p1t1o 3,120 Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) So I recently realised that there is no such thing as bird milk and that birds dont have nipples. I am objectively aware that this is not necessarily surprising, especially if you know even the smallest amount about birds, but for some reason the realisation came upon me suddenly and its a weird concept to hold in my head. You've probably never thought about "bird milk" before, but is that because you are consciously aware that it cant exist, or merely because you've never thought about it until now?

NSEP 7,091 Posted May 4, 2018 This is a false statement. Does AI have consciousness? Like, Mario-playing AI, not super advanced robots. Moon landing Hoax conspiracies are good, because otherwise people wouldn't be talking about the Apollo Project anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our universe might be taking part in a chemical reaction right now. Maybe we are being emmited as part of an alpha-particle along with several other complete universes making up the other parts.

If something similar happened in the real world, obviously there would be other solutions, but in a hypothetical world where there are only those two options, which one would be the 'right' one? Its easy to re-phrase a question to make one option the only logical answer by making the *only* other option worse, anyone can do that. Would you rather see your daughter murdered or both your wife and daughter murdered, which is the "right" choice? If you restrain the question so severely yes, you can force people to say awful things. In reality, its not like there is *always* another option, it would be silly to assume such an absolute. I imagine there have been times in the world, over the years, where people have had to make such decisions, but people are generally highly motivated to look very hard for other options so luckily, it doesnt come up very often. But if you have to force an answer, sure, genociding a million is not as bad as genociding ten million, in such simple terms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
