2·20 hours agoI also recognize that it is an idealistic dream.
So? That doesn’t make it impossible, it just makes it something worth working toward. Star Trek characters have the luxury of having their history written for them, but we have to get there the hard way.

Wow you just keep coming with these bad takes huh?

3·23 hours agoIt’s not about whether or not the creation of a superhuman is possible or right. It’s about the fact that humanity cannot, at this time, be trusted to do that in a way that wouldn’t result in conditions worse than Star Trek’s Eugenics Wars.

91·1 day agoPeople act like we would immediately create a second class of people like Khan if we allowed more direct intervention but this is simply not true.
Have you been living under a rock? The world is literally being burned up by a handful of people who think they’re more special than everyone else and nobody else deserves to live. Don’t be ridiculous.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•If Arabs make you feel unsafe call 9/11 immediately - Google
11·1 day agoIt was a joke, friendo.
It always is when confronted, I’m sure.
Also I think plenty of people like me choose an instance before they know anything about the ecosystem.
Understandable. It’s what happens after that point that matters.
Nobody enforces any ideology on me.
I didn’t say they did. In fact I was specific about it being a choice you made.
I’m not really into communism but it doesn’t seem to be an issue, and I don’t mind that other people are.
That’s not the problem with the .ml community. The problem is they support dictatorship and spread genocide denial propaganda to discredit opposition to said dictatorships. They’re as communist as a republican politician is heterosexual.

11·1 day agoUnlike one’s race, one may choose their lemmy instance. You chose the one that specifically favors and is named after a specific worldview. Your argument is lame and trivializes actual racism.

52·1 day agoA mouse can’t tell us what works"
And neither can a disembodied miniature organ? What a weird headline.

science@lemmy.world•Sweeteners shown to slow growth of important gut bacteria in lab testsEnglish
3·2 days agoYou know, you’re right! The actual study tested dozens of bacterial strains and different sweeteners, and the article cherry picked one tiny fact to vagueify into clickbait. I’ll edit my comment to reflect this.

8·2 days agoNot really, no. That’s kinda the whole point.

10·2 days agoNo, it’s good logic for dismissing objections to personal security and reasonable precautions. Which abusers are constantly complaining about not only women but minorities doing. Black panthers walk the streets with legal firearms, fascist jackboots descend upon them to turn it into a problem. Women want to carry mace in their purse or have single use unisex bathrooms with lockable doors, some asshole man complains about how little faith women have in him.
Don’t be racist, don’t be sexist, don’t play shocked pikachu when oppressed demographics don’t give the oppressing demographic the benefit of the doubt while they’re still under oppressive conditions.
