Make it so.

I support the death penalty for people I personally want to kill, which is why the death penalty is probably a bad idea.

The other two in ten are not scheduled for execution.

Ludwig Hittgenstein, they used to call him. (But only in their private language.)

Reminds me of tax forms. Good times.

Stop judging sadists who aren’t hurting anyone. If anything, congratulate them.

That’s your own boring and unimaginative opinion. Have the humility to own up to it.

Maybe someone wants to explore the behavior of LLMs with extreme input. We call it testing. You can’t judge the value of that from a distance.

If AI could be conscious and sentient, such that any reasonable person would be obliged to grant it rights of some kind, THEN it must be taboo to create it, because that would be tantamount to creating immortal, indefinitely scalable political power directly from electricity. Don’t do that. If you do that your own life should be forfeit and your creations summarily destroyed.

Why? Because it would destabilize human society.

If we can’t get even anywhere close to a consensus on what men are, how they are different from women, and why they matter, then there is no hope for a general solution to the problem.

Any solution that does appear will be immediately branded toxic by someone who is not a man.

Indeed, there are some strange definitions of critical thinking out there which boil down to "good thinking." My definition is specific: thinking about thinking with the aim of not getting fooled. In other words, when you specifically analyze your own thinking or other people's thinking for the presence of significant errors, you are doing critical thinking.

This sounds emotive and judgmental, which is totally okay-- but I don't see any reason I should change my opinion, which is that there is nothing to rehabilitate. This event involves consenting adults, experimenting with life. There's no reason for you to conclude that anyone was coerced or trafficked.

I guess you are convinced that women were being exploited and raped at this event, but I fail to see how that conclusion springs from anywhere other than your cynical imagination.

What would you change about it so that you would accept it as a good faith event to help people relate better?

It helps us practice critical thinking. What it doesn’t do is help us practice knowing WHEN to use critical thinking.

Cue video of the helicopter coming to get Clint Eastwood in Firefox!

Come out of retirement for one last job!
