I was trying to explain the relayed subjective experience there. The relayed subjective experience is a discontinuity occurring that's similar to waking up. The self is the thing that relays the experience to other people. You're

We're going to be embarrassed of centralized solar in the future. Like big liver spots visible from space. Any expansion of energy supply is good - but assuming this doesn't detract from more effective efforts is naive. Even after

I think there are levels of inebriation disable your ability to contextualize sensory experience within a self. I think it basically amounts to becoming a p-zombie with some caveats.

I don't think there's a way define suffering without invoking contextualized pain and an entity that suffers (a self). A self is a complex phenomenon that has a bunch of additional requirements not least of which is the capacity f

Great question. I would guess he woke up and that this was subsequent to him forming memories again. Memory seems to be a requirement for the kind of self-referential conscious experience that appears to be basically unique to humans. An an

"Idea that one mammal has unrelated thinking/sensing from other mammals does not makes sense." Sure it does, you can see it all around you. It's so incredibly apparent that its actually possible to miss it. It's lik

I'm talking about being extremely drunk. I have a friend that "woke up" walking in a park after a night of drinking. If he was already walking exactly who woke up? My friend the human-animal was walking already. My friend the

Humans that are blackout drunk are emotional but non-conscious. They can carry on full conversations without a sense of being. Basically every animal exists in this state continuously. It's why human behavior is vastly different from a

Ever met a person who was blackout drunk? Easy example. They are very often not conscious but still emotional. You could easily imagine animals that exist in this state continuously without requiring chemical assistance. It makes sense on a

Humans seem pretty categorically different to me based on their behavior alone.

I agree that bitcoin is definitely in trouble if there's a powerful totalitarian world government that can unilaterally hack anything, stop any internet service via backdoors and packet manipulation, potentially break double SHA-256 en

When governments get involved in free markets - isn't the thing that makes this situation worse that the market becomes even less free? I can't understand your reasoning here yet.

by cupcakecommons 3y ago
It seems like the worst thing about free markets are changes that make them unfree or coercive beyond the baseline coercion inherit in being alive. Free markets are just the state of nature and improving on nature is difficult right?

Where does the money come from that funds these proxy wars? Taxes? Taxes barely cover half of what is spent year to year. Doesn't the rest comes from inflating the currency? Where else could it possibly come from? As long as we are run

Inflating the money supply by billions of dollars to fund several expensive conflicts around the world seems like it would have a larger effect on inflation right? We are in the process of regularly shooting down 300$ drones with weapons sy

The state wants to fully control the sources of media it currently only partially controls. How much more obvious can it get. It has nothing to do with the safety of anyone. It's all so tiring.

I am not discounting ideas or culture at all. I chose my terms wisely and never once mentioned genes. Culture is heritable and is very difficult to completely isolate from many other heritable or semi-heritable factors. Is cultural inherita

It's a good thing fear of racism and anti-racist signalling is strong. Sometimes it comes across is as naive and whinging though. Is the wish for South Koreans to reproduce the people in their high-functioning society racist? Do we rea

Paul Ehrlich seems like an evil person in that unintentionally or not he refuses to learn from his mistakes. They are also the kind of mistakes that incur massive opportunity costs which people are much less sensitive to than direct losses.
