No they are not. You have all kind of general notions that don't correspond to reality. Lack of real experience is the key problem here. I know people with IQ 140+ who did ordinary teaching jobs, regular people who do regular jobs. In fact if you ask gifted people many of whom at least at...

Yeah, if it generates profit, it will be done even if it is not a great idea. Hence why capitalistic dynamics throw people into dynamics that make less sense in the long run. Like it sure helps to cluster locations, and it was always done, even in medieval times, but today with cars and...

I mean I am sure it could be done. There is plenty mega things we might be able to do in future. I feel like the question is aimed at land that would be as useful as the normal land mass. The thing is we already have lot of land, we just don't use it properly. If you look at US or Russia or...

I felt good today for reasons I cannot understand. Yet again, I could try to feel it, and here I am doing nothing and feeling better.

Hi, https://archive.org/search?query=criminal+psychology&page=5

Oh ok so basically body awareness too.

Wow my soul left the body yesterday, and each time I go to sleep? Consciousness still screwing with people, not sure why. Consciousness is merely function of body in my opinion not part of soul, no different than rest of body is part of soul. I guess the consciousness is passed off as soul...

Soul acts on us, we don't necessarily change soul. I don't act on sun, but the sun gives life to us nonetheless. Whether we are muslim, christian, jews, or barbarians, or german, or fish.

The difference between you and me is so tiny, and superficial, therefore we are not different, is wrong line of reasoning to begin with. I have five fingers and so do you. I have two legs and so do you. I have hair and so do you. I have immune system that reacts to common cold same as you. I...

I think it depends what is your relationship with soul. Intellectually you can believe in soul. I don't subscribe to beliefs of other religions though about soul. I also don't really fantasies about afterlife. I prefer not to know.

Yes, because on internet people can write anything they want including personal attack. Your only job is to evaluate whether that is acceptable to you. That said personal attacks are different from attack ideas. Idea - sky is blue. Personal - I love blue sky Personal attack, people who love...

Yeah, I have no quarrel with this.

Politics and religion where every cognitive fallacy is law.

I find this as the most funniest jab at pop science promotion, also the most passive aggressive one.

Ok well the way you feel about stuff will not change online to be honest. You cannot become mature emotionally by interacting here really. You do that in real life with people you trust. It takes time to override some emotional stuff. That said if you feel attacked personally, and that...

Yeah we do, there will be less people, but its not like people stopped having kids. The decline already happened and we are already living in it. Boomers would have 20 kids. Now people have 1.5 kids. So the result of decline happened for decades now. these data are available. At least in...

Resources are moral concern, but then we have to know how to do it. So ultimately we also have to figure out how. Which will be informed by morals, but actions will be taken by way of knowing.

Wow I aint reading that wall of text. I am just saying if you expect emotional support by talking ideas, but expect people to agree with you or like your ideas, INTPf is not the place. Do not talk politics, or religion or idea topics to connect with people, not unless you expect some degree of...

yeah. What moral concerns? That there will be seven billion people instead of 8 billion? Were there 1200 last humans on Earth Id be concerned. You never do. Thats something to think about.

Science is high resolution reality. But science can ask questions about anything. Drilling down to bits and explaining how it works is hard. That is where science begins with methods of uncovering the truth. However scientific minds that want to know the truth, but also look for it in...

I grew up watching b5 a lot, but I stopped watching it when young, so I remember it a little only. I was at the age where the space ship stuff was more interesting than people talking smack about each other. That said it is a good show. Nuances of characters get appreciated later in life.

Look BR you spend so much time on this forum that you barely can be objective to be honest. I spend one 100th of time and that is already too much for me.

No, you are trying to simplify it. Of course there is consequence. I answered your question, I just did not check your box, because its pointless box to check. There is some outcome of anything that happens in this civilization. Whether we like it or not. And of course some of this outcomes...

Generally whatever your body tells you to do, do it. So if tired rest, if sleepy sleep, if not sleepy don't, Once the fever starts the immune system has a cycle that won't stop until its over. Just don't do anything that does not feel right for you.

