Ahh... Philosophy... I can't agree with you. People have got their human mind as a result of ever increasing and self-inflicted costs driven by a competition among males. They developed minds to play politics and they came to a point w

It depends on the kind of supernova. Type Ia[1] is really insane. 10^44 J is a thing, that I think can blind you, even you've chosen a spot for your picnic to watch a Big Boom at distance of 1 parsec. A white dwarf made mostly of carbo

Really challenging. In some aspects it can be worse than to regain vision. If you are not accustomed to sounds, they can be annoying, and may make you feel tired. The same can happen with vision, it is just too much, but you can close your

Judging by how humanity didn't see any of those for millennia and now three in just several years, I can propose two hypotheses: 1. Astronomers became good enough to notice them 2. These rocks are first in an incoming flood of such obj

Two quotes about shattering plates: “It’s like if you had a porcelain plate with a picture of an Italian city,” said Hendrik Schatz (opens a new tab), a nuclear astrophysicist at FRIB. If you wanted a piece with just one house on it, you’d

I'm going to explain my views on this in a full. It is a lot of text, but I hope it is ok. People don't have an innate ability to distinguish truths from lies, they need to learn this skill. Before Internet and LLMs they were rely

Going this way we should ban the word "objective", because no knowledge can be objective, because you need a thinking subject to process raw data to create knowledge. Going this way we'll risk to end up in a world, where ther

You'll get mental issues if you sleep under a bridge for a while. You see, homelessness is a very low-status existence. Hormone levels mirror it and make your mind to be low-status. It changes your behavior in perceptible ways. Like a

It is just speculations. If we rely on LLMs, then something bad happens. Truly, something will happen, but will it be bad? A calculator ruins people's ability to do mental arithmetic, is it bad? I'm not sure, why I'd need to
