Conservatives spread like the cancer that they are The more sick something is, the more it wants to spread itself. That is the nature of evil.

Yes you did. Demanding everyone see to it from a Jew's POV is the problem. Your POV has no special status, but you believe it does. The Holocaust does not entitle Jews to special epistemic or moral status. But they often believe it does.

Being conservative is all about survival. Kids are survival.

Outstanding!

That is a health hazard.

Grab the hoe, it's time to sow!

That's a bit hasty. We need to explore the possibility of digital intelligence and life. It just needs to go way beyond LLMs and vacuuming up all the world's IP.

How about rape.

This war is not about American profit, for once. It is about Putin's imperialism. Sometimes it is profitable to oppose a devil. You don't think Russian oligarchs profit off war?

I do not deny parapsychology science. But at the same time, I have no idea how sound their research was. We are taking their word for it.

@Joshe

LSD is very coin-flippy for me.

Well, that's what he's doing

If you suddenly became Tom Cruise, you would be freaking out and run to a mental hospital. You are not appreciating how serious it is to lose your entire sense of identity. It is worse than death. Psychedelics do not wipe out all your memories and psyche.

It is just a side-effect of your survival. Your question is like not understanding why surgery hurts. If the body requires surgery, why does it still hurt? Because you are evolved to survive within a very narrow band of situations. Outside those situations your body/mind will react inappropriately. Salvia is not what your psyche has evolved for. So it is scary.

Salvia is excellent when done at the right dose. People are being fools and overdosing on salvia, then blaming the salvia. This is like blaming your car for driving off a cliff at 150 miles per hour.

Conservatives in general are going to be more pessimistic than liberals because they live in harsher survival environments. It is hard to be optimistic in Afghanistan or Somalia. It is easy to be optimistic in Norway or Denmark.

@gengar I think there are very subtle aspects to manifestation. But they are subtle. They are not as brute as imagining a million dollars and it appears in your bank account. Spiritual effects of the mind are subtle. The human mind has a very subtle pull on the material world. New Agers love to exaggerate this pull and invent all sorts of fantasies around it.

No. We don't allow that here.

Is it stealing if I go into a grocery store, cut a hole in a Coke bottle, and suck it out with a straw?

Just because a chat-bot can't do it doesn't mean computers can't be conscious in the future. Chat-bots are very primitive compared to what is possible with proper research and understanding.

You are like Harry Potter asking JK Rowling why you are not a kangaroo.

@Jirh

But that is just stealing Photoshop's work. It's like you are saying, "How amazing that we can steal anything."
