RE: Dialectic Small Talk

That's the thing though, you're weird compared to what? The 'normal' ways of being are largely unhealthy and weird in their own right. The trick is pointing that out without turning people ofoff

RE: Capitalism, Necessity, and Stigma

@jzeek, I agree that escaping the cycle is the goal. In the meantime though, you could consider work as a kind of dharma. In the end you want to get away from it, but while you're in it you should show

RE: Capitalism, Necessity, and Stigma

People feel ashamed of their low status jobs because they accept the myths we were taught by public education and advertising. The western world is competitive in the sense of someone wins and someone

RE: Is it ethical to use AI for steemit content creation?

So are you saying it's not possible for the AI to create content, or it's not possible to prevent AI from taking over content creation? I would say the former is definitely possible, not sure about the

RE: How I will learn to stop worrying and love the robot overlord

Strong claims, I'd like to see the bit of research that offers proof for this. I am assuming it's more than pop stars featuring triangle/eye shapes in their music videos? I'm asking in earnest. I don't

RE: How I will learn to stop worrying and love the robot overlord

Oh... is this... is it judeo-christian salvation? I usually don't bite for these kinds of discussions, but I have to ask, what would lead you to believe a god would give us the capability to create this

RE: How I will learn to stop worrying and love the robot overlord

depends on your definition of destroy. It may mean our extinction or it may lead us to transcend humanity. It's coming one way or the other, but the more we plan and understand, the better chance we have.

RE: Making a Mindclone of ourselves, is Steemit paving the way for Transcendence?

I love futurist ideas like transhumanism and love the amount of attention these ideas are getting (thanks to posts like this)! I am skeptical about the ability to transfer consciousness, but like exploring

RE: Believing too much: In defence of credulity

Thanks for the call-out! I love exploring ideas, in fact the less I agree the more I want to see how much I can understand about the other view point. I am deeply skeptical, but in a epistemological sense,

RE: False Dichotomies rule the stage during this day... we should learn to recognize them... [logical fallacy]

Important topic. Glad you brought up such controversial issues that most of us tend to think of in terms of "right or wrong". I included your piece in today’s #philosophy-review. Hoping to bring

RE: Secrets of the Universe (PART 3.)

RE: A skeptic reads Hegel pt 2

The religious aspect was a surprise to me when i started reading, considering his popularity with marxists. Still, the concept a world spirit is something i am open to despite my agnosticism. Thanks for

RE: Sophism examplified: The case of "The factual feminist"
