Someone else controls your infra no matter what. Say you’ve got a data center, you run all your applications on site. Great, until your ISP or electrical or DNS provider or registrar fuck you.

I think the idea that some people are subhuman has been abused a lot, most notably by the Nazis, and society is better off without that kind of thinking regardless of the context. We need to accept that these are people, just like us. We need to figure out what made them that way so we can stop making the same mistakes.

I don’t believe they are the same species as me. They have devolved to the point where their brains lack empathy, a distinctly human trait.

The subhuman is a biological creature, crafted by nature, which has hands, legs, eyes and mouth, even the semblance of a brain. Nevertheless, this terrible creature is only a partial human being. Although it has features similar to a human, the subhuman is lower on the spiritual and psychological scale than any animal. Inside this being is a cruel chaos of wild, unrestrained passions, nameless desire for destruction, the most primitive desires, the most naked meanness

The condensed water is pure, yes
“Pure” is not a good thing when talking about water. Your body relies on minerals dissolved in dr- nking water. Also, water is a power solvent and if it is t already saturated with minerals it will absorb calcium right out of your bones

Considering the time period, axing the console may have actually been a good decision

Is it though? Time and again it’s been shown that having a very wide basic genetic options is the healthiest for a species. Evolution favors adaptability.
Depends what you select for. You could breed for intelligence, strength, etc and still maintain a diverse gene pool. Look what we’re done with dogs, ffs. It’s a scientifically valid practice. It doesn’t matter though because there’s no ethical way to do it.
Now if you’re talking about weeding out and genetic issues, diseases, and known problems, yes. We do that today.
Through gene therapy, yes. Eugenics implies selective breeding.
- Comment on New ATHEIST community. 5 weeks ago:
That really depends on how they follow them. For example, eugenics is scientifically sound. It’s morally depraved in practice, but the scientific method doesn’t account for ethics.
