going to respond to your other comment here since it got killed: i think a lot of art could be described as fashionable nonsense, and hyperreality is an artistic philosophy. it's interesting to contemplate the root concept of a map ove

to you, the grandparent comment made a claim assigning Z to X, which you argue as bad faith because you couldn't find evidence that X=Z. to me, the grandparent poster claimed X is more likely than Y without ever claiming equivalence. t

thank you for taking the time to disentangle and reorient the discussion. thanks also for explaining that my intentions are irrelevant when offense is caused. perhaps we shall discuss again another time, until then take care

ah so other languages emulate harvard to a degree. I wonder if performance could improve by reimplementing a C like language based on a von neumann abstract machine inspired by something other than a PDP. thanks for your response

by thin_carapace 2mo ago
may I ask specifically what aspects of C lead to examples of quasi low level status such as the one you gave? I'd hazard a guess the C abstract machine is defined in a particular manner differentiable from say the JVM?

hard drugs wreck the body and cause dependency. amphetamine does both those things regardless as to whether an accredited body claims otherwise. if you think it's ok to dose swathes of the population with hard drugs because it's &

rather than attributing this to the brain or system inherently, it seems more accurate to focus on the position of the brain relative to the system. I think that's what the other person was trying to get at, but you're already awa

I also think that the system is cruel to convince its cogs that it is acceptable to experience stress to the point of requiring hard drugs, and I think the person you're responding to has provided a valid counter example of what life c
