If you accept a couple of other facts its even worse. Presuming you accept iq or related tests of cognitive ability as useful, (even if not capturing the entirety of human qualities) and you accept that males have higher variance in cogniti

I think there is a lot of evidence that using terms like "cis men" is the more poisonous attitude in the current day. GNC folks are not the norm. The clue is in the name. It's all well and good to let people choose things for

Regardless of the specific case of the laptop, it is beyond naive to think that every incidence of corruption that is known about is pursued in court. Even non-political figures who are known to be corrupt will not be prosecuted or pursued

Regardless of how outlandish this seems, this idea and the similar idea of uploading yourself into an exact digital copy to live forever don't seem too appealing to me, for the obvious reason that it's a copy of you, you (the orig

Of course you need a trust anchor. How would would it work otherwise?! If you can come up with a system where we could just all imagine up the same blockchain code, parameters, and have the code magically appear on our machines to run, that

Of course its very different than normal entities being in debt, since the government is ostensibly an arm of the people, who's income comes from taxing the populace. But it _is_ still debt right? It is still money owed. It is still mo
