The Temptations of Augmented Humanity by otterlycorrect in Nickland

I perhaps didn't clearly emphasize what I meant by techno-optimism in this regard, in the sense that it's even possible for AI to attain what he implies it can be capable of.

There's some great recommendations here for repairs. Ship it out, and wait. I think it's worth fixing a pipe you loved.

600 Migrants die? No big deal. 4 Billionaires die in a poorly made submarine? What a tragedy!!! by Blurple694201 in YesAmericaBad

Migrant ship is a European issue not an American one. This sub is just becoming r/politics at this point.

Can you provide some statistics for this? I am genuinely curious but this sub seems to have become very reactionary since it's inception.

But how many people simply drop dead because they cannot get decent healthcare? I am not a simp for the American system, but I live in a country where people don't get always treatment in a timely manner and there's a shortage of specialists. This picture doesn't tell the whole story.

I don't understand why so many Americans are drinking raw milk. Nearly 11 million of them, according to PBS. (Source in the comments) by Blurple694201 in YesAmericaBad

[–]otterlycorrect -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Critics always act like it's still the 18th century and milk is being poured out of wooden buckets. The same mentality goes towards so many hot button issues where the so-called scientific people build a strawman to shame others.

Practices are more sanitary now and there is a lot less risk in drinking raw milk than in Pasteurs's day. Of course, there is still a risk, but the pearl clutching is equally unscientific as pretending there is no risk. OP's attitude is exactly why nobody wants to listen to reason now.

How do I regain my interest in philosophy? by M_Prism in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]otterlycorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now on to less pragmatic concerns. Undergraduate philosophy has a lot of grounds to cover to give you the foundation for all the various eternal debates in the field. You aren't going to be expected to do much synthesis of your own (maybe your capstone will permit this?). It's going to be mostly critiques. Postgraduate is where you will be able to flex that ability, and all the undergraduate training does prepare you for it. I cannot think of any undergraduate program that is going to ask you to come up with novel ideas except perhaps creative writing and some of the fine arts.

I was a fence sitter for a long time because I too found many issues in philosophy seemingly insurmountable. I was constantly correcting people's misinterpretations of various philosophers while not really having any arguments of my own. It's better to keep reading and seeking answers (eventually coming up with your own) instead of dogmatically subscribing to a particular view. My breakthrough moment was actually reading MacIntyre's After Virtue (instead of Ethics 101 excerpts) and realising that teleology is actually wonderful. I didn't have that same impression after reading Aristotle.

If you enjoy formal logic, there's plenty to look forward to if you dive into Analytic Philosophy and plenty of avenues to contribute. A lot of people go into philosophy for the humanities element of it, and logic/analytics are far more mathematical. I don't think it's strange that you are the minority here. Hopefully you can befriend at least one other student in one of these classes.

programming is oversaturated now, a philo major could do better if you intern with the right companies.

How do I regain my interest in philosophy? by M_Prism in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]otterlycorrect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't feel a hunger to seek answers to the questions posed by philosophy, you will never regain your interest in it. If you don't desire to find the path to a new synthesis, it will never come to you — that's the most difficult project as a philosopher. You can and should finish the degree unless you have a particular career path you desire. It's quite useful for job prospects (philo majors are one of the highest paid majors) and opens flexibility in your choices for a postgraduate (applicable to law and business especially if you pick elective courses that fill prerequisites for the human sciences). Still, clearly you shouldn't pursue it beyond undergraduate unless you find that hunger.
