Exactly which nuance is important in this context?

The thing is your story seems more to confirm the scientific consensus around consciousness as connected to the physical existence of the brain. You describe how ancient medicine functioned through trial and error. Some times they came up with stuff that worked, more often than not they didn’t, and they had no way of knowing why a cure worked until scientific progress had discovered the underlying explanations for it. So when they found a cure that just happened to work on a certain disease, they would apply it for all sorts of diseases, or lacking proper diagnosis, would mistake other diseases for the disease it worked on and so forth.

It was blind chance without any actual useful theory behind it. Now we have useful theory which explains why consciousness would be linked to the physical cognitive functions of a brain, and less and less that would explain how it could exist without it.

No, both of those still involves some form of brain consciousness. What we don’t have any evidence of is consciousness existing without a physical body.

Now when a Putin simp is leading the country?

Finely diced celery, carrots and onion is the foundation of basically all great stews and ragouts (including ragu alla bolognese).

So bizarre that they start off with whining about Trump and Musk being criticised. One should have thought that that would be something a true communist could agree with.

Nah, this is just him once again doing Putin’s bidding.

As mentioned before in this thread, that is because the rooms themselves aren’t sufficient, investment in social care involved with the operation of them is as important.

The game is forced multiplayer? Yeah, then I’ll pass.

In 2002 they would all have anti-skip, even the cheap knock offs. The skipping was just in the early 90s.

Well, you shouldn’t watch smart tv anyway. Shut off that slop and use your tv as a dumb tv through a computer. The other way is just asking to be exploited.

Don’t forget him managing to completely destroy federal government as well. That was his main goal in the first place.

How does that strawmanning work out for you? Does it make you feel clever?

To be fair there are a lot of American tankies as well.

And?

Because the original doesn’t really have a lot of predatory monetisation. They are having GTAO wet dreams thinking about how to monetise their most popular game of the franchise with the excuse of doing it as a remake.

You didnd’t purchase their artwork though. The fact that you still haven’t figured that out says a lot about what kind of customerbase was needed to get NFTs off the ground.

Techbros are still doing it. In this thread even, and people are still falling for it judging by their upvotes.

Bitcoin is still fucking shit. That just amounts to “I wish I was there first in this this pyramid scheme”. It doesn’t change what it is.

Obviously him (and all the other oligarchs behaving like this) are counting on their entourage of sycophants following them. I don’t think they have completely considered the fact that all of their untangible wealth will be worthless in an apocalypse situation, and instead they will just turn into golden geese sitting on a pile of stuff that everyone else, including their former sycophants, would like to sit on instead.
