"The right to end others lives", isn't that something we bestow upon ourselves and abide by every single day through the conflict amongst humans, the ...

That sounds like a purely utopian standpoint. Human beings do in fact act out of malicious intent in the majority of circumstances. That is a fact tha...

Well, ArmChairPhilospher, why discuss the safety of the continuation of life if currently and in the past, we have put our self-interests above all el...

And why would that be?

Precisely, Hitler's agenda sprouted out of malice, whereas yours appears to sprout out of sadism. If I have to weigh them on the "evil" scale, sadism ...

This thread encompasses a vast majority of topics. It should not only be about the literal action of killing bugs but also the implications of the act...

"Less interesting and interactive than toying with ants" Adolf Hitler was better than this, @IanBlain. At least he truly believed that the Aryan race ...

Yes, to answer that, we need to answer the question, what is pain? Pain is essentially a response your brain generates when the neurons in a particula...

That is a rather cruel logic, don't you think? Animals never hurt a person unless they feel threatened. Humanism, the philosophical idea that homo sap...

By “algorithm adjacent”, I mean that it is quite possible to code in a way we do with our regular algorithms. Now, by “mapped”, I mean that the neural...

Consciousness in neuroscience is something that hasn’t been decodable for eons. Is it a phenomenon? Is it a perception of sorts? Is it simply an idea ...

And that is very much accepted. In fact, post-modernism is a concept that is often misunderstood. And here, the politics involved is very much a facto...

Free will and every other perception is in fact an algorithm adjacent activity. Now, human beings are literally the way they are because of their neur...

AI and machine learning works on the basis of learning based on a primary code. It is one that doesn’t need to be given instructions time and again. B...

Well, that would be a fair point considering the fact that initially they did not have to nor want to enter this game of obstacles and unnecessary cha...

Science is not a snake's skin. Once it has served its purpose, it cannot be shed. Primarily speaking, it will never complete serving its purpose. Once...

But isn't that the case with our reality? We are born as embryonic flesh bags on this planet and eventually, we become flesh bags and end up decomposi...
September 21, 2021 at 04:04
What is life if not an illusion concocted by our brain? Neuroscientifically speaking, we could be cycloptic deranged purple monkeys under the thrall o...
