when it comes to climate change, my personal stance, which is not too dependent on the intricacies of the scientific evidence, is that it's a pure risk management problem. Even if there is, say, 1 out of 100 scientists who suggest we are about to fuck up the whole planet, my policy would be to...

@higs when he writes it seems he is talking about people who react the exact same way you do here. I personally don't have any strong opinions on climate change, because I have not assessed the scientific evidence in detail. I have not read academic publications on the topic and evaluated their...

so.. the statement he made was that poverty doesn't explain criminal and self-destructive behavior, by bringing up the example of African slums. You disputed that conclusion by claiming it is relative wealth that causes it, presumably justifying what goes on in UK suburbs, right? The only way I...

thanks for your opinion lol. elevating the discussion, as usual

https://thebestofafrica.org/poverty-wealth-distribution-and-income-inequality-in-africa/ not that it's a secret that wealth distribution typically tends to be vastly imbalanced in poorer countries.. and also, do you really think "subservient ethics" is more prevalent in UK than developing...

uhm... so what I read in that article is this: so perhaps, if you could take a deep breath, count to 10, and provide a source that elucidates his view on climate change, we could have a discussion going

if he calls again, let him know I'm up for some coke and discussing the anal stage of development

The cause of much contemporary misery in Western countries – criminality, domestic violence, drug addiction, aggressive youths, hooliganism, broken families – is the nihilistic, decadent and/or self-destructive behaviour of people who do not know how to live. Both the smoothing over of this...

what I wanna know is why women like to kiss dogs. It's disgusting, dude. Dogs don't even brush their teeth

Obama added about $7 trillion to US debt – one of the biggest increases as % of GDP in history also not sure if "rampant consumerism and tax" is a uniquely US phenomenon that being said, I should probably not talk too much about US, I live in a different universe over here in scandinavia and...

I would go with the brain-as-a-peacock's-tail theory. check out what this bird does to get laid: same as with ability to create art, to dance, to use language in intricate ways, do mathematics etc – these are ways to demonstrate that you can create order from chaos, which requires a complex...

intpf - a haiku Chile meeting place A menacing post slithers after the monkey

I have no clue what you're talking about

I put AK's post into a haiku generator: Broken day today An only, abscent god is enjoying the mom

@higs "all bachelors are unmarried" is an example of analytic statement, not deductive logic. It's truth is purely dependent on the meaning of its terms. just praticing my Kant game

there is no conceivable situation where the best strategy is to simply ridicule and dismiss people with certain opinions. Yeah, there will be a bunch of uninformed people up for grabs by stupid ideas, but you're not exactly improving the situation by merely joining a club of people with the...

ah, what do we have here – the standard hado saracastic-anti-anti-SJW post

not sure about this one. It contains all the right elements, but ends up being a somewhat uninspired copy of Uppermost (listen to for example "step by step" or "beautiful light"). 5.5/10.

the reason that e.g. vegans are identified as a group, is that they, to varying extent, are engaged in a movement to change other people. If vegans were just a bunch of people who didn't eat animal products and shut up about it, no one would even know they existed. Same goes obviously for SJW...

people misunderstood what i said very badly inductive thinking gone wild

they implemented an AI for handling citizenship applications in Norway. Basically, a bunch of paper pushers in the state are probably gonna be replaced. Some optical-character-recognition algos and some neural nets and boom – you have a thing that can read and handle forms and documents a...

hell yeah dude, hit me up if you want some of that gland action, na mean?

Liked the melodic aspects of it, the mood. That bassdrum is way damn pronounced thogh – feel like someone is punching me in the ears. 6.5/10

how is boning not a mutual act besides, I fingerblasted my neighbor a few weeks back, I know all about serving other people

why do people refer to sex as "sex"? I feel like I'm reading a women's magazine or something. call it.. I dunno, boning, poking, going balls deep, etc

I only believe there are things that shouldn't be. In particular anything that infringes on my freedoms. Hence, a proactive state bureaucrat is the worst thing I can imagine. He should be doing something useful, like putting shoelaces into shoelace holes in a factory somewhere - instead of...

ceo and all management should obviously be ENTJ. as for the players, obviously no INTPs – lest they'll stop in the middle of the match and start thinking about the meaning of life, etc. Probably no ISTPs either, they are terrible with physical activity in my experience.

one can be sure about one thing – when bureaucrats start trying to sculpt the whole sport top-down, you can expect it's gonna go to shit. Like in F1 where they started introducing cost-saving regulations on engines and so on around 2006, but then realized that this results in all the cars just...

that sucks. Have never really watched le mans, but gotta be a big shock that audi leaves the sport. Reminds me a bit of how engine manufacturers like BMW and honda left Formula 1 after the 2008 financial crash. The whole sport went pretty much to shit after that, and I haven't really watched it...

what a lame-ass attempt. Just a run-of-the-mill "I've seen you watching porn"? At least try something creative, dude. and he suposedly went from hacking an email box to actively running software on a remote system – pretty wild jump there

Just read a very good article on this https://liljat.fi/2017/11/humanoid-robot-sophia-sad-hoax-harms-ai-research/

Associate yourself with good people, minimize interaction with toxic people, develop a personality ethic and try to stick to it, develop a habit of positive emotions, minimize intellectual-jerking-off as a comfort zone detached from practical reality (all those fancy words in the OP might be a...

eyy that's the best Glass Animals song! also liked @aiyanah 's song.

I would say it's exceedingly difficult to overwork yourself unless you're either quite old or doing physically/psychologically very straining work. Rest is very overrated.

all parties except Christian Democrats are indeed desperately trying to prevent the anti-immigration party from gettin any influence, which is what caused the chaos we're currently in. The Sweden Democrats are big enough to sort keep their hand on the scales and prevent any coalition from taking...

once again, I think your view of history seems to be that we went from the middle ages straight into the youtube-atheist era. You're missing a 300-year period of development of largely anti-religious, secular values.

I cannot speak for the personal beliefs of politicians, but on paper, there's only one party that has anything to do with religion there, Christian Democrats, who have about 5% of the votes. Other than that it's comprised of a large part leftist-liberals (who obviously hate anything to do with...

so you mean the bible is the reason the law works, or...? What about secular countries like sweden? well we had this thing called the enlightement a couple of centuries ago. That's what our laws and morality are currently based on. This new wave of atheism has had next to zero effect on our...

I voted Lemon but I'm not sure what that means

So basically, we have to instate a religious ruling class which decides for the population what everyone should believe in, regardless of the epistemic status of that belief? Just for the sake of keeping people under control? We had that shit before, in the middle ages. Needless to say, that...

actually enjoyed some aspects of it, despite never listening to this kind of music otherwise. For example the first 20 seconds of the first song and some other aspects of the instrumentals. but the screaming style vocal is way, way out of my comfort zone. 5.5/10.

Everything seems cool and interesting the first few weeks you're doing it. After that it becomes an exercise in self-discipline to keep sticking to it. The thing is – at that age and with that level of experience, you don't have the faintest clue what any subject is really about or what sort of...

what do you mean by subjective interface though. Currency is just a denominator of value. It doesn't need to have value on its own. People have used all kinds of stuff as currency in the past: pebbles, seashells, salt, cigarettes, etc. It's just some stuff which comes in a limited supply and is...

To me it sounds like an awesome plan. Tell this to Elon Musk before he goes bankrupt. Enhanced subjectively? I don't think you can do that with real currency.

I approve of Lagomorph's taste in music. What I am listening to:

I'm gonna dresss up as a youtube influencer
