Anyone who unironically uses the word "praxis" should rethink their whole life.
a society with strong non-government entities providing alternatives is almost always better poised for liberty (and the preservation of liberty) than one without
Brownshirts: "yeah, what that guy said!"
Drugs, in this case.
That's not at all what "disenfranchised" means lol
My point was that needing more people is the root issue. So while I didn't explicitly make your point, I do agree.
When multiple fields of science all agree, yeah they know what they're talking about.
I just don't get these anti-science types...
Within that finite set, one combination is the complete text of Hamlet.
Exactly. That's the point.
This article fundamentally misunderstands the entire thought experiment by using finite monkeys. With infinite monkeys, we'd have the script as quickly as it is physically possible to type the script.
Doesn't matter in the real infinite monkeys thought experiment. The chance of an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters producing Shakespeare is 100%. That's how infinity works.
It's really not that long, if we can't get monkeys to write Shakespeare.
The probability of lots of things is zero. The probability of a monkey typing a Chinese character on an English keyboard is zero.
Similar idea: there are an infinite amount of numbers between zero and one, but none of those numbers is two.
That's not bold, we've known how long the universe will last for decades now.
One of them is mathematically guaranteed to get the job done in time.
In fact - and here's the trippy part - an infinite number of them is mathematically guaranteed to get the job done in time.
Hypothesis: every science journalist should be placed in front of a bitch-slapping machine for the rest of their career. Every time they think about writing an article, they get bitch slapped. This will greatly improve the quality of science journalism.
The whole point of the thought experiment is that you have infinite monkeys.
Not this year lol, tech has been hit hard.
Which, I mean, no one has any sympathy, those guys have been coddled and overpaid for a decade.
But yeah, this year, lots of tech layoffs.
In your case, it's because you often pretend to be dumber than you actually are, so I'm just playing along.
So you pulled the lever. End of thought experiment.
Yay! You made it!
Doesn't matter. All YOU can do is pull the lever, or not. You can't change who's on the track. You can't remove the trolley. You can't untie the people or lift up the tracks. In this sense, the trolley problem is almost a 1-for-1 representation of voting (in a swing state, at least). You can pull the lever, or not. Those are your options.
When we have a critical mass of people, we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way.
Bonus question: how much would a company have to pay you for you to give 100% effort at work?

I'm not hip to the lingo
Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?
Inspired by this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/19408108
You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin's body, you are just you. You're magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn't know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.
Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They'll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.
Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can't just build/edit an app.
For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/
It's not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can't connect to the internet so there's no way anyone can get my health info.
Make Athens Great Again!
Not like "I went to school with one" but have had an actual friendship?
I've had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.
Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.
There's a whole genre of sci-fi that has a major premise as "humanity is the most powerful/dominating/victorious species in the cosmos...and that's not a compliment". I always understood that to be a facet of HFY, but per this sub's description HFY should be "uplifting".
Like, a story where aliens try to invade Earth and we kick their asses is definitely HFY. But what if we then enslave the survivors of the alien horde? What if we reverse engineer their tech, go to their homeworld, and nuke their planet? What if we tailor a virus to their genome and purge the galaxy of their entire species, and their little alien babies die screaming in their little alien cribs?
Is that HFY?
A lot of people worldbuild when they daydream and have the bones of a story kicking around in their brain, but have to pay the bills and raise the kids etc so they never flesh it out and write it down. What's your story's premise? Fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, mystery, western, whatever genre.
>The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi paradox.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter
>The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now."

Personally I think it's photosynthesis. Life itself developed and spread but photosynthesis started an inevitable chain of ever-greater and more-efficient life. I think a random chain of mutations that turns carbon-based proto-life into something that can harvest light energy is wildly unlikely, even after the wildly unlikely event of life beginning in the first place.
I have no data to back that up, just a guess.
(it's not a solar system because Sol is our star, specifically; we're the only Solar system)
>TRAPPIST-1 is a cool red dwarf star[c] with seven known exoplanets.
>Up to four of the planets – designated d, e, f and g – orbit at distances where temperatures are suitable for the existence of liquid water, and are thus potentially hospitable to life.
The red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 has an estimated lifespan of pretty much the entire lifespan of the universe. If any of those planets are habitable, and humanity goes there, we could live there until the end of the whole universe, no worrying about our sun going out in about 5 billion years. It could be our forever home.
The planets in the TRAPPIST system are extremely close to each other, so the night sky on any of them would be awe-inspiring, with multiple bodies bigger than our moon rising and setting every night.
