Sure I’m paying for a pencil and paper, but you don’t need massive investment into means of production to create that.
… now that’s a silly take. A nearly $300 billion industry.
Paper creation is one of the worst sources of pollution and water drains on the planet. Far, far, far more than anything dealing with AI lol. Orders of magnitude higher.
Worldwide, the pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest consumer of energy, accounting for four percent of all the world’s energy use.
Pulp and paper generates the third largest amount of industrial air, water, and land emissions in Canada and the sixth largest in the United States.

Writing instruments are a $17 billion industry… Get off the internet for a bit. Doomerism is getting to you.

And yet it’s still relevant because HAM radio operators are weird like that.

We all did John.
Has anyone ever done a quick calculation about the above with the population?
8 billion people x distance to Jupiter = Anywhere close to Proxima Centauri?
I’ll be not lazy when I’m done shitting then someone can come in and correct my math after if ai even remember to do it by the time I get back to my PC.
E: 714 million km distance to jupiter. 40,208,000,000,000 km to Proxima Centauri.
40,208,000,000,000 / 714,000,000 = 56313.72549019608
714,000,000*100 = 71,400,000,000 km end to end for dna is more likely per reddit.
Alternate non nasa distance to proxima centauri is 39,900,000,000,000
39,900,000,000,000 / 71,400,000,000 = 558.8235294117647 people’s dna end to end to reach proxima Centauri.
How about light years? A light-year is 9.44 trillion km or 9,440,000,000,000 so 132.2128851540616 people’s DNA to go 1 light year.
8,000,000,000 / 132.2128851540616 = 60,508,474.5762712 light years of travel distance using the entire population of earth.
Milky way is 100,000 light years across.
So end to end every current human’s DNA would stretch across the Milky Way 605.084745762712 times.
Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away.
60,508,474.5762712 / 2,500,000 = 24.20338983050848 times to Andromeda Galaxy and back.
We have galaxies even closer to us so really it’s just a hop and a skip away…
944,000,000,000,000,000 km.

It’s not about some ideological purity but a basic difference in the ability to learn things because of our inability to control the relevant variables.
We are just going to have to disagree then. Said variables are heavily controlled, well known about, and usually spoken about in every paper about issues it might have.
I’m pretty confident we’re at an impasse now so not much more to say since the long thread has brought in too many side musings too.
Take care.
I mean you’re not wrong with how you’re thinking about hard STEM sciences but it’s needlessly gatekeeping and full on incorrect to say others aren’t good science. Most of them are very necessary and very real science usually far more important to the world than anyone to the right of the graph in your end of the Purity kxcd lol.
FWIW there’s not competing sciences for even most of the STEM ones either. If you think there is… well you might just be studying string theory still lmfao.
Gotta feel sorry for made up quirks of mathematics that always fall apart when applied in the real world though lol. They make for fun what ifs but damn if they aren’t fleecing their way to a paycheck for hypersensationalized headlines for super fringe never proveable theorems.
Besides thirty minutes of well sourced videos and an entire wiki page with more source than I could ever provide?
It sounds like you’re just obstinately head in sand sealioning stupid now lol. It’s like asking for a source paper on the entirety of particle physics lmfao. Like what?
The second video goes into that a lot. You’re right though that the lens of how people view the world is a belief. People tend to fall on one side or the other for a reason, most of which is related to external vs internal locus of control which is also an order beyond lol. I get it, people want science to be black and white for a reason because order.
And no, you genuinely cannot explain politics with particle physics because it’s a human construct sufficiently advanced to not be explained by it’s baser inputs. Explaining the concept of philosophy through particle physics is a fools errand because they have nothing to do with each other lol. You’re trying to fit the circular block in the square hole… hehe.
There are orders of magnitude to these things where something can be explained sufficiently as long as they’re close enough in literal size scale to each other, but you go further and it breaks down.
You’re not an automaton, you’re thinking to yourself right now and have probably formed relationships with many people which requires concepts like love which can be explained partly with oxytocin but you don’t get love by saying this hydrogen couples with this oxygen spot on a hormone receptive cell, biomarker, particle, etc… You have to introduce hormones, larger systems, human bonds, replication, feel good molecules up and up until it’s something different that’s lost on just saying this fits here and does this other thing.
Could you explain the entire science_meme culture experience browsing Lemmy by only describing chemistry? You’d be hard pressed to not be able to describe it without having to use multiple human-only concepts once you get past the internet, simple changes in your body to make you feel good browsing, seeing, color, reddit exodus, keyboard, breathing, laughing, the dichotomy, the concept of false or propaganda lol.
… I imbued the clothes with +20 to water resistance and +20 to AGI so they effectively move out of the way and never get wet.
But yeah, you’ve convinced me. I’d also prefer white on a hotter summer day.
WhaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaat? Lol.
Homie you’re overthinking emergence.
You cannot explain consciousness through the collision of atoms.
It’s literally something being bigger in human thought than the sum of it’s parts. That’s it.
… Does it though? Looks comfy to me.
Emergence. As in when something becomes greater than the sum of it’s parts. Sapience. Life. Consciousness.
Emergence in action.
No heat, no radiation, no mass anymore, so heath is a vacuum?
Well maybe if most cats smiled a little more like those ones then we wouldn’t have to fearful of you being around my daughter.
I wonder if this is the greatest recorded ‘total cost’ fuckup of modern civilization?
I do find how they calculate ‘lost’ money silly though. Oh no delays! That means people didn’t buy or make as much on paper!
It’s like the way America calculates job gains or losses lol.
And for those who have kids that don’t. That’s fine too. Not everyone is born exceptional or super interested in this kinda shit. That’s fine too. Most of what makes a person themselves is genetic anyway.
Parenting can try to dull or hone those edges to something wicked or calmer if needed though. Even then, brains are different. Don’t be surprised when they are.
