   This dude's got it right. Where space niggas are space cops aren't far. There is also the fact that preteen female bodies aren't exactly made for rocket launches so you'll also get busted for necrophilia. You sick fucks.

   Of course there is a difference, you made an example of it yourself here: "… would you rather have to make brread from scratch or just go out to the store and buy it?"
   
   Why did you pick the machine over reality? I don't want to speak for you, I don't know what your reason was because you didn't state one, but based on your bread metaphor I'm assuming you chose the machine because you're the sort of person who would rather go to the store to buy bread. In the machine you could enjoy whatever pleasures you wish without putting the actual work usually required to achieve them. That's a pretty large and obvious difference between the experience machine and reality.
   
   Now I don't know if I can agree with you that people who would choose reality over the machine are being "held back" by their notion of what reality is. I don't know why some people would prefer reality over simulation, or to use your metaphor why they would prefer to bake their own bread, but I'm assuming that they enjoy putting in the effort. I don't know, maybe it makes them feel more human or something. I mean, there is this saying that "you are what you do," and there could be an argument made here that if you no longer are doing human things but are instead just some incomprehensible simulation of pure joy and pleasure, you're no longer really a human being. I suppose you would respond by saying something like "Well the people who think that are just being 'held back' by some made up notion of what a human is," and maybe you're right about that, maybe the whole concept of "being human" is just imagination, but is it really right to say they are being "held back" as if their notions are some sort of a weakness? Couldn't it just as easily be argued that you are being held back by some notion of "being held back" you've made up?

   As I said, the outcome is identical, not how we arrived at it. I don't care how the outcome comes around so long as I get the desired result, and I'm not harming anyone else.

   That wasn't Descartes' position (he actually thought we could know a lot of things deductively, existence of cogito was just the first) and it's a far cry from an indisputable fact. See Kant for an example of someone who thought (and many metaphysicist still hold the position that) we can have certain knowledge about the world beyond existence from mere experience.

   You're right. I was simplifying for, well, the sake of simplicity. A more accurate way to say it would be that all knowledge is based upon cogito ergo sum. However, I don't know what you're talking about it not being undisputed; there is no philosophical argument, at least that I am aware of, that disputes Descartes' assertion that it is the one core fact from which we can derive knowledge. You'll have to be more specific with what you believe Kant said on the subject.

   I was once on DPH on a roadtrip through France (this is a true story) and I had some Ritalin with me and as we crossed the Swiss border I got paranoid as fuck and put all the pills in a bottle of water which at the time seemed bullet proof. Yea... no control or anything and I had to sip my rancid drug water for the rest of the trip.

   I don't believe there is a specific age at which we magically becomes adults. Pedophiles prey upon people who have not yet matured to the point where they are capable of recognizing their own sexual orientation.

   That's some vague ass bullshit and you're an idiot. You're also probably a 16 year old. Males prey on the weakness of females. That's nature. Go fuck a book or something.

    ​Boring Boring Arsenal! That whole squad was crazy. I'm rooting for you this year as well. It's good to see Mesut play well and you guys gave Merte the best nickname ever.
