A loom that learned to weave itself.
They were so bad, but not nearly as bad as the sequels.
I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of the beer store, playing a game on my phone, procrastinating on my mission to buy beer.
I had locked the door from pure paranoia (I’m just a paranoid guy).
A guy on the sidewalk stepped onto the parking lot and walked toward my car. I thought little of it, but I noticed. He got closer and closer, and then he grabbed the handle and tried to open the driver-side door.
It was locked so he casually kept walking like everything was normal.
It was broad daylight. I still have no idea what he would have done if the door had been unlocked. But I was sitting and in the more vulnerable position.
Reaper is awesome.
Some forms of Gnosticism assert this.
Gnosticism is a broad group of early Christian cults that are influenced by earlier religions, so it’s not a monolith and I don’t want to paint them with the same brush, but:
Some of them include the idea that our souls (our consciousness) are from a realm or being of light, but the material/physical world was constructed by the demiurge (yahweh of the old testament) and has trapped us here.
According to this idea, Jesus is actually from that divinity beyond Yahweh, and is not the son of God. So Jesus’ sacrifice was not just the crucifixion, but embodiment itself. He brings us knowledge (gnosis, thus gnosticism) of our true divinity and through that knowledge, salvation from this material prison.
There’s an amazing book about all this, called, The Gnostic Religion, by the philosopher Hans Jonas.
Now I just have to find a startup… any suggestions?
Yeah I use a Mac at work and it’s actually amazing. Lots of stuff runs the same as in linux.
I’ll put aside the question of a soul and say, the brain is explicitly something our consciousness makes up (based on data so consistent we justifiably call it “reality”).
Materialism is how we see the world. Our consciousness gives a better clue to what the world really is. My consciousness is what it’s like to actually be this part of the world.
And all the opinions are normal and popular.
Welcome to the trillionth normal opinion which isn’t even remotely unpopular.
What vaporizer are you using?
Human instances still run on the same underlying physics. No further RAM is needed.
Why would we run out of RAM? Is there new matter being created? It’s not like we’re storing anything. We will keep using the same resources.
We replaced your oven with a subwoofer.
My eyes hurt. But suddenly I want cherry swirl ice cream.
Yeah go straight to the source.
Now that’s an unpopular opinion. 10/10 for understanding the assignment!
That’s not an opinion. It’s a reductionist description, a mere list of facts.
That’s not your actual opinion. You’re just upset about bad drivers.
is that Let’s GeT Married ?
