It’s possible to do less granular simulation of far away stuff as an LOD type thing. An object four times hotter than the surface of the sun should probably have an effect on the world around it. The tricky parts are how you determine where that threshold is, what those objects are, and what the low resolution world simulation should be doing in response

What? Any and all filters an intelligent species could encounter need to be factored in statistically, even if not all of those filters will 100% be encountered
- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 5 months ago:
Perhaps it’s a contextual Great Filter only for instances of intelligent life in which capitalistic modes of production win out.

Your eugenic sentiments aside, if you want people to have fewer babies, you don’t just tell them to stop fucking; you teach them how to use contraception and make it as accessible as possible.

Maybe lol
- Comment on Red Flag Warning? Neighbor Has Fire 11 months ago:
I could be wrong, but they likely asked because vinyl/PVC is generally toxic to the environment so it was probably a means of asking whether your neighbor replaced the foliage in their yard with a fixture that poisons the ground. I wouldn’t be surprised if the strips in the chain link were vinyl, as that’s a pretty common outdoor filler material.
- Comment on Red Flag Warning? Neighbor Has Fire 11 months ago:
I’m not the person you replied to, but pretty sure the question was whether the neighbor in your story replaced their hedge with a vinyl fence specifically.

- Comment on Eat lead 1 year ago:
I always found the idea of stable Boltzmann brains fascinating. The idea that on an infinite enough universe, there must exist self-sustaining minds that function on an entirely circumstantial set of rules and logic based on whatever the quantum soup spit up.
- Comment on Eat lead 1 year ago:
It’s also hard to argue while also claiming your god is moral, which is why creationists usually scapegoat the task of planting fossils to Satan.
- Comment on Eat lead 1 year ago:
I always found it funny how they’ll sometimes try to justify their claims scientifically to give it an air of legitimacy. If god created the stars close to one another and expanded them to fill the sky over a single day, the skies would be dark for billions of years. A YEC could easily say “oh well god put the light there to make the stars look like they’ve been in the sky for a long time” but very often they just don’t have an answer because they didn’t think of one. Unfortunately, there’s almost that will stop them from doubling down on their beliefs and just becoming more prepared for the next person they talk to

Ideally, I agree wholeheartedly. American gun culture multiplies the damage of every other issue we have by a lot
- Comment on Chatbot that caused teen’s suicide is now more dangerous for kids, lawsuit says 1 year ago:
One or more parents in denial that there’s anything wrong with their kids and/or the idea they need to take gun storage seriously? That’s the first thing that comes to mind, and it’s not uncommon in the US. Especially when you consider that a lot of gun rhetoric revolves around self defense in an emergency/home invasion, not having at least one gun readily available defeats the main purpose in their minds.

In dry climates, the water actually will dry itself relatively quickly as long as there’s not an overwhelming amount. In more humid areas though, yup.

- Comment on Artifical Intelligence 1 year ago:
Without scarcity, artificial or not, the ruling class loses their grip on power. Capital will manufacture scarcity to whatever degree it is capable of, because without it there’s even less justification for owners to exist at the top of this neat little hierarchy they desperately cling to. They need to have their gated fortresses and their toys, cleanly separated from the rest of us undesirables.
They’ll use AI to bolster the security of their bunkers while drying up the rivers to run them. The whole while, they’ll blame any economic decline on the claim that “nobody wants to work anymore” after having automated all the jobs and offering no replacements.
I’d like to believe an alternative is possible. Perhaps we can come together and push for a better future, but that doesn’t seem to be the way things are going currently.
