Re: Are you the only conscious being in this universe?
If we created leaf, we could observe and test that it's a living leaf. How would we ever do this with a consciousness? Really depends on how you define consciousness- if it means awareness of self and surroundings, yeah that's a real low bar. I would agree with both the definition and the implicati...

Re: Are you the only conscious being in this universe?
I don't think there's a meaningful qualitative difference between myself and a lobster- it's just a matter of complexity. I think humans have been on the dunning kruger slippy slide since the beginning fawning over ourselves with species chauvinism. This is not to say that our brain isn't literally ...

Re: Run-up to WW3
Wow, I still stand by my initial assessment- this will drag on until Trump is elected and repeals sanctions. A fitting end for the Pax Americana. Putin couldn't humiliate such a sweet rube like Trump, his absolute wet dream of an american president, it had to happen on Biden's watch.

Re: Covid news and views
Do you know what was really weird, the site of the injection on my left arm started hurting while I was sick. :ph34r: Well, it's generally a blood vessel/inflammatory disease, so it'd make sense that the injection site had more sensitization to the virus, right? IDK. My in-law had it trigger her mi...

Re: What did you learn about in History?
AP American History was much better attended than AP World History in my high school. We're talking about a school with 95% white kids in the 90s. AP American History was pretty good, we learned down to the level of stuff like the XYZ affair and Tammany Hall. We kinda had to know a lot of facts and ...

Re: Covid news and views
Wait, what? You tested negative on a PCR? I tested negative on a PCR too and I never found out what happened. Why did he say you'd test negative? She said that they only got reliable info on mild cases when they tested at intervals, so like every day for a week in some cases. The false negative rat...
