squabble

The average age in the US is 26. Maybe your perspective is limited?

My understanding of the pro life view is that if someone chooses to put sperm in there, they are agreeing to give up some bodily autonomy and carry the child to birth.

What if "I" woke up in someone else's body? I'm sure there are movies with this premise, where "someone" wakes up in someone else's body, but they have the memories from their previous body.

But if memories are just physically encoded in the brain, I don't think this scenario makes sense even as a thought experiment.

When "I" wake up in the other person's body, I would have all their memories and none of my previous memories. So I wouldn't even know.

That is an interesting thought.

It might depend on how you define "person". When I look around, I see distinct human bodies. When I wake up, I'm in the same body as when I went to sleep, so in that sense I'm the same person.

I think what I was getting at is that it may be impossible to tell from the outside if something is conscious or not. If I can't even prove to myself that another person is conscious, I might have a hard time proving that a computer is conscious.

Maybe I'm the only one who is real, and everyone else are just robots. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to know for sure.

Will an AI ever be able to make correct moral decisions? Or is that something only a human can do?

Ukraine should have kept their nukes or joined Nato or Russia.

It would also be interesting to see what has been cut from episodes which are (partially?) available.

They have censored a lot of his stuff.

Text messaging on cell phones worked fine until Apple got involved. Now when I send a message to a relative, their response goes to my Macbook.
