  • very nice that your username is a shitty fusion of reek and latin meaning "revealer of nothing higher." This comment is dog shit.

  • not entirely, as leather is still a wildly useful fabric and material for many uses which synthetic leather can serve(to a greater or lesser extent, granted), but only in specific cases can meat not be replaced/not replaced effectively

  • thought, think, will think. But I kind of did say that already.

  • the difference between pseudo-science and science can be slight, and always better understood in hindsight. IQ was a big part of race science in the early 1900s, and it looks like science. It's objectively measured, systemic data. You've gotta take a step back to realise it's bullshit and too subjectively defined to be useful for anything. A big part of science is trying to think objective, and it's only been somewhat recently there's been a movement to remind people that they aren't actually objective, ever.

  • Oh I'm sorry, you misunderstood. I'm not here adverting hexbear, because I don't give a shit what you think about my platform. I'm making fun of you for having dogshit opinions.

  • what a brain-dead response. Did you give it a second's thought?

  • at teh end of the day we don't have a definition of consciousness, so issues that would come down to it can't be decided.

  • I was specifically talking about forwards time travel to distinguish between someone's mind existing in the world and them being alive as two separate states. In teh backwards timetravel example, what makes them different people? I would say legally they are the same person, and the same ethics and morals apply to them, and many people who know the version of them in the past would probably recognize them as the person they know albeit a bit different. Are you not the same person you were yesterday? Or a minute ago?

  • so much better than america, where it just wouldn't be made in the first place

  • If you stepped through a time-travel portal, your conscience would effectively not exist between the original time and the time the portal leads to, yet no one would call you dead. If you could somehow install your mind into a new body, let's say you download it into a flashdrive and plug it into someone else's brain while your original body lays without a mind, people may call our body dead but not you. So when there is a continuity of self between the person who steps inot the teleporter and the person who steps out, I will never call that a death, that's silly.

  • I don't see that as sad. Also, even if we lived four hundred years we'd still need to write things down because we'd eventually die.

  • I love labs were they are like "we use three tools. A toothpick you can get at any restaurant, a device invented in the middle ages that hasn't changed and is still made by like 30 people tops, and the million dollar magic machine that we don't really understand"

  • inherent distrust of google, which is deeply pervasive

  • Conservatives are liberals based upon the meaning of words. Do you know what liberalism is? It's not gay rights and lattes.

  • it's actually short for petite peeve, because it's something small and unimportant. Or maybe it's not, but you don't know.

  • such an odd thing to do.

  • I don't know why you would go on the "people talking about events" platform and being surprised people are talking about events that aren't happy. That's just poor planning. I mean yeah, be there for your friends, but you should be able to have light or pleasant conversation pretty often, and steer away from troubling topics when you aren't up for it, far easier than online.
