quantity over quantity: destroying the entire world and every living thing except one dinky boat because some angels raped human women.
Quality over quantity?
when god cursed the serpent for telling the truth. (adam and eve didn’t die… and the issue really was that god didn’t want them to be “like him.” Also if the story is to believed, god set them up anyway.)
Considering that consciousness and intelligence arise out of complexity… it should be “possible.”
But we’re not really anywhere near that reality yet. These dumb ass ai are just really good at glazing their users while speaking confidently so everyone buys what they say.
I’m sure there are, but my understanding is that consciousness arises out of complexity (specifically of the brain,)
Consciousness is just an awareness of one’s self, as well as the environment they find themselves in. It’s not difficult to imagine why such awareness would impart an evolutionary advantage; and help individuals of a species being more successful.
Further, we see a range of consciousness, like sea sponges budding at the same time, in response to environmental conditions is indicator of some awareness, however basic.
A lot of things are across a wide spectrum of that, and we can generally place animals roughly along that spectrum by considering their complexity of their brain.
So I personally find that it’s psychedelics that are responsible, since may if the things we find high up in consciousness are things that would not have had access to them.
if hitler had decided to invade the middle east instead of Russian- like his generals wanted to do, but he was more concerned about his beef with Stalin than strategy; we would have had a very different outcome to the war. (at the very least, far more protracted.)
The reason the generals wanted to invade the middle east was because they were all using WW1-era cast offs and had almost negligible military. They beleived they could have- to use the modern perjorative- Roflstomped the middle eastern powers and achieved the same ostensible goal: access to crude oil.
Fortunately, Hitler was a fucking insane nutjob. And so is trump.
magnificent work.
Also, ZOOP needs to be brought into common use. it really does.
It’s how they hunt. A quick sudden thrust to catch their prey off guard.
It’s hidden in the fluff.
“Hey babe can you help me out? I got a little Zoop problem.”
Holding hands leads to hugging.
Hugging leads to kissing.
Kissing leads to making out
MAKING OUT LEADS TO THE DaRk SiDe!
In seriousness, though, they went from the top of that tower in the Imperial base to a random beach on the ground. it was just a quick cut, but the tower and the base are both freaking huge, and I doubt the imperials were all just, you know, totally ignoring them. Lets say 30 minutes to get to the beach.
Now, remember wen Jyn explains the plan? they take one hurdle at a time. they solve the immediate problem and the next and the next until either they’re dead or the job is done?
Job ain’t done until you’re safe.
Not after they shot through it.
I mean, I repressed that. Thank you very much.
Wait was the original movie Rogue One? From when they were making out while Scariff was being blown up?
All I got to say is that if you have time to find a beach and make out, you probably have time to find a shuttle and get off the whole exploding-planet-thing.
(And then you have even more time to make out!)
Software, firmware, and hardware.
Imagine struggling with a problem only for some youngling to figure it out.
This is, to be fair, most billionaires.
Assholes the lot of them.
Sometimes it’s more explicit.
So… what you’re saying is some fan fiction of Aphrodite is totally cool as long as it was written by some Percy old Greek dude?
Loads of mammals will do that.
Bears, for example.
Hell. Some seals just leave their kids on the ice.
Possums are so smooth brained their kids fall off and mum just keeps the bus rolling. Tasmanian devils, too.
And hippos just forget their kiddos are even there and trample them.
And that’s not even mentioning the crazy shit humans get up to
It’s always weird how for these copes to be true, god has to not understand the thing he made.
Another pretty damning example of that? God didn’t understand female anatomy.
Specifically that 60% of women do not bleed the first they have sex. Yet one of his laws say that women who say they are virgins on their wedding night and do not bleed… are to be stoned.
