  1. Yeah, they're not even in the same league. Gorillas get eaten by leopards.

  2. I try not to be too arrogant or prejudiced, but it seems to me that "open relationships" most often is just the dude being exploited and basically abused. I've never seen a very handsome guy in an open relationship, it typically seems like the dude is desperate to be in a relationship at all. There's no symmetry to it. There's a huge power difference fully exploited by the woman.

  3. But Hoffmann makes claims specifically about things "beyond the horizon" when calls everything an "illusion". >More so all our theories are part of that illusion. That's precisely the problem. His argument that everything is an "illusion" is based on illusions. All of this seems like a very confused mangling of Kant's criticism of pure reason.

  4. I think "Ye" lacks the intellectual capacity to be dishonest.

  5. You keep missing the mark here. Pretty dumb personal assistants already ask "why" and refer to themselves as "I". Websites routinely say "no" and so does your command line tool if you're not logged in as admin. Self preservation has nothing to do with selfishness. It's an instrumental goal of pretty much every ultimate goal.

  6. No way I'm losing to someone, who didn't even go to university. >: (

  7. It's overrated. It's basically a retelling of Russian history with animals.

  8. I see that you've never pressed into a proper clay tablet. Paper and pens are ok if you really have no clay with you at all. But I'm never gonna write anything important again, clay all the way.

  9. That would be completely trivial and uncontroversial.

  10.  @IAn0nI  When you're not a "materialist", you should have even more doubts about using the word "illusion", because for you an illusion is just an impression at odds with another class of impressions. Ie "everything is an illusion" is then completely meaningless. Hoffman does presuppose not just materialism, but he's making claims about the world prior to any observation.

  11. Kanye is utterly crushing the dreams of young boys and girls aspiring to become the most notorious incoherent narcissistists in history.

  12. Lol, no, it shouldn't. People, who are for "required reading" only reveal that they are not very widely read themselves.

  13.  @CutieSenussi  If someone asks me whether kangaroos are native to Australia, I say yes and present that as a fact. If thoughts coming and going spontaneously is not a "fact" then nothing is. You can literally check that right now.

  14. Even if they were matched for weight, the bear would have an edge. But on average brown bears are much larger. It's not even close. If you know how large those animals are, tge answer is obvious.

  17. No. "Free will" is nonsense. Consciousness certainly exists.

  18. Yeah atheists are unreasonable, because they believe in gods.

  19.  @ludo2914  He never fought in any tournaments. There's one video of him fighting in a training context and it's nothing special. If you think Bruce Lee was a world class fighter, you're the same kind of person, who believes in aikido and wing chun.

  20. Word salad.

  21. So? Where is your evidence for other things to "discover"? This is just empty rethoric.

  22. Who tf is "us"? Maybe you are, but other people aren't. In fact they are critical in a myriad of different ways. Epistemology has been a field since antiquity and its still thriving and touches on discourse theory and phenomenology, and philosophy of mathematics and science and recently machine learning. It's extremely relevant and everywhere. Who tf is "cocksure"? Who?

  23. No, that's not what people mean with free will.

  26.  @danielm5161  That means you reject free will.

  28.  @DonBarracuda117  What evolution? The guy never fought. He was constantly on camera wooing audiences with all sorts of performances, but he never fought. No showcases, no tournaments, only one bad recording of a training fight in which isn't anything special. You have no reason to think he did enough fighting to have an "evolution".

  29. What does that absolutely trivial observation have to do with everything being an illusion?

  30. There's absolutely 0 room for "free will" either in physics or in personal experience. It's just plain nonsense, no matter how much you try to steelman the idea.

  31. Sounds like you're just unreasonably hostile towards ants. I think I care about the ants' well being as much as about that of other animals and people.

  32. 99.9% of times people say or write "these days" they haven't spent a microsecond asking the question of what was previous to "these days".

  33. That's extremely stupid. You ARE consciousness. There's no "interface". There is just the world and no borders whatsoever.

  34. They wouldn't, but they should.

  35. That's the stance on free will pretty much everyone, who has seriously thought about, agrees with. Compatibilists simply take something completely different and call it free will.

  36. It wouldn't even have to do that. Just by being on an electric computer, any human-level system immediately becomes super-human.

  37. It's really cringe how you try to shoehorn your 2000 yo old superstitions into every discussion. Your god could potentially play a role in football, but that's a possibility no one should spend any time on.

  38. People with sensible priors tend to do seem that way to muddle headed idiots. The evidence is extremely slim compared to the grandiosity and implausibility of the claim. And it's much better explained by a myriad of other things. It'd be more reasonable to say that a hiding sea people built advanced aircraft rather than that it's interstellar travellers.

  39.  @patrickd5274  It'll take a lot for me to believe that Destiny gets laid as easily as Melina. "Open" relationships are just cuckoldry. I've never seen a handsome guy in an open relationship.

  40. I've never seen a handsome guy in an open relationship. It's always one guy desperate to be in any relationship and a chick he thinks he can't otherwise hold. It's basically an open abuse of power on the side of the woman and consentual cuckholdry on the side of the man. Maybe there is other cases, but that's all I have seen.

  42. Soulmate my ass. She's gorgeous. That's why he sticks with her, even though he gets cucked and publicly humiliated.

  43.  @firstnamelastname6699  People have been at least serial monogamists for a long time. Men and women are close in size, men are selective about partners to some degree. Men don't have large canines. Etc Also men of course care deeply about exclusive access to a female, because that's the only thing that can avoid cuckoldry. A woman always knows that her offspring is related to her.

  44.  @jaybingham3711  No. You're informed relative to other people. And you don't know that there's a lot that we don't know. For all you know, we might know nearly everything. Your "humility" is just a pathetic attempt to bring knowledgeable people down to your level.

  45.  @KyBrancaccio  The conclusion is as firm as it is possible. Your inability to understand the most simple logic doesn't make proofs impossible.

  46.  @caricue  Do you think you control your immune system? Your sense of self is literally delusional. You might as well say that you control the planets. Do you punish tourettes patients for their ticks? You are horribly, horribly confused. Or rather your brain is, you are just awareness of the confusion.

  47.  @caricue  No, you don't, you absolute clown. When you get sick, you aren't planning an immune defense. You aren't organizing your mscle growth or overseeing digestion.

  48. Imo it's simply abuse. The woman fully abuses her position of power. It's a completely asymmetric, toxic arrangement.

  49. No, you conflate intelligence with consciousness. >that machines have their own goals or values Every agent has it's own goals or values, whether they are explicitly represented somewhere or not. >that’s a failure of my imagination No, it's muddle headed thinking. From a very high level, abstract point of view the AGI has some sort of desire and when it's desired state of the world is not precisely the same as yours, that's a very bad outcome for you.

  50.  @socrattt  >AIs will rewrite their goals Lol, why? Would you rewrite your own mind to hate your children or to develop a drive to torture little animals? Seems like you don't grasp the concept of a goal.
