The egg… laid by a bird that wasn’t a chicken

Neil D Tyson

The explanation goes as follows:

Since any offspring is never going to be 100% genetically similar to its parent, eventually an offsprings genome will mutate into what we humans would classify as a chicken within our “scientific” definitions.

Imo the concept of a chicken is an illusion. It’s a bird thing that I can eat, and sometimes they’re really nice and lay eggs, that’s what a chicken is.

Whenever I think of the Dylan Roof incident.

The death penalty isn’t a punishment, who really learns from it, the criminal? It’s a tool for society to remove what amounts to a defective person (not human, person). People are supposed to value the lives of other people by default. Any sustained deviation from this norm is a symptom of a person who cannot value life.

Dylan Roof was given 1000s of opportunities to demonstrate that he did actually value life but because of his defective nature there was no choose but to remove him.

“Life in prison” can be canceled/pardoned/changed, death cannot. That is why it’s near impossible to make it happen and even if it does, people spend the rest of their lives waiting for their “execution” (ftr Dylan is still alive at this time source).

Now in what possible world would you be able to convince a jury of random peers, or judges with their heads actually screwed on tight, that a sample size of one murder proves that a person is defective.

Undeniably fair

I’ve been experiencing something like this too…

I’m really insomniac due to mental health stressors and chemical imbalances. I honestly might die if I don’t use meds to put myself to sleep for 2 weeks straight.

That being said my meds are correcting the chemical imbalances. And I get to notice as I try to fall asleep after a high stress day I’ll ruminate too hard and I’ll stay awake after the “put-down” pill wears off, (then I gotta decide to give up on sleep all together or damage myself more with another pill).

I’m not a doctor (just traumatized). Ruminations come from anxiety sometimes, try to recognize what you’re actually actually doing to prevent yourself from sleeping.

Yes… Gun laws in the US are bullshit.

Afaik it’s because there’s absolutely no other applications for brass knuckles to work. You can only assault people with brass knuckles.

Fire-arms can be used for “defence” and “hunting”.

Edit: inb4 I don’t agree with laws around brass knuckles, or most laws about most weapons.

Huh… wish I was there. Oh well seems like the fediverse is working, yay

That’s not how this works… you just go to a different instance like wtf?

It’s nearly impossible to relinquish your own citizenship, how many people is it gonna take to take someone else’s citizenship?

If I could have something magical: I’d like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through

If it’s gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what’s going on bc I forget shit, but it’s not forgotten I just didn’t remember that memory at the right time even though I had it…

Talking to people hasn’t been going well lately

It’ll take me too long to find an example I’d stand behind so I’d rather comment a condition

I feel like there are billionaires in the world who manage to be rich without damaging society (or being the society).

If there’s one example then there’s no excuse for all the others to behave the way they do…

If all billionaires are the same then it’s past time to question why we have to put up with them

Anybody who disrupts capitalism should be punished. We’ve done it before and we gotta do it again.

The whole point of capitalism is self determination. Not to dominate the world, we’re not anarchists. But these criminals are pulling massive amounts of money out of the economy and that’s not acceptable.

Slip and slide right into CP

Ban insurance. Force the hospitals to compete like civilized businesses.

Anyone got ideas on how we can limit AI effectively?
