Slap children often.

Democrats trapped at the municipal level are uppity that they can't milk cab unions and medallions for free extortion money anymore.

Is the HackerNews official stance to froth madly at anything Uber because, at the heart of the matter, they are long-standing medallion monopolies held by entrenched officials in v…

Epistemology for everyone! Truth is the intersection of belief and truth. The moment you start formalizing a belief, be it linguistically, mathematically, naturally, structurally, …

Played WoW for years. Grinded most of my members to rank 14. Ran a PvP guild that lost three times in 6 months during this grind. Tricked the entire horde to split forces in AV wit…

Because it's ability to generate a limitless supply of zero-days makes it easier for us in San Francisco to go after blogs we don't politically agree with. Isn't that right, Mr. Al…

Hey, Altman. How's the circlejerk growing? By the post, I see. No worries, I'm sure your research on basic income are super popular with your fellow peers. Too bad it will never ha…

You've banned this account for calling out your biases, you mean.

Freedom of association means assembling with like-minded interests, not purging unlike-minded interests. What you are trying to defend with that deep-end SJW Kool-aid belly flop is…

Did the pixels offend you? Block everyone who disagrees with you. Now you know why no one you knew voted for Trump. If the left is obsessed with turning their entire belief system …

No one is making irrational judgments based off of the amount of photons that are being reflected. Many Indians can't reflect many photons, either. Police aren't shooting them. Let…

Keep your weird contained to your monoliths and stop trying to colonize JavaScript!

The arguments are so bitter because the stakes are so low.

To kill two birds with one stone, as soon as animals demonstrate something more akin to tribal-level human behavior of religious worship (the grand fusion of self, environment, soc…

I'm being downvoted because my comment spat in the face of those who think general artificial intelligence automatically implies some superior Nietzschean post-human that is qualif…

I provided the very best and most recent research for the absurd position that animals supposedly have their own animal gods, attend regular communal worshipping ceremonies, engage…

What is monotheism but a comprehensive collection of thought experiments regarding the behavior of a Bronze Age singularity? :D

I didn't say "intelligent". I said "AI", as in "artificial intelligence" which implies a simulation of human intelligence. Machine processes already exist that demonstrate, say, an…

The best case for animals demonstrating religious behavior (which is fundamentally different than believing in a god, mind you) is from a very convoluted interpretation of a food c…
