- Comment on If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse. 9 hours ago:
Awesome. These days I had this thought about what if after we die we experience everything we did to other people out of their perspective. But this is much better.

I am pretty sure you can only get enlightened as a human being, so being reborn as something else definitely won’t help.

I can recommend you this book which reminds me of this idea.

I was asking myself this as there were several construction sites in my area with cranes appearing and disappearing all the time until I did catch them!
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 1 week ago:
Wait there are new games coming out still? I thought everyone was just working on their pile of shame.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 1 week ago:
But that’s my point. There is access to healthy food and there are no food deserts because people care about food. Of course there is still crappy food.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 1 week ago:
I would say this holds true for the USA considering all this fast “food” they eat. A culture that loves food doesn’t do this.

Wait, shouldn’t she sue her parents instead?
- Comment on That's interesting 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I don’t like this argument. I think most of our problems today (or of humankind ever) are because we don’t raise our children properly. I would even say this is the (only) solution to prevent wars.

Is this the Saul who became Paul? So he didn’t become good he just changed his name and defined what is good?
- Comment on Outer Wilds drawing I made 3 weeks ago:
I understand you. The DLC is scary af but not really horror. There is nothing more malign there than the anglerfish i the base game and as you may have noticed this creature chasing you doesn’t even make you die.

- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 4 weeks ago:
No, having kids now I am sometimes super tired only being able to function for the daily activities without much planning and thinking about others. This made me realize this state (or even worse) is probably normal for a lot of people.

Now I am wondering about the reason Kashoggi was killed. Maybe he found out about all these connections.

Holy shit. Trump, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

So in conclusion, it’s not AI that’s the problem it’s the legal system?

Try watching an Indian movie. They just randomly use English words in nearly every sentence.

- Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago. 2 months ago:
I mean it’s still the internet and we always knew it’s impossible to really delete something from the Internet. There could be someone somewhere who archives all of reddit with all the edits, just because they can.

This is also a common philosophical argument to not eat meat. How we mistreat and kill animals negatively affect the humans who do it.

Know thyself.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 2 months ago:
Going to eat as a first date is bad anyways. Should do something where you are a not forced to sit in front of each other for a fixed amount of time. Why not go for a walk in a park, take a coffee or other things that are more “open”.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 months ago:
Interesting categories, but I don’t find myself in any of them: We don’t know if there is a god therefore I neither believe in its existence nor in its non-existence because it doesn’t matter anyway. If god(s) exist they either don’t affect human lives or they do it without letting us know how and why. In both cases there is no reasons to change anything in my life.
I think this view is called apathetic or pragmatic agnosticism.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 months ago:
I don’t know but there are probably explanations. One that I could imagine is that there really is only one consciousness or soul that splits itself up in as many parts as it wants to experience the universe and itself.
You could ask questions like that about the belief that there is no reincarnation or soul as well. Where does consciousness come from? What is it? How can electrochemical reactions be the equivalent of tasting a pizza?
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 months ago:
Sounds rather arrogant to me to think there is a default position for something like that.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 months ago:
I am rather saying it is nothing we can prove or disprove and both views ar equally legit. It just seems to us one view is more legit because of our cultural background.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 months ago:
Same as with God? I don’t think so. Don’t you think there are things that cannot be proven or disproven? My point is the default position depends on the cultural background.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 months ago:
That’s exactly my point. What’s the concrete data against reincarnation would someone from a buddhist culture ask (probably even when they aren’t religious). I am just saying what we accept as default and for what we demand evidence depends on the cultural background.
I might have formulated it exxagerated. But believing in “YOLO” is as evidence based as believing in reincarnation.
Similar as atheism is a belief as well: believing that there is no god. How do they know? It seems my point of view is more agnostic than most here.
