Sources?

Actual source though

like a peer reviewed study or paper with research

OK so im gonna randomly pick 3 of those and read them

Would it matter

Youre still experiencing life right

i have a reason

What if the universe is about 10 thousand years from heat death so we create a simulation that can run 1 billion times faster than reality meaning time would progress 1 billion times slower in the simulation giving you more time to survive in the last years of the universe

I think if that were the case we would know

but i dont think thats the case

We could be some aliens computer experiment

or its like in The Thirteenth Floor

A simulation within a simulation

If you could transfer your consciousness into a computer would you do it.

If No, why not

if yes what would you do?

I would. I would give my self an artificial body to move around space and explore the universe

fly by foreign stars and meet distant aliens

I think its possible

replicate the human mind virtually

our minds are a series of neurons firing in certain patterns

we can

they recently developed a higher resolution MRI

meaning its possible to get a more detailed image of the brain

but by only taking the image you're not transferring your consciousness but simply copying it.

I dont think the copying a mind and creating an universe are equal comparisons

I at least hope we can find a way to stop cells from dying

or prolonging brain cells and function for longer

Thats the essence of hope

its not hope if its certain

there has to be a bit of uncertainty

Doubt it

lol yeah I recently head that in a Sam Harris podcast

if a bombs were easy to make wed all be dead

heard*

I think there is an ideology race going

Which is why technology in the wrong hands is deadly

science doesn't drop bombs on people.

“To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell.
And so it is with science.” - Richard Feynman

We have enough resources to hold 50 billion people

for thousands of years

we have unlimited power

oops i can curse lmao

cant*

So the problem isnt overpopulation. The problem is management

Over population only arises when there isnt enough to go around.

Reason im here is I live the initiative Flat-earthers have.

however, misguided

Convince me and ill try to convince you

that is how science is done.

do you believe in the scientific process

there nothing common in common sense

so if you end up in Australia will you reconsider?

Its not impossible to get permission

You dont need a dangerous expedition to prove a flat earth

Lmao alot more expensive

So youll cross the poles?

Then what

Ooh

why not just fly from Chile to Australia

Cessna aircraft can make the flight

Its pretty creepy

imagine seeing that out your window

at night

I once saw my own reflection and thought it was someone outside my window. I almost died

Ill choose to vaccinate my kids

" a well regulated"

who regulates

by default?

Dont throw stones people

I thought this page was for discussions and that you believed in the Scientific Method @she powerland

@Derek Nelson Do you think the weapons industry is properly regulated?

Whats your ideal country @she powerland

Whats truly free

until some one steals all your stuff and murders. @Derek Nelson lol

Im for people having guns. I enjoy shooting them. But i think theres a problem with people gunning down each other.

Do we just shrug and say, "thats the way it is"

I always thought that a gun should be regulated like a vehicle

DMV for guns

I tried to buy one but couldnt because of Medical Marijuana card i had gotten when i was 18

Whats a pro guns approach to preventing school shootings?

Yeah we have on campus police officers.

one day at my college we had a code black or something where they believed a gunman on campus. Most terrifying moment in my life. Wish I had a gun lmao

@jas im in between. I dont think everyone should have them. Lots of unstable people running around.

"well regulated" comes to mind

an AR was used at Las vegas wasnt it

@Derek Nelson So how do we stop mass shootings?

Why is the United States the leading death capital of the 1st world countries by a long shot?

@Abe Lover I agree

What about ones at theatres and malls? @Derek Nelson

Or gangland shootings?

@jas No, just joined a couple of hours ago

@Abe Lover So whats the US doing wrong.

The test for buying a gun in CA is a damn joke

@Derek Nelson id like to see sources rather than captioned pics of people with guns

the test is a JOKE

Its a piece of paper lmao
