[quote="Michael McMahon" post_id=628070 time=1678110653 user_id=23769] Fairness and legal precedents are of utmost importance. Sentencing must be consistent for people convicted for similar crimes in order to be as democratic as possible. There’s too much deviation. Manslaughter unnecessar...

Anyone owning two residences while someone anyone else needs a place to live is a crime against humanity. Letting a complete stranger determine whether you have the right to have a place to live based on their own criteria for their own interests is a crime against humanity. Everything wrong with us...

[quote=Dontaskme post_id=674651 time=1697915244 user_id=12017] Intersubjectivity means: Existing between conscious minds; shared by more than one conscious mind. Can something be subjectively objective? Yes, all objective facts are subjective, and one strategy to allow for this is to use the word 'i...

Also, it's not intelligent to limit your learning chatbots to people who are willing to create an account. If its learning it needs access to the broadest set of people, not a minute subset.

When you cease to believe the government has legitimate authority, everything changes.

[quote=nemos post_id=674880 time=1698042100 user_id=24568] "Why this particular universe?" The question involves the claim that other universes exist. Is it proven or just an assumption? [/quote] This one because there is no other. Everything that can happen does happen, and that's one inf...

There's still no reason...

[quote=Atla post_id=674868 time=1698035405 user_id=15497] I think I'll have to rephrase the question: Greatest Philosopher of All Time, we wish to hear what you have to say on the Ultimate Philosophical Question.

[quote=rabirk post_id=623501 time=1675978470 user_id=23492] 1) What does it mean to be good? (Yes, that question is an oldie but goodie); 2) Are people by nature good or bad?; 3) Can goodness be taught?; 4) Can goodness be legislated?; 5) How should "badness" be punished? Are prisons the a...
