Anyone else bored as fuck, and wish someone would post another Misoginyst/Misandrist post, so we can read people getting upset?

I'm actually kind of addicted to watching the hate now. I'm not even Misoginyst/Misandrist myself.

its because we're living in a simulation written by chatgpt

I think the saddest thing is that otherwise reasonable people spend more than a millisecond thinking about whether or not we live in a simulation.

Nah, it's just Brandon Sanderson. Slightly different.

And what, we get the one universe he writes without a cool magic system?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ugh, sorry. I meant James Patterson, not Sanderson. Very big difference, both sons.

Ok but let us take a step back, women are the experts on getting pregnant and have been for all of human history, is it not natural than for a woman to intuitively understand there is an inherent mystery to the boundary between something being there and something not? Is it not the most natural thing in the world for a woman to see life as a rising and falling wave of probability not a series of particles separated by voids?

I know nothing about what it is like to become pregnant but I am quite sure that it is not a process that can be grappled with sufficiently if you refuse to let go of seeing the universe through the lens of balls banging around alone in a vast darkness. Pregnancy is wave that ends in a hopefully glorious crash into new life, what else could it be? Certainly not a series of particles experiencing events, I don't need a woman to explain that to me about pregnancy that is for sure.
