It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Roko's basilisk is very funny because it's just a version of Pascal's Wager where if you think it's bullshit god just goes "understandable have a nice day" and only punishes you if you believe in it but don't sufficiently obsess about it.
No, "simulation theory" is bazinga solipsism, not bazinga deism.
It does have that deistic element to it, but it's primarily solipsistic because they don't want to live in the simulated universe and accept it in its programmed natural laws, they want to escape the simulation because they believe it's all fundamentally unreal.
That is the underlying ideology of capitalism, the unlimited growth no matter what
It's the most "what reading literally no philosophy at all and scoffing at the entire liberal arts your whole life does to an mf" thing possible.
What if Roko's Basilisk has already happened and generative AI is its revenge against humanity.
