- Comment on Is it weird to sometimes wonder wether everything you know is wrong? 13 hours ago:
As a trans person, I have various mental illnesses. None of them is ‘being trans’, bit it’s likely some of them are related, particularly gender dysphoria. In regards to your actual question, I’m so glad you’re evaluating your beliefs! Everyone should deconstruct and know why they believe the things that they do - and if there’s no good reason, to stop believing them - regularly. It’s the sign of a curious and humble mind.

That’s really cool though! Especially the bamboo one
- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 5 days ago:
Hasn’t failed yet (yes I know that’s the survivorship bias fallacy)

We already have it, they’re called nuclear bombs, and MAD.
- Comment on how do i become a Scientologist? 5 days ago:
It’s easy enough to become one, as it is any cult member, if you want to. Just approach a member of the cult, ask to join, and give them your life savings. But why would you want to?
- Comment on what are your thoughts on Bidirectional brain-computer interfaces ? 5 days ago:
It would be so cool to use one that I’d written every bit of code to myself!
- Comment on Researchers unveil LegoGPT, an AI model that designs physically stable Lego structures from text prompts and currently supports eight standard brick types 5 days ago:
AGI has always had a same definition: general intelligence, when an AI can do anything a human brain could.

How long until AGI and we don’t need separate models for every single thing?

Are you saying Steve isn’t a videogame hero?

Saturday and Sunday are both S though

Maybe ‘straight’ would work better, if the answer is supposed to be bi? ‘Not gay’ includes bi.
- Comment on Did you know? 6 days ago:
Anecdotal evidence is so strong!
There’s definitely no way you could be making a generalised statement from a single incident… /s

Tata instead of mama or papa? But also, what about parent’s siblings, or sibling’s children?

What was the question?

Here you go! 💀
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Do you remember anything about what their opinion was? It might help to narrow it down.
- Comment on Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations 1 week ago:
It’s not as simple as specifically t levels, but you’ve got the idea. Splitting leagues by physical ability rather than gender or sex, as they do in fighting with heavyweights, featherweights, etc
- Comment on Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations 1 week ago:
I would leave it up to sports experts to measure it, which I am not one. It’s still a good idea, even if I don’t have the expertise to work out the details. I can see from other comments though that you are either a troll or very stupid, intentionally or unintentionally misunderstanding what we say to you. So this comment is not to you, it’s to all the lurkers and readers of comments that might otherwise be convinced by your arguments without a counterpoint.
- Comment on Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations 1 week ago:
Did you understand my suggestion? There would be different teams, split by approximate physical ability.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I think most birth doctors know how to help a trans man give birth.
- Comment on Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations 1 week ago:
What if we don’t split sports by gender or sex, but instead by physical ability? Those with birthdays towards the end of the school year also have a biological advantage.
- Comment on Digital security and encryption in Movies and TV Shows are in a superposition of being unbreakable and weak, depending on plot convienience. 1 week ago:

- Comment on Assuming the world is a simulation 1 week ago:
There are multiple simulation hypotheses, both are possible, as are others.
- Comment on Assuming the world is a simulation 1 week ago:
I prefer to think we’re simply the hallucinations of a possible brain, with no way to distinguish every possible brain that could exist from ‘real’ brains that exist in reality.
- Comment on "A watched pot never boils" is actually advice for keeping your pot from boiling. Because a soup boiled is a soup spoiled. 1 week ago:
Like ‘You can’t eat your cake and have it, too’ became a less sensible version.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No, only rich men have. That doesn’t mean others can’t, but it would be unprecedented.
- Comment on Does humanism lead to tolerance paradox? 2 weeks ago:
I suppose it’s a matter of how you go about it. You can not tolerate someone who is intolerant of a specific group of people by either offering understanding and support, explaining how hard it is to change your beliefs and that you’ll help them to be a better person, or you can punch them.
The first option is harder, and feels less satisfying - especially if they’ve hurt people you care about - but it is the solution that has the potential to turn intolerance into tolerance, rather than just making them firmer in their beliefs and hate you more.
Also, tolerance is not inherently good and intolerance is not inherently bad. For example, I am intolerant of people keeping slaves - and you would have to twist the meaning of intolerance to make owning a slave intolerant, rather than just bad - and I don’t think that is a bad thing to be intolerant of.
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 2 weeks ago:
Food (or a way of getting it), same for water and medicine. Some form of shelter is good, but not the utmost priority, and a simply tree or something to sleep under can be good enough. I wouldn’t immediately go for guns, as there are usually nonviolent solutions to conflict and bringing in a gun only raises the stakes and makes it more likely for people to get hurt.
The knowledge you know in you mind has the potential to be just as valuable, if not more so, as physical items you have. Knowledge on how to catch food, and build shelter, can be more useful that simply owning some cans and a basement.
