I would argue everyone has met a human that we question the sentience of irl, it is just considered rude to pry further. I have no evidence that there...
I can't help but see a lot of the claims about AI not being sentient as so much coping. If it acts and responds as if it is alive, should we as moral ...
So this was just unrelated to anything then, huh? Come on, man. I just did and found that I have made no assertions about you at all, aside from guess...
Odd, seeing as I never voted for him and said I openly disagree with a lot of what he does. I really dont forsee this conversation going anywhere; you...
Do you think the bloodlust from either side would be as bad if leadership from both actually tried to stop it? This is a both sides problem, and I'm t...
I remain unmoved. I used to be incredibly anti-Trump and still largely disagree with him, but I have seen too many examples of actual bloodlust from f...
I would find this more compelling if Trump wasn't also the target of political violence and threats. Not that I approve of the current flavor of polit...
I think this used to be true, until around when Obama won and the "demographics are destiny" folks convinced people they didnt have to try anymore. Me...
Agreed, and part of what I find so frustrating about the current political situation. Everyone still seems to want to play by rules for a game that is...
I would add that the reason for this is imo is likely because the left has been quietly winning most of the cultural battles for some time now, and is...
In my experience, having lived in both camps at various times, the issue comes from what people mean when when they talk about intolerance. I would ar...
To be honest, I'm not sure how it can be overcome. People on all sides of this issue get so oddly defense about gender stuff that really does not matt...
I should preface this by saying I mostly don't think gender should exist at all, as it places unnecessary limitations on people for acting outside of ...
I think this largely boils down to semantics and modern discourse not having the words to talk about this in a way that makes sense. To my mind, this ...
The point of hate speech laws was the ability to turn state crimes into federal ones for the purposes of trials being taken out of places considered t...
Tbh I have had a similar problem. Most places that discuss philosophy are full of bots, spam and bad faith; then you have places like this forum which...
I'm hesitant to put into words, not because I doubt your ability to understand but because I doubt my ability to describe it well. Something about thi...
Fascinating to see others independently come to similar realizations as myself. I can tell you from experience though that this line of reasoning (how...
Pardon the intrusion, but I think the fact that they are ontologically incapable of not responding to it, even though it would arguably be beneficial ...
To add on a bit of a late point, I have often found that people who are pro-woke tend to retreat to theoreticals and philosophy while neglecting the m...
I believe humans, like all animals, are inherently mostly selfish. That is not the same as evil, but it often overlaps. I sometimes take solace in the...
Interestingly enough, I tried my hand at developing what I called a "meta-religion" called Narrativism a while back. The gist of it was to essentially...
Less that it's the tech itself and more that it lets us see "the soul." Imo the soul is the electrochemical processes happening in your body, making t...
Welcome. I realized years ago that what ancient peoples referred to as the soul was likely them attempting to understand internal body electrochemistr...
We have people that would literally do that right now in this country with very little excuse. You cannot comprehend how much some Americans like guns...
Time is a predictable cycle on a large enough scale. It will destroy them too in time. The question is how much damage will be done before that happen...
"When every second counts, the police are only minutes away!" Agreed. My mom almost got kidnapped when she was pregnant with me. Without her gun threa...
The President is Commander-in-Chief of the military and has historically broad applications for deploying the national guard, was more my point. And n...
So just to be clear, your argument is that you want the government (currently run by Trump) to be the only people allowed to have guns? And you see no...
Perhaps. If true though, I can't say I'm upset, as woke is a poison pill for ideology. Hopefully if the GoP doubles down on identity politics, this wi...
Why would enjoying pain that is caused to you be evil? And yes, nostalgia is inherently a mixed feeling. It is a longing for a past that combines both...
