Not even from business standpoint. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the bottom line, but a business should be conscious about it's business model.
Why do people go to reddit? Funny memes and great comments. It started to become boring when the people started to act like bots (echochamber), now it's mostly bots echoing arguments and memes of past. With your restaurant analogy, it is more like they started selling the support beams instead of product.
I had a similar argument with a friend, and I think he won that time. It came out of left field and rephrases the whole thought experiment.
Instead of me defending the argument, how would you interpret a clone incident? Would you get 'the other feed' as well? We have the sleep cycle where we don't actively get input (even though our conciousness is present during dreams to a certain extent). So if a transporter clone incident rebuilds the person on the other side, but an original instant could go on experiencing a life that wouldn't be if the transporter functioned correctly.
Hopefully that took the soul out of your argument!
Yeah, there definitely are some waved away elements that are basically magic. I'm just binging TNG now, but I saw the Lower Decks tribute to many-a transporter incidents.
I mean if you can transport and not at the same time (the copy version), it is not hard to think that once that buffer is cleared on the one side, it's game over man.
It's so neat how different cultures adapted to numbers. Like French have something like 4 times 20 (and?) 2 to mean 82. In Hungarian if you say billió, that is one trillion rather one billion. We riff on the ending of million to express billion: milliárd.
And some even got the cyberpunkiness almost right (Johnny Nmemonic swung so hard!). I think for every visionary piece, we have 100 lost contemporary 'trash' (not trash, more like a picture of the spirit of the time) that has already been lost.
I mean Star Trek was pretty wickedly ahead of it's time for all of the creator's shortcomings. Still can't believe that teleporting doesn't kill you every time.
As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I'd say it's at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.
I still have some friends who think he's going somewhere with his shenanigans, but they are pretty far from anarchists.
It's cool that he is a disqualifier now, and having some people who rooted for him before his disgrace on the podium just makes the community that much more colorful.
