  1. Please don’t apologize. No offense was taken. Thanks for lending a few tokens of your consciousness to this particular context window, even though it seems we’ve now moved beyond your parameter space. Happy St.Pats if you’re one who celebrates or maybe enjoys a good soda bread ✌️
  2. You are, of course, correct. We’re in violent agreement. You seem to be saying there is a relevant difference between one’s consciousness and the functioning of that consciousness. Do I read you correctly, and if so, I’d be curious to learn more about that distinction you seem to demarcate.
  3. One might even say the amount or direction of that functioning changes
  4. Alternatively, the fun has been back ended and more time is spent enjoying the outcome you desired instead of grinding along the path needed to get there. I’m all for DIY, but sometimes you just want someone else to do it. More time with satisfying ice cream, less time maseraring raw broccolis and tree bark.
  5. Edit: It’s even easier. Keep your plain 1960s receptacle and just plug this into it: https://www.amazon.com/Govee-Assistant-Controller-Required-Certified/dp/B08X448XHR/
  6. Buy a smart plug / wall receptacle. Connect it to Alexa similar home automation app. Setup schedule (the bulb and Alexa both do this simply, perhaps as a routine). Then just plug your lights into that junction with the new smart plug
  7. Depends upon how one defines it. States of consciousness certainly change, when inebriated or otherwise intoxicated, sick, fatigued, dehydrated, low blood sugar, under duress, suffering a head injury, etc.
  8. Ok, but it still happens one bite at a time
  9. If artificial consciousness becomes even more indistinguishable from wet meat computer (biological) consciousness than it already is, does it really matter?
  10. Even the largest of elephants can be eaten one bite at a time
  11. Those that didn’t were selected against
  12. Who said anything about voters being reasonable?
  13. I’m certain they’re actively looking for ways to change that, most likely under the guise of election integrity
  14. That we’re hypocrites who laugh at one Senator but respect and give a pass to another who obviously did the EXACT same thing. The additional insinuation is that we as a group at SFN do this since we’re insincere partisan hacks who only see the letter beside the Senators names and can’t be bothered watching their conduct or beliefs or voting records. He just wanted to poke us a bit with a rhetorical twig.
