@gruntopolouski5919 I disagree that objecting to a possible scientific advancement on moral or religious reasons is dumb. Theres a reason most people on this planet are religious. It just happens that here in the west we replaced our old religion with worship of celebrities and technology. And this is a dangerous thing. This technocratic, subjective morality look on the world can be used ti justify any means to any end. Last time that happened, we got world war 2.

@wave1090 im not religious and i have severe objections to it

Every couple months there is another huge breakthrough reported in some field like the ones mentioned in this video, cold fusion, room temperature superconductors, some form of free energy, super strong materials, etc. Anyone who has any familiarity with the scientific process knows to just hold your horses and see if the study can be replicated in independent trials. Sometimes, it turns out to be correct. The LK99 thing wasnt, but there have been breakthroughs in superconducting materials in the past decades. When carbon nanotubes were discovered, a lot of people also thought it was bs. You simply cant know before people put in the work to verify the claims. Also, with video editing and AI systems being abundantly available right now, you probably shouldnt trust a video that shows a levitating rock, just saying.

@jackm4364 did you even read what i wrote lol

@tonyhakston536 i already wrote a several hundred word essay here, i dont think i need to elaborate further unless you have a specific question. scroll up and read my previous comments in this thread.

If you want to see dedication to truth and holding people accountable, you should look into speedrunning. People will write 80 page essays with university level math just to try to prove that someone changed a game file to improve their RNG.

@tonyhakston536 it doesnt come out of nowhere if you actually read the entire thread.

Data is never perfect. Thats why statistics exists.

@Francois39 yeah i mean doing anything solely on religious grounds is irrational, per definition.

@thesysop4998 maybe skip the "flat regions" part, it might be interpreted...differently.

@J-Johna-Jameson That's not the only time that happened. Just in Minecraft several other speed runners got banned for changing game files after people spent hundreds of hours analyzing footage and building math models of in game mechanics to prove that the items they got from chests and their luck with drops were impossible. This has also happened in Diablo 2, in Civ 6, in many other games. You don't mess with the speed running community.

Insane production quality as always

@Linneom back when he was governer and before 9/11 as president he could form coherent sentences. by the end he wasnt much more coherent than biden is now. im pretty sure theres something wrong with the drugs they give the presidents over there in the usa.

@vidal9747 you are right, my objections are not scientific in nature, they are moral and ethical and social in nature. i wouldnt want to live in a world where we kill embryos to heal sick people that should have died already if they werent artificially kept alive and in pain by modern medicine. id rather see us try to improve the quality of life for our children instead of eating them for our own benefit. besides that, there is a whole nother can of worms to consider around stem cells such as the remote possibility that people who are not sick or dying of cancer, could use them to extend their lifespans with it as well, possibly indefinitely. i dont think we should be messing around with that. people are supposed to grow old and die so that a new generation can take charge and lead their communities. longer lifespans just lead to societal stagnation, as we are currently seeing in the west with a bunch of 70 to 80 year old boomers who havent understood what is going on since the year 1960 clinging on to power even if it drives us off the cliff economically and socially. imagine having 200 year old boomers in your parliament, writing laws you have to follow. i would quite literally start a civil war to prevent that from becoming reality, and i wouldnt hesitate a second or feel bad about it for half of one. and then theres the emotional argument that it just feels wrong to me, just like im opposed to abortion for the same reason. im not religious, this is purely a secular opinion that i have on the value of human life.

@churblefurbles what?

@etprinceps9526 bush did 9/11

@purplefood1 just because the state is secular doesnt mean people cant vote, or make policy in office, with religious motivations. thats a consequence of freedom of religion. if the majority of people believes something to be against their religion, then they can successfully petition their political representatives to ban it. thats why secular states have constitutions that protect peoples rights so the majority cant simply vote to remove the rights of other groups.

@Brent-jj6qi now what kind of dumbass ignorant comment is that? people have been religious everywhere up to maybe a few decades ago when atheism became acceptable in a small minority of places. and that doesnt have anything to do with any dark ages.

@lizflamma4252 As long as those embryos arent used in genetic research, i am not against it in all cases. Lets say youre too young to raise a child, you use a condom but it ruptures, then its a good solution to prevent unwanted pregnancy and unwanted children. I can tell you first hand, being an unwanted child is not fun. But in general I am not a fan of anything that gets rid of pregnancies, just use protection or dont have sex if you dont want kids (yet) . Ive been doing that for a long time and its not that hard to put on a rubber.

@evryhndlestakn quis custodiet ipsos custodes? It doesn't matter how many layers of control you implement, the man at the end of the chain will be in control and that man cannot be checked. The end result of all this genetic research will be the mongrelization of the human race. Brave New World.

As someone who has worked in image processing, I can definitely tell you that doing image segmentation on pictures of beautiful swedish women would have incentivized me to work harder than doing it with pictures of second hand cars.

@skyaero8773 Hot fusion is not a divisive issue at this point. ITER will be up and running in the next decade, the technology has been proven to work, its just a matter of scaling up. Whats crazy is that basically the entire developed world together is investing one half of a billion euro per year into technology that we know can generate nearly infinite clean energy, while investing much more into dumb measures like converting to electric cars before the energy grid and electricity generation capacity are ready for it, as well as wasting tons of rare materials on batteries and solar panels. If all that money had been invested into fundamental research we would have a working hot fusion reactor right now. But I guess that doesnt make the car manufacturers money.
