How to kill a small animal to shorten its suffering?
I'd rather waste a bullet in the back of the head, gansta style... 🙂

Evidence of Human Common Ancestry
It was an observation, based on the number of folk's that try to use one to bolster their argument, for some reason... 😎 Yes it does, unless it's axiomatic... 😉

Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
Indeed +1 God really gets in the way, sometimes...

The way i think about planets what happens when people sleep and human kind
You seem confused, all machines wear out, so what's your point?

How to kill a small animal to shorten its suffering?
The ethically logical approach, is to do everything you can to make it as unaware and comfortable as possible, before you, the arbiter, decide to kill it.

Can science fix politics (split from Messages to the president...)
In the hope that we can make it better... 🙏 Science isn't trying to fix politics, if anything it's trying to distance itself, lest it influences the results... 😉 This is why science needs philosophy, it's also why the Trump's of this world spend so much effort tracking down and eliminating the intellectual's, and spend money providing the scientist with a nice shiny lab. I'm not singling out the scientist, we all have a price.

Seems to me the question is about kindness, and how that can lead to suffering...

Evidence of Human Common Ancestry
I imagine it would make us lazier, happier to have things understood for us. More somer and fewer savage's.😉

Can science fix politics (split from Messages to the president...)
Science is often just as mired in politics as every other profession. The reason why Trump wins in the minds of some people is the simplicity of his narrative versus the counter-intuitive complexity of the reason he's wrong, it's infuriating to those that can see through his specious BS; and by the time his posse realise their mistake, it'll be too late to change their mind. All we can do is, ride the wave and hope for the best...

'theory of everything'
What makes you think an infinite number of monkey's could be bothered to write like Shakespeare?

Messages to the president...
Nor can I and he's 20 years older than me, and every day both he and I is fewer smart...

Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
Indeed, it's cancel culture writ large...

'theory of everything'
Nope, an algorithm is a strict set of steps towards a goal, rational thinking is understanding when that's just an excuse... 😉

Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
The value of the information is determined by the understander, for instance, when one understands the "bible", then one doesn't need a God; whilst, simultaneously, understanding why other people do need a God. The value of information is determined by the teacher... 😉 Nearly all of my teacher's were roughly humanoid looking...

Exploring the Role of AI in Modern Software Development
It seems like we're in a sort of Heisenberg uncertainty principle with the question (bolded), we have to know where to start the calculation i.e. what is a smart human? Of course not, even the superhero 'Captain hindsight' isn't that powerful...

a question that intrigues me
The thing is, all this happened on the Earth we all share and can observe relative to each other; all those other Earth's may well exist, but we can't perceive them. Hindsight is the only exact science, but we keep trying to use it to be more clairvoyant, which is a mistake however intriguing. 😉

Is it just me?
Or has the traffic to this site significantly diminished since the change?

Messages to the president...
Dear Mr. president??? Hmm, seems a little sycophantic. If you really want to challenge him, ask him what he did last Thursday?

Exploring the Role of AI in Modern Software Development
It's not just any question... 😁

Exploring the Role of AI in Modern Software Development
This is more of a philosophy question, bc ATM AI is demonstrably stupid in terms of intelligence as we recognise it. Will it evolve to be better? Yes Will it evolve to be smarter? Yes, no and maybe. How will we know, if they break the glass ceiling and become a threat? Not before it's too late... 😉

Messages to the president...
Indeed, and neither are his followers, they're also a product of a limited education... And given Musk's Dad, so did he...

"We borrow money from Chinese peasants ..."
Hmm, I wonder if you'd say the same if you were one of them? Perhaps, the only difference is the accent of the story teller... 😉

New knowledge on a public forum
Copy and paste does not an expert make. 😉 Besides you're not reading the room, society isn't ready for that. The current political economic situation (the free market) was created post-war to dig us out of a hole (which it achieved); but the polical pendulum always 'swing by' the solution. People find comfort in whatever situation they find themselves, however squalid the conditionss appears to other's, further up the chain; that's the fundamental problem with getting your idea off the ground, everyone higher in the chain would never swap with anyone below them, and they're affraid that everyone below them 'would litterally kill to swap place's'... Let's hope the historical pinch point coincides meaningfully with the climate pinch point...

Artificial Gravity on the ISS
We could, but microbiology prefers a more comfortable environment... 😉

"We borrow money from Chinese peasants ..."
Indeed, it had me scratching my head, it sound's to me like they're being business savy; much like when Trump claimed he was being smart to avoid tax. 😜
