As humans we’ve pretty much run our course. We’ve been going thousands of years to make advances in weapons, agriculture, engineering, all to build up to getting amazing as shit at making technology that is faster, better, can do more calculations quicker and ultimately smarter than us. All this is going one way. And it’s hard to argue against it……
I’m not a robot. But the limitations of the things that make us human, seem to far outweigh those that AI already has (and will continue to improve upon at crazy ass rates). We as humans already know that it’s pointless to regret the past because it never comes back, that worrying about the past is useless, that our time…
When you play games like The Sims (or other similar mobile games) you have to get your characters to do a whole bunch of shit, get jobs, make and spend money, sometimes make friends and find partners and have babies and there’s also a bunch of time where your characters sleep and also either have to, or involuntarily, stand or…
If intelligence is the processing of info, and computers can already do it a fuckton quicker than us, we’re fucked. For thousands of years people have communicated and tried to work out the one thing we all have to do (how to live well) and still most of us have no fucking idea. Whereas if you download info into a computer,…
Philosophy and physics are like 2 twins separated and birth and brought up in different families – at the heart of it, they’re fundamentally similar. If you understand physics, you can understand how everything in the world works and interacts with each other. And if you understand philosophy you can understand how everything works in your mind and how everything…
When someone runs because it’s starts raining, it’s usually because they’re thinking one of these things: ‘Aarrrgh. My ______ ‘s going to get ruined.’ or 2. ‘Oh dear. I’m soon going to be uncomfortable.‘ If number two actually makes you stronger and makes for a more tangible, memorable, significant experience, Number one is bullshit because anything that actually matters, ie. anything…
Good weather. Bad weather. Blah blah whatever. How much does the weather run your life? Is it the weather that stops you from doing what you want to do, or you? If the weather controls what you do and don’t do, you’re not the driver of your own life. You’re the passenger in it. If you ask someone what they…
It’s the most challenging and trying times that change us in the most positive ways (if dealt with head on). They make us stronger, and more capable to deal with future shitty things that happen. Greatness can be experienced in the good things, and Growth and improvement come from shit things. So, whatever emotional wall you hit, see if instead of…
All energy that is used up, lost, burned up, or evaporates, gets used in some other natural processes. And so if the universe is a zero-energy universe, where no energy can be created or destroyed, and all the energy that came into it still remains in it that means we are made of parts of the elements that formed the…
Step 1 – Get a pen: Step 2 – Make a dot: Step 3 – Use your eyeball sockets and specifically your eyeball balls to look at the dot: That’s the size of Earth when you look at it from 900 miles away. Everything ever than anyone ever did, or made, or talked about. Every little problem, every financial headache,…
