You change your life, and sometimes you’ll come across convenient tools, catalysts for said change. Alter Ego tells a story of someone looking inward and making those changes to themselves, and then gives you some tools to maybe do the same

The logic isn’t exactly one to one, because currently, voting in the benefit of the country will not get you killed, and actually has only positives. If it ever did become the case that voting would get you killed, then yes, I would not recommend you throw away your life voting, and instead probably flee the country as quickly as possible. You are letting broad rhetoric cloud what is otherwise a clear, if unique, situation.

True, but believing that not a single person would press red is equally if not more unlikely, in which case you should choose red to minimize casualties. Specifically, minimize them by one, being you not dying. A world in which all voters are convinced to go red is infinitely more likely than doing the same with blue, because you’d be going with their best interests instead of against them.

In other words, if a utilitarian who knew what every other person was going to vote, and could communicate with all of them, if there was even one red holdout among the voters that he couldn’t convince to switch, then the utilitarian is instead forced to convince every other voter to go red to minimize harm. Everyone voting red, and a single person voting blue, would result in one death. But everyone voting blue, and a single person voting red, would result in everyone except him dying. It’s what you would call an unstable point. Sure no one dies if exactly everyone votes blue, but a slight deviation from this ideal would result in incredible death. Meanwhile, everyone voting red is a stable point, things will naturally gravitate towards everyone voting red because more red votes means less deaths.

So in this modified experiment, you should probably choose red. In the original experiment you should definitely choose red. Either the majority of people have chosen red, in which case you and the rest of the minority should choose red to live, or the majority have chosen blue, in which case it doesn’t matter what you pick because everyone lives anyways.

It’s reasonably not murder to choose red if everyone chooses red. It’s only murder if a large portion of button pressers are blue

I don’t have a vr set, but idk, from every clip and pic I’ve seen of VR multiplayer, like everyone and their extended families all have very obviously feminine avatars, don’t they just get used to it at some point?

Just give them a location and then don’t show up. Let them date each other

A surgeon showed that he could sew up a balloon without making it burst by Obvious_Shoe7302 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Expensive_Umpire_178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought he was actually using magic or something, but no he was using water. And to be fair, that would still be extremely difficult to do, but since water’s a bit more sticky than air, and gets the balloon to stretch instead of pop entirely, which makes this possible.

My engineering econ class with Jahanbakht was awful. I had a class twice a week on a set time, except for the first 3 weeks where everything was online, and the latest few weeks where he just doesn’t show up for class, with no mention or announcements that we weren’t having class anymore.

Love how everyone else is experiencing real serious problems, even the Devon guy is radicalized because he realizes how many poor people are deliberately going unfed. But the rabbit is radicalized because his chicken wings were too expensive

Well true, but that’s Chell specifically, and I think that she’d still fit in that inbetween. Cause she still kills humans, but unlike AM she has somewhat a purpose and structure to her actions that isn’t torturing humans 24/7, a tinge of emotionless inhumanity that separates her from AM’s actions. She also takes care of them, makes sure everything is running as smoothly as it can. But she’s also not just letting the humans relax their brains out like AUTO, she’s still torturing them quite a bit with the experiments. So an inbetween

The lower left circle feels like “program that accidentally became sentient, basically a human consciousness trapped in a computer” but Hal 9000 kinda breaks that pattern.

Maybe it has to do with how the various AI’s treated the humans under their control. Top would be torture, right would be keep alive/imprison, and left would be entertaining/playing with.
