It's actually the opposite and more complicated than that. AI-developed nootropics and germline editing will saturate human intelligence across individuals.

To be crystal clear in case there is confusion, we should also not confuse "everything is a shade of gray," with "all grays are the same shade." We can still have moral good and bad, even subjective good and bad, without

Essentialism of interiority is not the antidote to the anthropomorphism of language models. We cannot attach metaphysical baggage to art, text, or other human output because it has involves engaging in another deception, chiefly that of sel

> The system is rigged against people who provide labour We live in a capitalist system, not a labourist system. If you're making money off labor, you're playing the wrong strategy, and why? In capitalism, the only winning move

How would you test the hypothesis, "My architectural tastes align with the popular consensus"?

There are countless cases of a leader/authority summarizing their thought into an aphorism and followers/practitioners completely misinterpreting it with disasterous results. We find this pattern across time and domains from relig

Up until 2016, cost estimates were reported as nominal prices, only subject to overall inflation. Since 2018, these estimates have been reported in terms of years-of-expenditure. Anyone (video producer included) who doesn't account for

You would have to convince the design community that form can follow things other than function. Until form is no longer synonymous with function, design will eschew ornamentation.

If that's not biological, what is?

Taking hormones activates the genes responsible for making someone biologically a woman. That's kinda the point of taking them.

Dogs having agency actually makes the argument stronger. Assume dogs have agency. Despite this, it's still the dog owner's responsibility to prevent their dogs from engaging in some actions: biting, peeing and shitting in unappr
