I'm pretty sure Julian Jaynes' work is entirely hypothetical and is thought if as just an interesting idea rather than actually having any semblance of truth to it... unless you actually believe the Greeks were amongst the first h

Do you have examples of what weird stuff they would say? Im having a hard time imagining what you mean exactly.

What is your understanding of a Pre-Release then?

Do you have children? If no, then how can you make this assertion? If yes, what or who is filling the gap that children fill for you?

Lice have no choice in their lot in the universe. Do you think if they had intelligence the ability to choose their lot that they would choose their current one again? I doubt it personally. You can detest their mode of existence whilst sti

1. Artificial insemination without consent 2. Birth and all of its pain and potential complications 3. Removal of offspring as early as possible to repeat steps 1 and 2 and so prolong lactation 4. Mastitis All of these result in suffering m

Shame you cant remember the source. Ive long since wondered if its actually more deleterious for my health to cycle to work in London due to air quality. I came to the conclusion that youre damned if you do and damned if you dont in the end

For me, I thought this until I tried spinning up my nix setup on a new machine and realised that a lot of my work patterns were being stored subconciously in my shell history. After using atuin with nix, each new machine became a carbon cop

These sorts of things are sold all over France as well so you can remove the Chauvinism

That seems like an extreme interpretation if I'm honest. As ever, its more likely somewhere in between your hammer analogy and the handyman. In any case, there is almost zero downside to listing your sources when answering a question a

Is it not more akin to asking a handyman to go and do the work for you? They are the ones wielding the hammer, youve just sent them off to go and do it on your behalf without getting your hands dirty. If you then claim to take credit for it

I dont understand the point your comment is making. Are you being facetious or genuine?

What I've observed both in the comments here, and in my professional network is that people tend to fall into two distinct camps: 1) Those that use git like a crude autosave who then squash on merge 2) Those that prefer neatly wrapped,

Just to call out - halal and kosher are _less_ humane than simply killing an animal in the usual industrial way

I dont know if the reasoning for a rewrite is purely for maintainability though. Ive used python at scale and its fine if you have reasonably good code hygiene. The reason I'd want to rewrite in any of those languages is they're s

What do you suggest as alternatives? Currently I'm using firefox which seems ok but I know they are propped up by google somewhat

I think these ideas are orthogonal. I do not think that conciousness is defined by human experience at all - in fact, I think humans do a profound disservice to animals in our current lack of appreciation for their clear displays of conciou

Why do you think stringing words together is any more a sign of consciousness than google maps is when it tries to find the best route available to your destination? It seems to me that humans often fall into the trap of anthropomorphism. T

hah - 50 year olds have been amongst the worst offenders from what I've experienced. The only generation that I can see that hasnt completely fallen is the generation that were young adults just around the time facebook first released,

Somewhat. I think we are still quite a long way from ethical practices even in the "good" cases. I eat meat, but try to limit it to once a week and have replaced milk with oat and soy in a lot of places. I still love cheese but it

Billions of pigs cows and chickens will stop being massacred in grizzly ways? Yours is an extremely common and unfortunately ill-informed argument that I see a lot. If I was given the choice between end all suffering by killing all factory

Talk about confidently incorrect. Gatwick and Heathrow have water stations all over the place and I recently saw similar in Geneva

Why? Is this is because of shame or fear of losing your job?

It does, but the L-Theanine has an almost neutralising effect on the more jittery and frenetic aspects that caffeine can bring. It leaves you feeling what I would describe as more focused and calm, rather than alert and anxious

Can you offer some rebuttal to give some credence to your point?

I dont think this is the same. If you started referring to North America as a name for the USA then it would be equal
