It brings a tear to my eye. Watching retards screech over a battle they literally cannot win lmao. Also lmao at the effective accelerationists. I always hated athiest faggots that peddle their religion, masquerading it as science. Science is the study of the material world. Science cannot tell you anything about post-material concepts. Just proof that theism will never go away. Or people who claim to understand consciousness (not the state of being awake, I mean qualia), or claim we know literally anything about it. With what our currently primitive AIs are capable of without 'consciousness', I see no reason why even animals have to be conscious to explain their behaviors, feats and capabilities. No animals are inventing new things or expressing behaviors outside of pre-existing stimulus they are exposed to. The only reason consciousness is even a concept being discussed is because everyone has it, knows they have it, and yet have no way to communicate what it is or properly explain it beyond the mutual understanding of it. In a world of objective realities, consciousness is the only truly subjective thing that exists, and amusingly is a prerequisite to experiencing the objective world in the first place. When you consider your brain, senses, and understandings can be fallible, consciousness becomes the only truly objective thing you are subjectively sure of. Which is to say: who fucking cares lmao we're all going to die anyways just enjoy life
