Newton’s work in optics → refraction and better lenses → the microscope →germ theory →vaccines.
Well, he couldn’t have known that, but fascinating that he was inadvertently helping to solve disease. Just a few centuries ahead of being useful.
- Comment on Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? 2 weeks ago:
It’d be great if any part of that were testable.
- Comment on Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? 2 weeks ago:
We have no idea what consciousness is.
Literally. It’s something that we all experience, but there is no scientific definition, measure, or framework to study it.
We assume it is a function of our brains, but we could be wrong. Are intelligent birds, apes, and dolphins conscious? What about lizards? Flatworms? Trees? Yeast?
If you want to go down that rabbit hole, search “what’s it like to be a bat?” or “the hard problem.”

Back then it was “raid: shadow news”
- Comment on Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)? 2 weeks ago:
I’m assuming that all of the magic would be hoarded by the spellionaires. I’d be stuck in some warehouse loading an infinite number of potions that I can’t afford onto a Pallet of Holding.
- Comment on Well if it's low cost and easy to use.. 3 weeks ago:
There was a study on boredom that found people who did NOT want to be shocked. They put them in a room with nothing to do for 15 minutes, and if I recall, about half or the people voluntarily shocked themselves for something to do.

- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 4 weeks ago:
This is the advice that’s consistent with what I’ve heard from several different lawyers.
There are lawyers who specialize in cases like this. I’d call one. You don’t want to be stuck with a spurious DWI on your record.

- Comment on It's the spelling for me 5 weeks ago:
Do you call this well studied?
Yes.
Feel free to review any of the 54,000 scientific papers if you don’t like the one I shared. If you’d read and understood the abstract, you’d have seen that it is both an original study and review of the field of previous research. The page also includes links directly to dozens of related and cited papers. Psychological and behavioral studies are typically case studies, or group studies like this. This is considered a larger study in the field.
Feel free to present any paper that supports your counterclaim that there is simply not enough known about the issue to determine whether sibling incest is harmful or not. Please be sure that is is from this century and well-cited, since I did you the same courtesy. You can access full-text articles through an academic login, many public libraries, or archive sites.
- Comment on How accurate can your position be calculated from a photo of the sun you post online? 5 weeks ago:
In this example, where only the sun is pictured in relation to an indoor window, and no other information is present, it would be very difficult to make any kind of meaningful calculation. You could probably identify some information about the camera based on the proportion of the disk of the sun, but unless you had some additional information, such as the precise dimensions/compass direction of the window, or the location of the horizon, It would be impossible to make a calculation of this type. There just isn’t enough information.
- Comment on It's the spelling for me 5 weeks ago:
In cases of close family sexual contact, consent is not a matter of a simple statement. There are lots of reasons why a person might make a statement of consent while they are in fact unwilling or unable to consent. This is always true, but particularly so in dealing with close family sexual contact.
- Comment on It's the spelling for me 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s pretty well studied.
- Comment on It's the spelling for me 5 weeks ago:
Incest is almost never between two consenting adults. There is almost always an inappropriate power dynamic, coercion, and/or grooming.
- Comment on Fuck IMDB and fuck Amazon 5 weeks ago:
The site is a web app. You van install it from your browser. It’s way better than IMDB and I’m not sure why it is so difficult to discover through search. Everyone should be using it.
