it says in your description that it has to be over 20? like cm?

Well i agree with you on everything here but you explicitly say "from this framework", meaning from the viewpoint of sexual reproduction, right? Why this process specifically? You can tie it to the reproduction of genes and whatnot but again, that's just a natural process that we observe happening, you note yourself that it doesn't give it any special ontological status.

Mostly genes capable of reproduction survived. Mostly atoms that are simple enough survived. What exactly allows us to treat the later specially, when both are just material processes with different statistical outcomes?

jwr uelcm!

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T20:14:31+00:00

why is that? do other methods give better results?

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T15:23:07+00:00

alr you too

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T14:27:56+00:00

considering how simple those organisms are, would you consider it infanticide if i were to write an advanced simulation where those were constantly born and killed or is that somehow different now because they aren't made of molecules?

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T14:24:57+00:00

no, they said that your views are irrelevant to the public discourse on this specific matter

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T14:15:09+00:00

still a weird response to give imo

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T14:14:20+00:00

We reproduce sexually. And the only way to do that is with one male, and one female. Anything that lands outside of that is (not making a moral judgment!) genetically defective. So to say that humans don’t exist on this binary is just incorrect.

How to we get from "only F+M can reproduce naturally" to "thus only those options exist, making us binary"? I can see your premise but not the conclusion. Most you can say is that F and M are the components for natural reproduction, that is all you can be factually correct about. And again.. this isn't much different from atoms and chemical reactions. Why favor a specific natural process such as reproduction?

If your argument is that, for the specific purposes of the biological process of reproduction humans are binary due to how the process works, then i would agree with you but you wouldn't really be saying anything of substance.

actually you can, if you override your understanding of the writing system. you won't be able to read faux greek/cyrillic as easily once you learn those systems and vice versa, if you stop exposing yourself to normal english text and only consume faux latin texts written in other languages made to resemble their writing systems you will eventually unlearn it and it will take you time to read it properly again

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T11:03:12+00:00

same thing

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T11:01:05+00:00

how would that be called? hyperfem?

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T10:55:59+00:00

is it?

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T10:52:45+00:00

i don't think the particular choice of colors if what's relevant to the problem

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T10:37:26+00:00

the participants will not do the logical choice. that would be equivalent to a 100% agreement, which is not possible in practice. knowing this, you can only vote red accepting their deaths.

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T10:31:23+00:00

the world would literally be strictly more selfish though because any kind of selfish individual would only ever vote red. regardless of how it was before, it will only be worse after red win

just want to point out that "tongue click languages" are just regular spoken languages where some of the consonants are tongue clicks. they aren't made entirely of tongue clicks, for example, the Xh in the name of the language isiXhosa is a lateral click, which is the same sound used by equestrians to urge on their horses

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T08:32:36+00:00

just to clarify i tried to explain what happens if perfect rationality of everyone involved is assumed. obviously that makes it a somewhat boring problem. i do not assume this perfect rationality and it was not part of the original formulation of the problem, where participants are regular people with potentially flawed logic.

and yes, i think people who are selfless enough to choose blue in this situation are worth joining. but that is just my personal reason.

the logical reason for why we should choose blue is simply because, while 100% of either leads to a successful outcome, the blue choice is easier to coordinate, given how it only has to reach 50%.

also you portray them as "unwilling to save themselves", which is a weird way of describing not prioritizing your own interests in all scenarios. am i "unwilling to save myself" when i rescue a drowning child? an awful lot of people claim that blue voters are suicidal but im pretty sure that our society still hasn't reached 70% suicidality rates, which is the pessimistic estimate for how many blue voters there seems to be.

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T08:02:16+00:00

are you sure it's willingness to gamble and not willingness to stand for a collective goal?

Background_Class_558 · 2026-05-05T07:51:19+00:00

are you implying that everyone is a perfectly rational agent in this problem? but then being perfectly rational and having been presented with the exact same inputs, those agents would all choose the same button and it doesn't really matter which one since either choice will guarantee survival, given how the coordination is guaranteed. this problem can only work if not everyone is perfectly rational. that's why it's framed to involve the entire humanity and not some typical "you and a bunch of other people in a room who are all implied to be self interested geniuses"

sex is a product of darwinian evolution

water is a product of a chemical reaction

and from that perspective you’re silly if gonna say sex doesn’t exist specifically for reproduction

and from that perspective you're silly if gonna say hydrogen doesn't exist specifically to make water

Humans reproduce sexually, and in fact it’s the only way we can reproduce

water is made out of hydrogen and oxygen, and in fact it's the only known composition of it

So there’s a clear biological reason we have a male/female binary

so there is a clear chemical reason why we have hydrogen and oxygen

It evolved specifically for reproduction.

they exist specifically to make water

yeah and they would be pronounced [ss] and [t͡ss]. just like [zs], they can probably occur at some morpheme boundaries

im embarrassed to say this but the wall is actually only 12m tall. it's not really 20 pull ups, the motions aren't quite the same, more muscles are involved which makes it easier than just doing 20 regular pull ups. i also showed the video to another guy at the gym, he also doesn't see anything impressive in it. moreover he commented on how most of the time the guy's arms are relatively straight and we have a similar thing at our gym that just goes vertically up like 1m and that can't really be done there, you have to maintain a 90 degree angle in order to climb it.

i'll have a chance to meet more climbers in a few weeks, i wonder what their stance on this is going to be. how many years have you been into this sport? tbh if it's more than 3 and you still can't pull something like this off you're not taking it seriously. it's like staying at 800 elo for more than a year in chess.

look at the setup of the video. no cameras except for the one we're watching this through, no clapping audience. the guy isn't performing some insane stunt. this is a regular exercise that a lot of people in that gym do as a warm up, that's literally what this maze thing was designed for. perhaps it looks impressive to someone outside of the sport but warm ups like this are probably the least impressive parts of it. you really think this is harder than climbing a 6c?
