So true! The question at the top is a power play, a sales pitch, an ego boost that fakes reciprocity but keeps all the cards. Notice how the vulnerability is kept in the past. "I used to be lonely, but now I'm fine! I don't n

He falls more towards the idiot savant side for me. Not because he was necessarily dumb, but he channeled his intelligence in such useless ways. All raw intellect, and no cohesion, theme or application. I read his story as a cautionary tale

Had to think about "homozygosity" for a bit. The science jargon makes my brain turn off. I thought the original title was translating, not editorializing (maybe clickbaity to leave out the [small] effect size).

(After looking at the prediction), 15 years feels very reasonable. Like, it's taking away the rest of the prime of his life, which is terrible, but there's still light at the end of the tunnel.

In an ideal lawful society, a disagreement over gas won't escalate into a violent confrontation. So the attendent can intervene, because they aren't in physical danger.

I think the definition given in the article is pretty squarely accurate. The fundamental "problem" of consciousness is that systems are deterministic (and/or random), so where is that special spark? Surely a machine can'

Only if you're a hoarder, or it's career-related and you're meticulous. I find that if I start saving stuff, the drive to collect starts outweighing the value of the collection rapidly. AI search would be the only reason to.

Superego is what you are supposed to do, id is what you want, and ego is where they meet in the middle. If you are identifying with the superego, maybe you are in a situation where you more "have to"s than "want to"s?

Three-brain structure (Freud's id, ego, superego) is still the best simple explanation I know. Maybe the physical reality is a bit different, but it partitions actions so nicely. Id - base impulses, bubble up automatically and subconsc
