Imagine an artificial intelligence (surgery robot) making this decision.

That's a good question. Interestingly not! For one part I think that drinking (modest) amounts of alcohol is not as bad for your health as smoking. I would avoid people who love bi…

I would never want to become a business partner with someone who is smoking cigarettes. Why? For me it indicates a lack of intelligence, not being good at dealing with stress and b…

Thanks, makes sense!

Could someone explain to me how Golang would compare to Rust for this purpose? I'm a Golang newbie and I always wondered if it would be possible to write an OS in it (+ some assemb…

As humans we are evolved to have more compassion the more similar a being is to us, and less compassion the more different it is from ourselves. Human ethics is often selfish (pun …
