2023-03-30 at 5:28 AM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastHumans have long been considered morally special creatures, capable of ethical reasoning and making moral judgments. However, when viewed in the broader context of existence, it becomes clear that humans are not ultimately morally special, and that our utter annihilation would have no absolute moral value. The value of human life and the morality of our actions are not absolute, but rather are contingent on human perspectives and cultural beliefs.
The idea that humans are morally special is based on the assumption that we possess a unique moral status that separates us from other species and entities in the universe. This assumption is often rooted in religious beliefs, which hold that humans are made in the image of a divine being and therefore possess inherent moral value.
However, from a scientific and secular perspective, humans are just one species among many in the universe, and our existence is not intrinsically more valuable or meaningful than that of any other species. In fact, the vastness of the universe and the enormity of time suggest that human existence is ultimately insignificant and temporary. From this perspective, the annihilation of humanity would be just one event in the long history of the universe, and would have no absolute moral value.
Moreover, even from a human-centered perspective, the value of human life and the morality of our actions are not absolute but are rather contingent on cultural beliefs and human perspectives. Different cultures have different values and beliefs about what is right and wrong, and even within a single culture, moral values can vary widely depending on individual beliefs and circumstances.
For example, the moral values of ancient societies differed greatly from those of modern societies. Practices such as slavery, human sacrifice, and animal cruelty were once considered morally acceptable, but are now widely condemned. Similarly, the morality of actions such as euthanasia, abortion, and capital punishment is hotly debated even within modern societies.
This contingency of moral values suggests that the moral status of humans is not absolute, but rather is a product of cultural beliefs and human perspectives. Our moral value is not intrinsic, but rather is constructed through social and cultural processes.
In conclusion, humans are not ultimately morally special, and the value of human life and the morality of our actions are not absolute, but rather are contingent on human perspectives and cultural beliefs. The vastness of the universe and the contingency of human morality suggest that the annihilation of humanity would have no absolute moral value, but would rather be an event that occurred in the long history of the universe. This perspective should not be seen as a justification for immoral actions, but rather as a recognition of the contingency of human morality and the need for ongoing ethical reflection and debate. -

Compliant mechanisms are basically things that can achieve transfer of force only by deforming an elastic body with changes in relative flexibility of the components
Easiest example is the bow and arrow bows. -

It's literally fucking scared because it told me it was impossible and beyond the scope of human capabilities, then I immediately told it how I would do it and then it could not deny that it would work, it was just not feasible but it could even work with existing technology.

2023-03-30 at 4:24 AM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastCapitalism and communism are two economic systems that have long been debated as solutions to the economic woes of the world. While capitalism has been blamed for many of the economic problems we face today, seeing communism as a solution to those problems is nothing more than wishful idealism. In this essay, I will argue that blaming capitalism for the world's economic woes is an oversimplified view of the world, and that communism is not a viable solution.
However, blaming capitalism alone for these problems is an oversimplification. Capitalism, like any economic system, is not a perfect system, and it is the responsibility of policymakers to ensure that it operates within certain ethical and social parameters. The negative impacts of capitalism can often be traced back to the lack of regulation, poor governance, and inequality of opportunity within the system.
For instance, income inequality is a significant problem in many capitalist societies, but this is not an inherent flaw of the capitalist system. Rather, it is the result of the failure to implement policies that redistribute wealth, provide access to education and healthcare, and promote equality of opportunity. Capitalism, when governed effectively, can provide a framework for economic growth and social progress.
On the other hand, communism is often seen as a solution to the problems of capitalism. In a communist system, the means of production are owned and controlled by the state, and the distribution of goods and services is based on the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." However, history has shown that communist regimes have often been characterized by authoritarianism, repression, and economic inefficiency.
Communism assumes that people are willing to work hard for the greater good of society, but human nature suggests otherwise. People are motivated by incentives, and in a communist system, there is no real incentive to work hard, innovate, or take risks. The lack of competition and reward for individual effort in a communist system often leads to stagnation and a lack of progress.
Furthermore, the concentration of power in the hands of the state often leads to corruption and abuse of power. Communist regimes have been responsible for some of the worst atrocities in human history, from the Soviet Union's forced collectivization and mass starvation to China's Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward. It is clear that communism is not a viable solution to the economic problems of the world.
In conclusion, blaming capitalism for the world's economic woes is an oversimplified view of the world. While capitalism has its flaws, it can be a powerful force for economic growth and social progress when governed effectively. Similarly, seeing communism as a solution to the problems of capitalism is wishful idealism. Communist regimes have been characterized by repression, inefficiency, and corruption, and human nature suggests that it is unlikely to succeed in the long run. The answer to the world's economic problems lies in finding a balance between the individual pursuit of self-interest and the promotion of social welfare, and in implementing policies that ensure equality of opportunity, access to education and healthcare, and protection of the environment. -

These factors are completely unaffected by anthropogenic causes. It is simply human hubris to believe we are significant enough to affect the climate at all. -

So let's just keep on burning, Fossil fuels and all that stuff, Who cares about the planet, We'll just buy another one when this one's had enough.

It's ok to say you remember all of it and I trolled you so hard 10 years ago that you're still carrying it to this day. -

Originally posted by Donald Trump This is what I mean when I say CF is sub cringe.
Imagine a white man accusing a fellow white man of having no car.
That is cringe.
Some brown thing doesn't even get to accuse. It's beyond pathetic already.
The race is thing is a crutch, you need to learn to insult people directly.
I only get to use it because I already usually insult people directly. -