OK BR I can find more convincing reasons for why demographic decline is issue and dry statistics are not the issue really. They are issue for pension fund grifters, and tax payer grifters ergo military and politicians. Labor shortage is not a real issue. Its only issue if you want cheap labor...

Its not your on anyones job to make other people have sex and children. That is why we have democracy and not nazi germany. You are being defensive, because you identify with other peoples ideas that are not your own. You have not given it a single thought you just accepted common narrative...

Young people need care, and 18 years to be supported, are we going to stop having kids, because they are free loaders? Half the people dont vote are we going to abolish voting? See I can make up smart questions too. Your questions are jumping to conclusions, that were made for you by someone...

No one will do anything. Because you dont produce children because of old people. Population either grow or decline. Simple. All population grow and then decline. Same as everything in nature. Who are the people that say we have to solve this issue and why?

Yeah, I have heard that. Been following the issue for long time. At least that is what the west says. They had a demographic decline, and they are still here. Simple.

Creating feedback loops between brain and the out side is what we already do. Surgeons know how to remove the scalp and interact with the brain by touching directly the cortical surfaces. Its clear that our neurons can indeed be "hacked". But not in term of control, rather you can create a...

Cults are considered exploitative, vs religions are considered benign. But judging from the stuff that happens in religions its interchangeable, depending how strict the metric for "exploitation" is. My personal definition would be insular and not open to transparency. But then religions are...

What are they doing with Uyghurs? They already did.

Black Rose btw this is not an attack, but let me illustrate..... I have heard this, yet "China" seems to be doing what everyone else is doing. India does brutal things too. Japan does brutal things too. Australia does brutal things too. Russia does brutal things too. Ukraine does brutal...

Must have failed at their job, because I hate current society in many ways. We can complain, because there is plenty to complain about.

Its cheap, but you need to know how to install two HDD on computer. If you already know how to do that its probably easy syncing them. This is the tech term for it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID

Ill wait for the article where it works.

No you can hate society, but be happy. You can like society and be happy. Happy as in you being happy. Society does sometimes impact happiness of individuals, but its not the same thing. I specifically mean happiness to have kids and happiness to be in relationship. You can have kids besides...

Dude you have more DNA common if aboriginal than with anyone in Africa. 99 percent of people outside of Africa are brown whites. Get help. I get brown when I am out in the sun too, and your DNA is not special. Except few tribes in Africa 99, 99 DNA is just like everyone else. Thousands of...

The only reason I would argue government does not have AI is that they are incompetent people as far as I can tell. With exception of things like Bell Labs and Manhattan project and stuff like that, where the government put huge amount of money into manufacturing things. But in these projects...

When people are unhappy they don't have kids.

People make assumptions on this topic of what is secret and so on. Its not hard to keep things secret if people are committed to keep it that way. The term secret is *gasp* its secret. So its not secret if people know about it.

OK. Maybe.

Well yeah.

Well yeah. I like as in 10:22 they show Bush you can clearly see his body language (I am lying and don't believe what I say) and face trying to mask it. Also cool documentary.

Yes. AI is not problem sovling. My computer can solve things for me. My calculator can solve problems for me. Even pen and pencil can solve problems for me. That is not AI. Ai is the part that is controlling the computer. Ergo me or you. We are AI. We solve problems. I did not know...

No they would not if its secret. But theory is not AI. AI is either a machine that solves problems or its not. I have seen machines, but not AI yet. Maybe we ought define what AI is first.

Why would you want to decrease demographic decline? Maybe which should start the rabbits breeding 1.2 program, locust for ever. Lets eat everything, shit everwhere and die in vomit. If that is pinnacle of human intellect then we deserve it.

Cite one person in AI who says AI exists to begin with.

History is not just fact. History is facts + humans. Its the same as reading a book and not understanding the human mind. You can read all the books in the world and not understand them. Same way there are plenty people who can cite history and don't know it.
