It's a funny story if you look at the end of life from a materialistic viewpoint on the origin of consciousness, but that’s not the only perspective.

New comment by tclover in "How does electricity get to my wall socket?"

I believe electricity is the closest thing to magic among the natural forces that we have managed to tame more or less. The entire history of humanity is a story of how we learned more cleverly to exploit the fact that the electron is a negatively charged particle, even the human being itself, and life itself, is a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, where the flow of protons drives the rotation of ATP synthase and produces the energy of life

I used to think teeth were the worst-designed part of the body, until I learned that DNA polymerase can make an error during replication and it goes unnoticed, and then a few months later hundreds of thousands of malignant lymphocytes appear throughout the entire body of somebody you love most, and due to their exponential growth they invade every tissue. Now I look at teeth in a completely different way

Capitalism sucks everything out of people, most people nowadays can’t even make friends, find a partner, have a child, just work-sleep-a little time for a hobby at best, and then they wonder how come we have a demographic catastrophe? Capitalism is just another form of slavery

We don’t even have the technical capability to create a digital atomic-scale model-copy of a cell, strictly speaking we don’t even know what consciousness actually is. This kind of statement usually comes from those who simply don’t understand what they’re talking about.

You don’t need to turn off the light to turn on your thinking apparatus in your head, it’s enough to start with any question and keep asking why until it inevitably becomes interesting what life actually is

It’s interesting, of course, but for example the Ukrainian budget depends on donations for about 60%, yet this dump doesn’t seem to rush to publish articles with equally loud headlines about Ukraine. Or about the US with its trillions in debt, or the UK, France, and most EU countries with huge debts exceeding their annual GDP.

Well, what did you expect? if competition is banned, they can churn out whatever, charge whatever they want, and it'll still get bought with tax money.
