Interesting statistic you should note. When people are asked whether they are happier with or without children most people pick happier. There is a positive correlation between picking happier and how wealthy someone is. Interestingly, when

First off nobody realistically talks about this. It's speculation. The topic at hand is talking about endeavors in the realm of reality. Not even mountains can last billions and billions of years, nobody is talking about immortality at

>Materialism does not have an imperfect explanation of consciousness - it has zero explanation of consciousness. First off zero explanation does not validate other explanations. Second off what you said is strictly false. Much of neurolo

Failure doesn't validate other forms of explanations. Materialism is an imperfect explanation but imperfection is not a metric for reliability. Evidence is the metric for reliability and so far as imperfect as materialism is... it has

Yes. By probability any attempt at an answer is absurd. I have a giant box, guess what's in the box. I'm willing to bet 1 million dollars that any guess you make is wrong simply because there are too many possible things that coul

How is it logical to know living forever is bad when you there isn't a single person on the face of the earth who has done so? This is not a rational statement or philosophy. It is simply speculation as we have no evidence whether this

I'm sorry but this is extremely weak none of this brings it anywhere close to 99%. This is youtube, a blog and reddit. Seriously.

Enhancement is a matter of opinion. One man's enhancement could be another man's dehancement. So this is an unreliable metric. We cannot truly know which reality is more actual. The reality experienced while sober and the reality

Grandiose rhetoric... Is the article itself not grandiose? God and spiritual experiences are grandiose topics. Take a very careful look at the language I used here dang. It's carefully worded to avoid personal attacks. I'm willing

Did you read the article. The investigative group is compromised. The doctors who were part of the group have strong connections and even experiments running in the same lab.

Why in your opinion is the lab leak so low in probability?

Covid was discovered in Wuhan by an eye doctor who died. Experts of corona viruses did not "discover" the virus, rather other people in the same vicinity did. The hospitals where regular doctors work discovered it. The virus was l

The article itself is about a man validating the truth behind his drug induced spiritual experience of god. I can't use science to disagree with that opinion because it's religious flame war? Then logically the article itself is i

Do you trust a man experiencing a high or a "powerful experience" to drive? If such a man cannot be trusted to drive why should we trust anything that comes out of his mouth. For all intents and purposes physical evidence points t

You accept testimony from one man whose judgement is compromised by psychedelics and whose testimony will be inconsistent with others who believe in gods and spirits and do drugs and get high? We cannot confirm which reality is real. The dr

Do not mistake an open mind for an unbiased mind. A higher dimensional being is equivalent to the cosmic hippo in a tutu, prancing across the stars. One concept sounds absurd but both concepts have in fact the same level of absurdity. The e

All available evidence points to the materialistic viewpoint. You cannot trust your feelings or experiences. You cannot even fully trust science and logic. However science and logic delivers more consistent results. You may feel like there&

One part of being human is the ability to rationalize situations rather then be rational about the situation. Two very different things. Our biases prevent us from recognizing this in ourselves ever. Not saying you're rationalizing you

All recursion can be translated into a loop and a stack. In the tail recursive case you don’t even need a stack, a loop would suffice. That means all divide and conquer algorithms can be implemented without recursion.

There's another methodology that Brian and Rob Pike miss. Rather then stepping through a program. Add breakpoints and just step from breakpoint to breakpoint. With a good IDE, adding a breakpoint and hitting a shortcut key is faster th

You need to try elm. Elm is better despite not having everything you mentioned. I’m not a fanboy either. I just used elm for one project, but from that it’s already enough to know.

Mickey Mouse is obviously a loophole. The purpose of the law was not made to do this and the time limits are not unreasonable. The problem you bring up is not a problem with the concept of IP. It is the problem of the exploitation of loop h

Like for example you’re clandestinely manipulating me right now. Everything you say is manipulation of me towards your opinion. And you say it’s a cost paid by others? Can you give me an example of how I don’t pay the cost? Right you can’t

No but when you restrict clandestine manipulation you restrict freedom of speech. Giving the government such power gives them the oversight to use the "clandestine manipulation" excuse on other things as well. Like I said, not so

No what you said is completely wrong. Publication is not required for an exclusive monopoly it is only required for a patent. There are many many monopolies and oligopolies over products that are enforced without patents or use of intellect
