Arivia posted:Their idea of hell is an AI so smart it time-travels back to ruin the lives of everyone who didn't help make it. It is incredibly loving stupid. No no no. Time travel isn't possible. The AI will make perfect simulations of the people who could have helped it, but didn't, being hellishly tortured. That's not just possible, but inevitable! Oh, and before you say that you don't even care what would happen to your flawless duplicate, read this crank treatise on quantum mechanics to learn why your decision-theory is childish and inconsistent!!

Strudel Man posted:That's just a standard utilitarianism thought experiment. Although I feel like it's usually used as an argument against utilitarianism, not an actual moral guideline. It works, because they are, as a group, an ad absurdum argument against some forms of utilitarianism, like how reducing-suffering.org is inadvertently an argument against veganism and vegetarianism as ethical positions. "Animal suffering is bad, therefore let's trigger mass extinctions and collapse the biosphere to just insects and jellyfish. This might have the additional benefit of preventing humanity from spreading to additional planets."

jivjov posted:It isn't a new trend by any means; but lately there's been a big surge of TERFs who loudly proclaim that they have no gender, gender is a tool of the patriarchy to oppress women, only sex matters, trans people totally deserve respect...but only if they stop invading women's locker rooms etc. So recycling good rhetoric on race into horrific rhetoric on gender. Gross, but clever.

Tiresias2 posted:This is an interesting remark because it sheds light on, at least what I'll call, the relativity of subjectivity. I think Nietzsche once said he could explain any philosopher's philosophy through their neuroses. Well, I have some very misogynistic thoughts some times but then I remind myself that I haven't had a friend that is a woman in a while, and that I usually have these thoughts when I'm alone, and that the information I have acquired in life is perhaps not only not sufficient for a generalization, but based on faulty premises about what is generally good and bad for an individual to do, and so it would hardly be justified of me to systematically create a world-view based on these thoughts. The term is usually actor-observer bias. You're showing some good self-awareness here, but sadly your condition is not the kind you can think your way out of. Are you talking to anyone professionally? quote:Edit: That was very self-centered of me, but I would like to think that you could be relatively dispassionate and objective too, and so could anyone else. Oh, sir is so generous!

It's pretty short and self-explanatory. ETA: Eco was old enough to remember the Mussolini years, so he's not pulling this stuff completely out of his rear end.

I was in Dublin once. Me and a friend of mine. We're walking down the sidewalk, chatting about some inanity, I'm probably laughing at my own jokes as usual, when a guy who was passing us in the other direction stops and says something to me. I mean, like I said, I had been talking, laughing! I hadn't expected someone to suddenly talk to me. And it's not like he was speaking very loudly. But there he stands, looking right at me, waiting expectantly. Hard to read his expression, really. Confused? I definitely didn't here what he said, so I stop and say "Sorry, what was that?" He says it again. I didn't catch it. I mentally play the noises back. I've got nothing. Well, maybe he has a strong accent. I can deal with this. I make an embarrassed face, and say "I'm really sorry, what was that?" He speaks again. Says something different this time. He has my full attention. It's a quiet street. I have no idea what he just said. It's...a language? Probably? Was it words, and not just sounds? I figure it out. He's not really all here. Drugs, mental disability, column a, column b, the point is there's nothing for me to decipher, nothing I can help him with, so I do that non-committal smile of disengagement and say "haha, yeah" and walk on. After we get some distance, my friend finally speaks up. "Holy poo poo, that was crazy." "Yeah, I wonder what was wrong with him. Could you understand anything?" "Are you serious? He was speaking English. He said 'Are you laughing at me?' and 'Are you an Englishman?'" So, like you'd expect from my posting, it turned out I was the one with the mental disability. At least it protected me from getting my rear end kicked.

I'm reminded of the line in The Fountainhead which got the biggest laugh from me:Super-cool Industrial Ubermensch Gail Wynand, Ayn Rand's nearly ideal male character posted:There's so much nonsense about human inconstancy and the transience of all emotions. I've always thought that a feeling which changes never existed in the first place. There are books I liked at the age of sixteen. I still like them.

If anti-trans rhetoric holds no responsibility for anti-trans violence, anti-terf speech can't be responsible for anti-terf violence. Sorry, that's the rules, hope your friend never fully recovers from their injuries.

I think back on Cleese's classic roles in and beyond Monty Python, and nothing especially offensive comes to mind. I guess he saved it for funerals.

Master Twig posted:The problem with cooperative games, is that you have a real competitive player, they can tend to try to dominate the game and dictate what other people do, and get mad if another player makes the "wrong" move. I've seen it happen way too many times. Hell, I used to do it before I developed some self awareness about how much of a jackass I was being. Seems to me that is not necessarily a problem with the game that you've identified.
