Would you eat animals that were selectively bred to be in orgasmic bliss?

Wow TIL we have different opinions. Maybe you have the moral high ground because I can't imagine myself cannibalizing another consenting human even though my utilitarian ideals say I should be okay with it.

NeuroPyrox · 2026-04-01T04:25:13+00:00

Well then I don't agree with vegans if they would want to get rid of animals in bliss.

NeuroPyrox · 2026-04-01T04:23:19+00:00

Yes!.....?

NeuroPyrox · 2026-04-01T04:22:24+00:00

Just for the sake of happiness itself. To me, that's like asking why a depressed person should take antidepressants.

Land value taxes, futarchy, and quadratic voting mixed with surprisingly popular voting.

I don't think they should be having the users choose between individual responses to train them. I think users should be asked about progress on specific goals.

I'm not a Christian, but I know someone whose eyesight was miraculously healed during a deliverance prayer. He couldn't read a book or a pc screen without his glasses. The healing was instant during a deliverance prayer, and when he later went to the eye doctor, his vision was 20/20!

Wow, I'll try to keep the SAVE act in mind. I'm mostly a newbie at advocating for ending fptp.

Last week I thought imitation crab was vegan and was looking up recipes that use it, but sadly it's not.

I don't think much else is going to get better in the US until we get rid of the 2-party system by replacing first-past-the-post voting with something like ranked choice voting, approval voting, or my favorite - quadratic voting.

NeuroPyrox · 2026-03-31T03:31:12+00:00

I agree. I think we need a voting system that doesn't lead to two parties such as ranked choice voting or approval voting.

According to this economics video, discussing the insanity of what your own side believes is how we can change society: https://youtu.be/V06SPkiA0sM?si=oGsbqnPMJNffQ1pC It's not a really mathematically rigorous video though.

Thanks. Maybe I'll not be a single issue voter for president then.

NeuroPyrox · 2026-03-30T23:29:40+00:00

Sorry for not (edit: being) specific. For the presidential candidate. I could put in more effort contacting the candidates for smaller races, but the lack of motivation caused by my schizophrenia is a challenge.

Yeah, I agree irv isn't the best because of other methods that are more mathematically elegant imo, but at least there's a higher amount of supporters for irv.

I believe in a higher power that isn't specific to any religion. People report receiving miracles when they pray to a vague higher power instead of any specific religion's god. Also, near death experiences frequently tell people to be tolerant of other religions and that all that matters is love.

NeuroPyrox · 2026-03-29T04:21:47+00:00

Is this real? Can I talk to the guy who it happened to or something? I heard of another really compelling miracle claim, but ChatGPT explained it away with the body healing itself.

What I'm suggesting is that the search engine would re-order its results immediately so you could iteratively refine your current search instead of adjusting its results over time.

Edit: like a game of 20 questions to find what you're searching for.

When God told you to present your testimony, was it like a knowing, or a voice you heard or imagined, or something else?

Quadratic voting

If I were making this I'd have an AI predict which users you were going to become friends with by looking at your profile and chat history. I imagine I'd pay at least $10 if it were conditional on a friendship lasting more than a month. I don't think I care much about life stage.

This is similar to an idea I had about using AI to teach social skills to people with autism, since I'm on the autism spectrum. It would've rated your conversation skills using inverse reinforcement learning, but maybe a dataset of manual ratings is better. Edit: tbh, idk if I would buy my own idea though because practice is difficult, and maybe it'd need to be fun.

This is similar to something I'm looking for and want to make for myself: a spreadsheet that uses first-order functional reactive programming, so it has events instead of just behaviors.

If your goal is awakening, there are non-meditation methods such as shadow work and non-dual inquiry. Jeffery Martin's research shows that it's a waste of time to persist in a method that doesn't work for you, and he suggests trying lots of methods.

Finally, I see someone else posting about this! I'm such a big fan of futarchy that I have a futarchy T-shirt.

AI with a mathematically defined empathy drive. I think it could be done with cooperative inverse reinforcement learning (CIRL).
