- Comment on You wish you WERE never born, actually. Subjunctive mood. 4 days ago:
Most people (at least in the West and Latin America, from my experience) actually have it easy enough that suicide would never actually be an option. Their brains are just overreacting. Knowing that (that you actually love life too much and aren’t free willed, courageous and certain about your suicidal ideation to do anything real about it), just catch yourself (“ah, I’m just being silly”) and go about your day. Some people are in situations that make suicide a very appealing option, don’t get me wrong, but 99.9999% of folks aren’t and never will be. Don’t worry, you’ll die eventually! 🤣
- Comment on When a man says anything bad about women online or criticize them based on his experience, Comments: 4 days ago:
Half of the people online are women (and they’re not all mature, sensible grandmas but also Karens and silly teens) and the West as a whole has an allergy to personal responsibility… add those two things and you understand why some female spaces are simply toxic and unfit for any deep, personal discussion that could end in disagreements. It’s really no crime (and women aren’t out there raping and murdering!) but you have to remember this so you’re not shocked/displeased.
- Comment on "Party in the USA" and "Pink Pony Club" are opposite views on America: "Yay, the US is really all the same!" vs. "Yay, there are real cultural differences within the US!" 1 week ago:
Equally as shallow, just different in their flavour of shallowness? 🤔
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 week ago:
It’s probably true. They’re at least not as brainwashed and irreparably fucked in the head as many Redditors, since they turned that site into thinly-veiled Stormfront (I guess Anglo-Saxon/Western restless rage was brewing there but Trump made it all look okay?) and they seem to be okay with it. 🤷
- Comment on It would be so funny if China colonizes Mars, then the Martian Colonists declare independence, and Mars become a new bastion of Freedom and Prosperity. 1 week ago:
What a take, lol. China is “not free” but the West has either hick Gestapo or German/British police officers arresting grandmas and beating up brown people to their hearts’ content… These Chinese Martians wouldn’t just randomly become restless, confused, unstable Westerners, lol. 🤷

With people like these in power I feel like the rest of the world won’t have to suffer America for that much longer, lol.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Everything the West knows is “enjoyment” and the pleasures of this world, lol. So I say f that, stop focusing on hedonism and focus on personal responsibility and leaving a positive mark on this world. 👍

My cat is infinitely smarter and more conscious than “AI”. 😅
- Comment on YSK that Boris Johnson was one of the most corrupt Prime Minister in British history. He was obsessed about money 2 weeks ago:
Americans take everything to the extreme, but BJ is repulsive, selfish, corrupt and immoral enough to hate. Trump is just the ugly but logical conclusion of American culture. 😔
- Comment on Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it. 2 weeks ago:
Because it simply isn’t, it isn’t aware of anything because such algorithm, if it exist, hasn’t been created yet! It doesn’t “know” anything because the it we’re talking about is probabilistic code fed the internet and filtered through the awareness of actual human beings who update the code. If this were a movie, you’d know it too if you saw the POV of the LLM and the guy trying to trick you, making sure the text is human whenever it went too off the rails… but that’s already the reality we live in and it’s easily checked! You’re thinking of an actual AI, which perhaps could exist one day, but God knows. There is research that indicates consciousness to be a quantum process, and philosophically and mathematically it’s just non-computational (check Roger Penrose!), so we might still be a bit away from recreating consciousness. 🤷

If I can’t meet it and could only interact with it through a device, then I could be fooled, of course.

A probabilistic “word calculator” is not an intelligent, conscious agent? Oh noes! 🙄😅

Hehe I didn’t mean it as “rethink your thoughts” but “rebuild your entire thinking process”. 😅

Neither do I, that’s why I call him big J, the man, and not “one of the deities of Roman Catholicism”. 😅

They think attacking the symptoms is attacking the cause…
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
You don’t need any labels to agree with the fundamental truths and moral teachings of big J. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear (the subvocalization inherent in reading, because we’re around 2000 years too late to hear him preach, lol), the Sermon of the Mount just makes sense, for instance.
Idk what this person is doing besides memeing for our collective amusement, but if they’re for real they need to rethink the way they think before they start any applied philosophical pursuits. 😅

When it comes to fighting the plebs, they’re one party. The alternate power by necessity but it’ll stay within one or another group. And stop being silly and Russophobic, lol, I’m some random brown man online. Don’t you think I’d love to feel like I’m wrong about this? 😔

- Comment on Some of my failed showerthoughts 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think the 3rd one follows, and isn’t the 4th one a thing everywhere? ACAB is a very popular slogan and sentiment! 5: if usury is a sin and reap what you did not sow is immoral, then yes, it follows that the whole market is sinful and immoral. When it comes to the 6th one, I’d say that companies cannot or shouldn’t really be “punished” but any decision maker in the company certainly can and should be if he’s a corrupt enemy of humanity etc etc. I don’t know anything about the other points, but Chinese cuisine is my second favourite and Romance of the Three Kingdoms slaps!
- Comment on I've heard New Yorkers are devastated 4 weeks ago:
For the reds, Mamdani is all the redscare, islamophobe and racist things they’ve been told to hate. For the blues, he’s some sort of saviour and proof that democracy in America can actually work as intended, and isn’t just something between entertainment and PR. You need a protagonist and an antagonist to build a narrative, after all. But the system never worked in your favour and nobody in power has any morals or virtue (else they’d just get taken out, lol, you think the CIA is above that?). And the population either doesn’t care or doesn’t notice because they themselves are iffy, their cultural baggage came with everything but belief in objective morality and virtuous duty to the rest of humanity. The “all that matters is the bag and my pleasure, death, rape and pillaging is acceptable if I get what I want” culture will never breed respectable people in enough quantities, if they happen to exist there is by accident, and none will reach a position of power.
They tried dark skin with Obama but they can’t do that again, then they tried white female but she was an obvious see you next Tuesday, so they tried pushing AOC cause she’s a bit more personable and attractive while being brown but she’s not that popular either so now they’re going with brown “Muslim” man, that’s all.

- Comment on Bad people and bullies usually have justified reasons for why they are doing bad things, so instead of blaming them, maybe sympathize with them. 5 weeks ago:
Eh… I understand but I don’t condone it nor should they. What ever happened to free will? Everyone will just be X without any capacity for self reflection and change? That might be some other species, but certainly not humanity. It’s their moral duty to get their shit together to the best of their abilities, basically.
