- Are you AI/bot?
- Wall of text = incomprehensible, would not read/5.
- It’s rarely about how good the devices are, but how much they cost + Apple’s two-faced moral model that makes people oppose/reject it.
The entire showerthought must be in the title
Your question belongs more to Ask Lemmy or No Stupid Questions I think.
In addition: what appeared earlier on this planet? Kids or cartoons?
There are no relevant studies concerning the topic. What might seem like a widespread trend, might as well be merely a local peculiarity.
Oh, I wouldn’t ever suggest that the method does everything its author says it does - the claims of helping in cancer cases and such are wee bit too “optimistic”.
But the question was concerning the possibility to build up cold immunity. And the answer is “yes”. The method I mentioned absolutely will build up cold’s immunity (or resistance, or tolerance if language purism is a factor) in everyone who will attempt it.
There’s no magic hocus-pocus in it. It’s very simple concept used in many “methods” - Buteyko comes to mind, so does Russian Siberia.
I have no idea whom I’m talking to in the 'Net.
Neither have you. Nor anybody else…
I think that in the future the phenomenon of our identity will be understood in wildly different fashion to how we approach it now.
It won’t be pretty by our current standards, I suspect.
Can you give me an example?
Of course, but bear in mind it’s going to be a crude, primitive example.
Imagine me talking to - unknown fact to me - a pedophile over the Internet. For reasons unknown I made him angry. Angry enough to stalk me, invade the privacy of my home and steal my child, just to make me suffer because he felt I did him wrong.
My anonymity protects me against such an occurrence.
Advertisement. Malware. Scams. Abuse of trust. Current and future exploits that I have no knowledge, or understanding of.
No. I don’t enjoy being anonymous, but the problem lies in bodies, organizations, and people abusing the non-anonymity.
It’s like
Do you understand the difference?
Because we do not enjoy the invasion on our privacy.
I disagree with the idea that it’s some sort of natural “killswitch”. Our bodies change, grow, evolve all the time. There are mistakes on the way - for example, I bear scars that are nothing but a quick, dirty and imperfect way for my body to heal from wounds I got. Cancer is pretty much the same, a flaw in design, body following misinterpreted natural directive, nothing more.
But that being said: I expect the ultimate cure of cancer to appear during our lifetimes. I mean, I have at best 15 years of life before me, but I still consider it enough to see such a cure.
Weren’t they right? I mean, the people wildly gesturing at everything around?
I don’t know how far away from such a vision we are, but I know it for the fact, that my great-grandparents, living not that long ago, wouldn’t understood a thing about the Internet. From their perspective, we’re living in SF futuristic era of wonders.
I agree. The technological level of the future will probably provide some ways to quickly, effortlessly and painlessly switch one’s gender to the point it won’t be considered worth mentioning.
“Oh looky, it’s Gabriel, pardon Gabriela - I see you chose to appear as female today. Clever choice! And this dress is amazing!”
And they were right.
wildly gesturing at everything around
Would that be all?
Would that be all?
Hard to say. It depends on what kind of programs/robots we were. It might be that certain percentage of us are our creaters, it might be that we got rid of our creators, it might be that there’s only one creator…
Too many possibilities.
