I find this post hilarious. You're trying to juggle an idea that is in itself paradoxical and illogical. The idea that all forms of discrimination are bad. Hear me out. All discrimination is bad including cultural discrimination. Howev

See this garbage comment is the rudest comment of all. Insulting beyond anything I've ever seen. You are literally backstabbing me, spreading lies and telling people to ignore me? Please stop.

It doesn't have to be a rich guy. But some form of centralized rich power. Like a corporation for example. But even complex structures like this involve a cluster of individuals who own the corporation or have seats of power within the

It was the intention. You are lying to my face. The format: "News Flash: Statement of something obvious." is very rude. Implying I don't know the obvious thing. I hold no grudges but your previous statement is a total lie. Do

In English science exclusively refers to science as Wikipedia defined it. Formal science is a rarely used term. In fact much of the (English) academic world doesn't consider logic, math, or computer science to be actual sciences. The t

Doesn't matter. It's true and what you said how it's "always the case" is categorically false. The falsehood of your comment is the only thing that is relevant here.

epgui doesn't know what he's talking about. Science in it's purest form can only falsify things. Absolutely nothing can be proven correct. There is no "pure" science. That's garbage. What's going on is epg

It is always the case. Another fallacy that can only be the result of your flawed intuition. All human capability has limits. You have limited strength and limited intelligence. There is no amount of intelligence or physical strength in a s

There are proven instances where systems such as this can remain stable. Slavery is one. There are tons and tons of other systems throughout human history where massive inequality remains stable. In fact inequality is the bedrock of civiliz

What is programming not related to? Seriously a huge portion of posts here are just about programming analogies.

Free will lies at the particle level. If atoms are defined by strict physical rules that are deterministic and have no free will then if our brains are made of of the same atoms does that mean our brains are also defined by the same strict

>Given that the universe is eventually inconsistent, I don't think this has been observed to be true yet. At least not true within a framework of very specific theoretical rules. Otherwise all our science and logic is useless.

Lying to oneself and exposing the complete truth are two alternative strategies towards survival. That is why some people have brains that lie to them less then others, while others have brains that lie more. You will find different degrees

The iphone was at one point in time the same innovation as this and at that time there were plenty of people like you calling it an "obvious" failure. At the time people were talking about how hard and clumsy it was to type on and

Just make a whole new thing. Html and css are technologies with decades of technical debt. Like a remake of a movie, we are long overdue.

The churn is the result of the fact that we don't understand what is optimal. We know how to optimize for things like the shortest distance between two points but we don't understand how to optimize Software Design or even GUI. Th

Why not just use the layman terms. Science and logic. The terms derived from philosophy are the most snobbish in my opinion. Additionally Logic and science formalize these concepts, Epistemology on the other hand has a lot of qualitative mu

There is no word. The concept exists because of the word. Typically words exist to describe a concept, but in this case it's the other way around. The concept would not have otherwise existed if it were not because of the word. Therefo

It's an issue with english vocabulary. Nobody fully agrees on a definition of sentience. Don't get tricked into thinking it's profound. You simply have a loaded word that's ambiguously defined. You have a collection of a

Another thing to consider is that "sentience" is a loaded word. You're all just arguing over vocabulary and the definition of a word. Simply put, sentience is just a combination of thousands attributes such that if something

Entropy is a consequence of probability. Which means that it can actually decrease without an energy input. There's just a very low probability of it happening but it CAN happen. It's a misnomer to call those things laws of thermo
