The world's elites have factored in global warming already. It's a cost they are happy to shift onto their descendants.

I fondly remember that time I got the flu shot in my childhood and never had to get a flu shot again.

Thank goodness viruses never mutate!

They need a new market. This is precisely the kind of AI system I'd love to use.

New comment by argimenes in "What if everything is conscious?"

"In a nutshell, the problem is this: You’re conscious. But if you’re just made of non-conscious matter, why and how exactly could consciousness arise from that?"

Another way of phrasing it which highlights the fallacy is:

"In a nutshell, the problem is this: You’re alive. But if you’re just made of non-alive matter, why and how exactly could life arise from that?"

Just because we don't know exactly how life arose from non-biotic matter doesn't mean that non-biotic matter is alive. And just because we don't know how consciousness arose, exactly, doesn't mean that all matter is conscious.

Except that Caravaggio wasn't a Renaissance artist as he worked in the Baroque period.
