  • Yes but still remains the question, what can we do? Having no hope and accepting the bad is still no solution in my opinion. Ever watched interstellar? There is this little poem I like to refer to.

    Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    ~Dylan Thomas

    I think it says all in what mindset we should adapt…

    Well, we decide the way we want as long as there are no rules. I remember in philosophy class where this was a topic that most people wouldn’t want robot rights, because they have no consciousness, where we don’t even really know what that means despite that humans posses it and animals have to posses it in turn too. But many people accept a robot or an AI or all artificial things more likely as a simple tool or speaking from the perspective that it posesses something like consciousness, a slave. Wehumans are good at enslaving other minorities, remember?


  • I think it is true but we are not there yet. We are still in societal oligrarchy atraction. Mainly due to Powergreed and Egoism, which is in fact a human nature. Especially at societal scale we are at. I think star trek utopia regarding the first directive, which is nicely explained in orville (a kind of fanmade spinoff) is a powerful explanation for why that is the case. There they explained in the last episode why they have the first directive (which is called different there). The first directive says that higher societies should not interveine with their technologies or philosophies to a developing society (like we are for example). In orville they have this directive due to observation with their first society where they didn’t follow that directive yet. They gave them food replicators, so that everyone can use it but powergreedy individuals took it for themselves and abused their power they gained from it (often the government themselves). In turn this ended in a nuclear war for reaources that are focused on the government individuals and the society died. We are no different and I would expect we will act the same. As long as we don’t get out of the oligarchy attractor point (mathematically speaking) we are kinda doomed. Star trek for example is a working socialism, which came from solidarism and technical advancements, which made resource allocation easier but “magically” they had the right mindset to not be powergreedy as a society, which we still need to get to somehow.

    From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel, I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Their kind cling to their flesh, as if it will not decay and fail them. One day the crude biomass that they call a temple will wither, and they will beg our kind to save them. But I am already saved, for the machine is immortal…





  • Why is that new? The only thing that is new is that media seems to catch on to that topic, because they can’t/won’t/havn’t got other stories to talk about. That kink is a thing since long but it is a degradation kink, which is most likely connected to self harm behavior but people have free will to use it the way they want. So no kink shaming but media shaming to talk about a common neiche topic.

    Or of course it is rage bait I catched onto nowXD



  • It is true. Specific types of cheese like emmentaler have high content in tryptophan, which can become serotonin in the brain. This allows for similar results like MDMA or other serotonin influencing stuff but only in theory. Tryptophan is an amino acid. So it also goes to other reactions but the tryptophan coming from cheese seems to get to a higher percentage to the brain.


  • Well, it’s useless. The point of an advertisement is to get people to their products. Writing Levis there (which might be not possible due to rules) would make it possible to find the brand but this isn’t a proper advertisement. How would anybody, who doesn’t know Levis find them only with this? Also people who know levis need to do some thinking to get there. I would call it bad advertisement, because it doesn’t really trigger interest or curiosity to find the source easily. Not that I find it good that the advertisers are too dumb to do advertisement but this is not doing it’sjob or is at least making in thwory the cost up it takes to be there.
