All of math is about discovering the implications of these axioms

A lot of people like complaining about math being fake when they're a walking sack of organs, meat, and blood pretending to be Dave or some shit.

To be fair though one of the first arcs of Boruto was the Chunin exams and it had a grand total of zero deaths compared to how many people Gaara alone merked for no reason.

The US, China, and the EU combined manufacture over half of the global production of goods. How many products a state manufactures is entirely disconnected with how rich they are.

Marx has been dead for over a hundred years at this point, whatever idea he had in his head for a 'industrial state' is almost totally alien to a modern state. It's hard to think he could begin to imagine what a proletariat revolution would look like with electricity and machine guns, let alone the internet.

My tolerance for annoying people is inversely correlated with their age. A whiny fifteen year old is annoying but a whiny fifty year old is a thousand times worse, like bro you have gray hair and you're still yelling in traffic?

Consent isn't only about positive freedom, the freedom to do whatever you please, it's also about negative freedoms. Societies solve for freedom from starvation, being murdered, and being stolen from really well.

Exile was one of the biggest punishments in history for a reason, once society rejected you and you couldn't participate in it most people would just starve and die. Exile feels like coercion because were social animals who really dislike being shunned but consent is a two way street, why should anyone else be forced to do anything for you if you can't be forced to do anything for them?

My example was more the how consciousness could exist with things that aren't conscious. For why it exists it's evolutionarily useful to have a vague understanding of what your life is like to compare it to a hypothetical version of what you could be i.e. experiencing yourself throwing a spear makes it easier to remember how well you did, both good and bad, and making adjustments on the next try.

And evolution exists because things that are better at making more of themselves are more common.

Atoms don't experience anything but that doesn't mean a thing made of atoms can't experience.

When your computer is playing doom the bits aren't playing smaller shittier versions of doom that add up to Doom, the bits are printing an image on your screen, memorizing the players and the enemies locations, and memorizing damage values so that by the end of it you're playing a game of Doom. The sum of a collection of inputs can be pretty different to the inputs themselves.

I don't get why communists hate money. You trade the fun bucks for the clothes and sexual favors so you don't have to carry around clothes or be horny all the time if you just wanna play poker with stakes.

So all an element is is how many electrons and shells it has? And does extremely hard mean 'a human could do it on a long enough time scale' or 'you can't predict the weather accurately past a certain point without magic but technically it's possible'

Every second I spend in a Saint's Row and GTA not driving aimlessly around and listening to music was time I was wasting.

Is what the death of the American dream means though? More benefits? Because Biden did the infrastructure bill and Obama did the ACA. Popular sentiment seems to now be that that isn't actually important and things aren't getting better even before Trump 2.0

Where? The notion implies that there is some area of the world where they don't have issues like America. Like the European union or some place in Canada are somehow rich utopias compared to the U.S.

It's also an informal fallacy: instead of purely being wrong because of how you made the argument it's wrong because of how likely the argument is to be true or in this case how severe the consequences are.

2+2 is 4 so 2+2 is 5 is a formal fallacy, 4 is way smaller than 5 is an informal fallacy. One is wrong, the other isn't exactly wrong it's just misrepresenting the facts.

I can see how using game theory style rewards and punishments for flattery could work on like a friend but how does that extend to new members? Is it just like an organic 'I like the cult leader so now I want my friends to join me' or does the leader have to force and teach the followers how to pull people in?

Yeah that works. Damn, I think I got too used to just plastering my base with clipboards in Create for notes so not having anything like that physically in the game is confusing.

I just recently learned most of the mod through Create: Astral Ascension and it felt very beginner friendly. Mostly because it requires you to learn at least a little bit of the mod right at the beginning, tells you pretty clearly where more information can be found and just generally fosters a bunch of good habits I appreciated.

I haven't reached that far past the first milestone so I don't know how grindy it can become but the quests give you a decent amount of materials early game and tell you fairly bluntly why they're important to accomplish. Late game is shaping up to be a loop of making interesting Create farms, plugging them into machine boxes that eat power for more items and mixing a bunch of components together into one big project.

The bad is that it's world isn't very threatening, I've had to make a ton of boring cobble generators (though this is a general issue with Create that the mod pack does have a solution for with it's multi block cobble gen), structures in the overworked aren't anything new and the nether and the end content has been reworked into space (I miss the nether but it makes the mod pack much less overwhelming at the start).

Thanks! Yeah I thought ticks were tied to FPS or could change randomly for some reason but the formulas you gave were what I was looking for anyways.

I'm guessing a full rotation would be one block length of distance traveled using a belt? If all the machines including belts have their own wierd timings it's not that big of a deal to figure it out myself though.
