Oh dear. It seems my reply also disappeared.
Pleasure is part of the tool box that has emerged in Earthly evolution as an aid to natural selection. For non-sentient beings I don’t think pleasure and pain are particularly balanced they both play different roles in natural selection. But there is no reason why pleasure MUST be a part of evolution.…[Read more]

@davis, you removed my entire reply lol.
Is not “suffering less” equivalent to “pleasure”? Pleasure is a motivator because it indicates moving towards fitness benefits.

So we can travel the stars. We come across a planet that has a form of life that evolved differently than us. Every single creature suffers endlessly in this world (a ghastly product of a strange evolution). Scientists have studied the hell out of them and there is no conceivable way to re-engineer them. There is zero possibility they will ever…[Read more]

I would do any of the above 3 and probably even more extreme than that. But to be able to do everything I want to do would require me to move out of the US. As soon as I can I’m gone. BYE FELICIA!!!

I prefer the alien scenario. I honestly think humanity has absolutely no hope until we either fix our genetic code or some aliens do it for us (they are far less likely to screw up when they attempt to do so).

Ehhhhh. We can avoid the Earth setting on fire if we act now. Humans are too ridiculously selfish to bother. And the American government and half of Americans have always been ridiculous deniers of climate change. No…people won’t make those sacrafices and most importantly businesses wont make enough concessions (thats the serious problem) and…[Read more]

Well…at least you answered the question lol Sounds like the perfect solution. Shall we just freeze 100 humans and wait for aliens to come visit, revive us and fix all our problems?
I think we can allow for a diverse population of 100 million humans from all across the planet and the environment would still recover. It’s one “…[Read more]

I say fuck all that. Just have a lotto, the winners don’t get sterilized. Say 1% get to have a precious baby. Problem solved. Now we have massive resources for the education and betterment of those children. Why does the right to pollute the world with offspring trump all else?
lol, otherwise I agree, option 2. We are almost there already living…[Read more]

I personally would be extremely resistant to option 1 and willing to do option 2 (and I have no plans to have kids and HATE the heat and cold and love long showers and long cooked meals.

We all know we are heading to climate doom and that there is no way countries (especially the US) will do whats necessary to stop it. It’s likely to be very very very bad even with notable changes (which won’t happen until there are problems that really disrupt people’s lives right in their faces). So I thought I’d ask everyone a set of questions.…[Read more]

I was reading how at least 4 in 10 of young black men who die are murdered. It is the leading cause of death. It is taken to be normal. Thousands of times a day, radio station play songs that glorify murder. The musical and commercialized production of material that incites violence marches on. Why is this allowed? Is this covered under our r…[Read more]

A hispanic support group is not a particularly unbusiness like idea. If it helps integrate hispanic workers into the working enviroment, encourages inclusivity and comraderie…then that’s very good for the working enviroment and productivity. Same with a rainbow flag. Reducing a toxic atmosphere in general is extremely good bus…

I believe a business has the right to keep things businesslike.
Useless post. Is a gay flag over the doorway to the HR department businesslike? How about a daily bible verse on several office whiteboards. How about when all of your bosses discuss events at the same church or how about the Hispanic support network that has meetings…
