We are tricked by our brains
No, you’re not No, there isn’t The universe is under no obligation to make sense to our tiny ape minds, and it will continue operating exactly as it does and always has regardless of your personal inability to comprehend those operations accurately. While your username suggests travel across time, your basic stance here suggests time can stop. As it doesn’t, never has, and never will, your basic stance is absurd.

Producers And Consumers
It’s pretty reductionist and lacks nuance, but generally organisms will fit into both categories depending on context and framing. It also sounds vaguely Marxist.

RIP Daniel Dennett
I’ve enjoyed many of his talks through the years, though it has been a minute. “There’s simply no polite way to tell people they’ve dedicated their lives to an illusion.”

Why is having separate male and female bodies in the human species a good or even a bad thing?
- Why is having separate male and female bodies in the human species a good or even a bad thing?
First, there more than just male and female. Second, it’s neither good or bad. It just is. Sex differentiation began long before humans existed. Perhaps on some other planet in some other galaxy there are no sexes, but on earth there are. Also, don’t conflate cultural norms and nurture teachings with something inherent in X versus Y chromosomes.- The brain is nothing more than an electronic device. So, every electronic device with a lot of wires, swiched on should be conscious too
Electronic devices aren’t plastic, nor effected in the same way by chemistry and experience. There’s a whole lotta wrong in your OP, and essentially nothing correct- Over 95% of this year’s US planned electric capacity is zero-carbon
Also the massive stimulus programs deployed during Covid to ensure recovery more quickly after vaccines were finally developed and released helped quite a bit.- We are tricked by our brains
Fun fact: The universe is under no obligation to make sense to uninformed human minds- OT from Why is the sun moving so fast in this solar eclipse video?
Am I the only one who sees the OP as a backhanded way to spam and drive clicks to a crap video?- Over 95% of this year’s US planned electric capacity is zero-carbon
The inflation reduction act is the single largest investment in addressing climate change ever across all of human history… so far… and dividends are beginning already https://www.epi.org/blog/the-inflation-reduction-act-finally-gave-the-u-s-a-real-climate-change-policy/- We are tricked by our brains
Your claims don’t even rise to the threshold of being wrong. They’re not even wrong. They’re ridiculous.- Political Humor
- Anyone traveling to see the eclipse?
I think the last end of the world was scheduled on a Friday so thankfully expected attire was just business casual that day. There are apparently 2300 cities in North America along the path of totality. This animation shows how many short-term rentals have been booked in those cities through Airbnb and Vrbo in the days leading up to tomorrow. Gouge pricing and unscrupulous ignoring of valid contracts are sure to be rampant. Thankfully the lady renting us our space did not (in fact, she left a great 11x16 poster about totality in her state on the table for us as a gift to take home and potentially frame)- Anyone traveling to see the eclipse?
Me too. Was overcast when I drove my very young children to see the 2017 one.- Anyone traveling to see the eclipse?
Lucky enough to live in the path of totality? Traveling? Bringing special gear? Cool telescopes or lenses? Any pinhole colanders or manually cut out shapes for crescent shaped shadows? Convinced it’ll be cloudy, overcast, and raining? 🤣 ☀️ 🌙- RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
Listen, Gyno. You e been suspended at least once already here for arguing in bad faith and this isn’t kindergarten where you win extra points by intentionally using dismissive names.- RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)

Those who wield the power and who shape the info in our feeds get to decide. It’s a modern take on history being written by the victors, where today victory is measured by likes, shares, views, and impressions. ”A lie gets half way around the world before the truth even gets its pants on.”- shirts with armpit smell that does not want to leave even after several wash.
So did exchemist who included the link again in his quote- RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
I agree. The political right and maga-class has been getting beyond ridiculous in ostracizing people who refuse to tow the party line and repeat the lies, casting out anyone deemed to be "others." It demands a level of purity nobody can ever maintain, and it's pretty sad that their views can't hold up to even remedial scrutiny.- shirts with armpit smell that does not want to leave even after several wash.
Is just spam for the link in OP- Artificial Consciousness Is Impossible
This is your very first post on this forum. How have you "already stated" anything? Sockpuppet alert. Yep. Hi again, AIkonoklazt. At least you're consistent in your bad faith argumentation.- The 'Rapist's Bible'
