I'm probably way off the mark here, but my instinct tells me there's nothing intrinsic about the human condition that makes it the exclusive vessel of thought. It is theoretically …

The same way expecting you understand what a Kelvin is isn't respectful to you.

Saying something is false and then asking for citations doesn't seem that helpful to me. To support your argument, take the following example: Lets take some water at 273.15 Kelvin…

Also, the way Kelvin is defined necessitates that both degrees are identical. If 10 degrees Celcius defined the boiling point of water at 1 atmosphere (or whatever the actual defin…

This is probably the most ridiculous comment I've read in the history of this website. There is no difference in the amount of energy 1 degree Celsius delta and 1 degree Kelvin del…

How would you compare the two? I think no matter what the good was, you're still left with "yeah, but x happened".

I guess my point is you will always be bad as a result of doing this very bad thing, no amount of karma can counter it.

Moral distance is an interesting concept, because it implies two acts are comparable at some level. If someone cured cancer, do you think they couldn't be tried for murder?

People have always told me I'm too hard on myself. Then again, I've made mistakes to know I wasn't hard enough on myself. If you're worried about causing a negative effect on someo…

> You can save thousands of people, but murdering someone still should mean a life sentence. I've struggled with this point of view since my early teens, and possibly even earlier.…

As a discord user, it's the kind of platform that I would want to have running to receive notifications, sort of like the SMS of gaming. A large part of my friend group use discord…

Not giving men any authority on abortion is taking a hard stance that abortion is a female issue over a human issue. I won't pass any judgement either way, but it's an interesting …
