Everyone has the Ape right do kill themselves at any time. But you should really do it yourself. If we were more virtuous, there would be little need for these laws- or rather, those who need a man in a coat to tell them they're allow

Everyone has brain damage that accumulates over the course of your life. A 50-year old has a lot fewer brain cells than a 20-year old; I wonder what would happen if you regrew them?

There's clearly a qualitative difference between humans and our closest relatives. There's some axis on which humans are an outlier for life on earth. I mean, we're not worried about any other animal rising up and taking ov

I could imagine someone who looked so much better while wearing glasses that "they're charming because of their glasses" is true. Anyway, it seems much more likely that there would be a causative link between ADHD and creativ

A charity organization that converts 70% of the money you give it into e.g. saved human lives is better than one that converts 5%. EA was inspired by the observation that most people don't know where their money is going when they give

You never actually need 90% of the functionality a library gives, though... With some notable exceptions (cryptography). Most times I've excised a library I've only needed to implement a small part of what it did.

It's easier to just eat your competition's babies. That's the adaptation that evolved when scientists ran the limited-resources experiment with insects.

Good; natural ecosystems re a moral hazard, anyway- a giant, self-perpetuating torture dungeon. If somebody created predator species, or botflies, or ringworms, you'd have them executed for crimes against nervous systems. I vote, the

They have lead, etc. In them. If not properly recycled (they won't be) that'll end up in the environment. And they cover up and mar the beauty of the land. Maybe that's fine if you live next to a desert.
