Yeah women have famously never had really really bad times with marriage
You know how the suicide rate among women plummeted when no-fault divorce became a thing? Total coincidence
Ooh I wonder if any of these 59 comments are from dudes who think this is an actual product and not an art piece intended to spark discussion about the importance of consent
As they should, literacy tests are subjective and designed to allow the proctor to pass or fail based of arbitrary personal biases
This reads like a description of the D&D PHB.
...is that why so many people think they get an extra attack when they do something other than an Attack action? Yes, that includes the Ready action. You get one hit if you ready an attack.
Judging only by their job titles, the COO & producer Francois Meurisse, marketing & release producer Benjamin Demanche, associate producer Vincent Constantin-Turki, admin and office manager Emilie Perez, and happiness manager Monoco might not be considered "developers." Even if only 27 of the Sandfall team are devs, the main point of this article is that there were also many many external developers from outside Sandfall working on the game
I was just pointing out my frustration at their team size
My point is that we were never alive at all. We have no consciousness because of determinism, we follow a path that cannot be changed.
This doesn't follow. Consciousness does not necessitate free will. Just because it's an emergent property of a complex set of deterministic chemical reactions in our brains doesn't mean it somehow isn't real.
What we call "unconsciousness" is really just a state of reduced consciousness. Your mind is maintained throughout, and you're still aware of the outside world, just to a lesser extent.
No it doesn't. What we call "unconsciousness" is really just reduced consciousness. Your mind is maintained and you remain aware of external stimuli, just to a much weaker degree.
Hi, I'm a naturalistic determinist atheist. I won't be taking a teleporter. The problem is that my body (which my continuous conscious experience resides in) will get erased if I do.
Replace "dismantled by the teleporter" with "shot in the head," and it might make it a bit more obvious why it matters that the original you dies. I wouldn't want to be shot in the head, even if I knew there was a perfect facsimile of me being constructed the moment the bullet entered my brain. The fact that this me would die makes intuitive sense to me.
There will be a you, but it's not the same you. If you read my exchange with the other guy, then what are your thoughts on the "shot in the head" topic? Would you be okay with this you being killed in a very real and visceral way, as long as a you would be reconstructed elsewhere?
Your consciousness doesn't stop when you're asleep. Evidence: alarm clocks exist
I hate this comic. Your alarm clock is proof that you don't truly lose consciousness in the way this comic implies when you go to sleep.
This is equivocation. Under one definition, a me died. Under a much more meaningful and relevant definition, the only me died. Someone else that looks and acts and sounds like me is alive, but I am not experiencing life through his senses. He's a different guy, even if no other person can tell the difference between us. I already explained this.
If you acknowledge that “you” is just a electrochemical reaction, you're just like a computer program: only defined by what's happening, not which CPU is running it.
I said that consciousness is a chemical reaction, and also that my experience of life is bound to my physical body. If you destroy my physical body, my experience of life ends. I do not care if an identical program is running on a different CPU right now, I am running on this one.
I want you to imagine for a moment that I'm about to shoot you in the head, but I explained that "it's fine, because I just scanned your body and at some point I will make a perfect reconstruction of it. Nobody will ever know the difference between the you that I shoot in the head and the you that I reconstruct later." You don't want me to shoot you in the head. I know that for a fact. You know there's a difference between the you that's experiencing life right now, and the you that I will reconstruct elsewhere.
It doesn't matter whether I reconstruct you later, or I've already done so, or if I do so at the exact moment the bullet enters your brain. I know that you know that when you get shot in the head, you die, regardless of how perfectly I can recreate you elsewhere. Does this analogy help you to understand why I think that a transporter that disintegrates your body kills you?
I was gonna say that, but "Expedition 33" rolls off the tongue so nicely. Plus, I'd love if Monoco was my boss
Okay? That's all well and good, but there is a way to know that a transporter does kill you. Given a choice between maybe living or definitely dying, I'm gonna choose the former.
If you eliminate that location part (e.g. like in “The Prestige”), nobody will know or care who is “copy” or “original”
I will. Or rather, if my original body gets disintegrated, I won't. Because I'm dead.
I'm saying that you're essentially believing in souls.
Nope. I'm explicitly denying the existence of a soul. My experience is bound to my physical body, and nothing else. If my physical body is disintegrated, then my existence ends, even if someone constructs a perfect copy of my body somewhere else. That will not be my physical body.
Frustratingly, Sandfall has 32 employees. Their happiness manager needs an intern
My transporter clone and I may be indistinguishable to you, but I can distinguish between us pretty easily. A transporter is not interrupting a chemical process and then letting it continue, it is stopping a chemical process and then starting another one elsewhere. Death or no death is very meaningful to me, the person who is about to be disintegrated at the entrance of this transporter.
The person who shows up at the lever looks like me, acts like me, thinks they're me, and they are not me. No matter how arbitrarily similar we are, they're a different person. If the transporter fails to disintegrate me, I do not see through that person's eyes. I do not hear through that person's ears. Because they're a different person.
So it stands to reason that if the transporter does disintegrate me, I still will not see through that person's eyes nor hear through that person's ears. And because my eyes and ears are gone, I will never see or hear anything again. There's a word for this state of existence, in which you do not experience anything.
I already explained how the thing that makes the consciousness continuous doesn't transfer over to the new body. It's not magic.
Really, all of this philosophical posturing is pointless. When you step into the entrance of the transporter, the entity that experienced stepping into the entrance of the transporter does not experience stepping out of the exit. If that entity is successfully deconstructed, it dies.
Assuming we're talking about Star Trek/The Prestige style transporter. Some kind of space-bending wormhole that physically transports a body doesn't kill the user.
Downvoted for no reason. Like, Clair Obscur was free on Gamepass. I ain't hearing shit about how it isn't worth the price tag
