  • 32% were in favor of this regime. 37% were indifferent. Only 31% voted against.

    So closer to 70% of people.

    I wrote a 573-page physics book, but I suspect it's actually a Game Engine specification. Here is why.

  • Why does the number of pages matter?

    Please publish in a peer-review context so you can get some recognition/feedback/evaluation of your research.

  • To be fair, whereas 30% of the population voted against this horrible outcome, the other 70% were either actively in favor or passively indifferent to it.

  • True, even the most up-to-date academic research on the subject cannot withstand the “science” of your gut feelings.

  • Regarding consciousness, I was a fetus, too. I know what it’s like. Namely: nothing.

    And insects feel pain, too.

  • It was silly to bring up Philosophy of Mind when there are intellectual powerhouses like you around here equipped with gut feelings.

  • There’s a really cool position in Philosophy of Mind called Hylemorphic Dualism, which actually preserves (makes sense of) our intuitions about “souls” without breaking physics.

  • Did you just compare actual living sapient people with thoughts and feelings to an unconscious, unborn fetus?

    Maybe you have a lot in common with a fetus. I don’t.

  • Abstract reasoning is the most “useful” intellectual ability you can have. However, the most important would be the normative insights we usually call “wisdom” (which isn’t taught but learned — for instance by reading literature and living life with curiosity). Critical thinking and other philosophy goes without saying.

  • You know people who use the unit circle on a regular basis? How about conic sections or the quadratic formula? These topics take months if not years to learn in school. We do so not because they’re useful in any practical sense for most people, but because they instill intuitions about how the world works.

  • Hence all the citations these idiots provided to the philosophical literature, right? No?

    You’re grotesque not because you’re stupid, but because you have no interest in not being stupid.

  • No, the incredible confidence with which you issue these comical speculations.

    Everything from your misspelling of Kant’s name to your hallucinatory misrepresentation of naturalism just gives you the air of an anti-vaxxer doing his own research.

    Please stop.
