The Google ai sez: "after World War II, large numbers of ethnic Germans were forcibly expelled from territories that were ceded to other countries, pa...

The latter isn't going to be addressed AT ALL by Trump. He's already said entitlements are off the table. So the couch cushions are pulled, DOGE rearr...

This is couch cushion stuff. Politicians who ignore entitlement reform are not serious about debts and deficits. Wouldn't you agree?

You moved to Canada?

Many countries lose wars and accept the new reality and move on. Why won't the Palestinians?

Thanks. That's in America though. Parts of Europe might need testing when it comes to freedom of speech.

That's because there are politicians who want to ban flag burning. I don't know of any politician that wants to ban Quran burning.

Do those values really need testing though? In the U.S. I know with certainty the government is not going to try and stop me from burning a holy book ...

Medicare and Medicaid are major drivers of the debt, would you agree?

The debt spiral won't be stopped until we address entitlements. Don't you agree?

Invented or discovered? Maybe a quibble, maybe not.

I recently bought a used Nissan Leaf. I love it. I plug it in when I get home and never have to worry about gas. It's also much easier to maintain.

Amnesia is the destruction of self? And also, if I lose 90% of my memories, am I 90% less a self?

Let's explore this. Suppose there's a parallel world where computers work without software. Whenever a user wants the computer to do something, they t...

Well, we know personally that we are special because we know we have minds. We then assume other humans and high-order animals have them too. But mach...

These are extremely weighty questions that have been asked for a very long time, with no good answers given (I lean towards idealism, by the way). Thi...

But doesn't it seem to you that your mind is an integral part of your intelligence "apparatus"? You consider ideas, you mentally weigh the pro's and c...

Is mind a necessary condition for intelligence?

But I know I have a mind and my mind is what I use to come up with responses to you (that I hope are perceived as intelligent!). We assume we all have...

Aren't we going to end up in the Chinese Room? No matter how the Ai is programmed, it's following a rules-based system that produces output we perceiv...

Netanyahu is corrupt as the day is long. He's also a Jew leading his country in a time of war, so of course he's "wanted for crimes against humanity"....

When Jews are defending themselves, the "genocide" dial gets turned up to 11.

When everything is genocide, nothing is genocide.

We killed more Japanese in one night of firebombing than Israel's done in a year. They're not very good at genocide, are they?

So let's pretend you're a woman and you can be dropped down into a random Muslim-majority country or Israel. Which would you pick? "Israel’s standing ...

I agree. And how do you get around the inverted spectrum problem? Suppose brain activity xyz feels like qualia xyz to me. I can never know what that q...

I don't know. There are two "things" involved in the paradox (I'm using "thing" very loosely), the piece of clay and the clay statue. Are there two "t...

What if you do it slowly? Suppose that 1% of my brain is replaced with someone else's and I'm awake for the whole thing. And then another percent...At...

God, this is a fascinating time to be alive. Well, everyone in the last 500 years has probably thought that.

That's a big if. Islam isn't an evil empire, and the Islamic holy book itself isn't any worse than the Bible or Torah, but for whatever reason, many M...

And the military and special agents.

Right. I should have caught that. I was skimming the thread.

I wouldn't expect any country to blanketly tolerate all religious tenets. The tenets that infringe on other's rights of non-interference will not be t...

I doubt it. In anycase, even if all support for Israel vanished and all troops were pulled out of the region, there's been such a history of terrorism...

It applies to some religious tenets. If your religion requires you to punch nonbelievers in the face, that shouldn't be tolerated.

It's even scarier if you consider I'm actually an advanced experimental Ai. :grin:

Yeah, I know. It sounded cool at the time. lolz

I agree. Does anyone here actually think they're consciousless p-zombies? Any argument that begins with the denial of consciousness and/or subjective ...

To paraphrase Mike Tyson, "Every country has a plan until they get punched in the face." It's easy to be against torture, until you have a captured nu...

If the Axis had won, Churchill and Roosevelt would have been hanged for war crimes, so what the Axis would have done to Allied leaders is neither here...

We = the Allies. Israel's crime then is not following the 1949 conventions that nobody else follows either, except for the Falklands?

Did we commit war crimes in World War 2?
