<If this decision does go into effect in 30 days, what will that mean for children born to non-U.S. citizens? What about children born to green-card holders or people who are in the U.S. on work or student visas?
>It depends on what state they’re in. If they’re in a state that sued to block the enforcement of the executive order, then in those states, they should be fine. Their children should be born under the cover of the citizenship clause — at least for the time being, that means they would be considered to be lawfully born United States citizens and they would be issued a birth certificate indicating that.
>In the states that are not under the cover of the injunctions, they’re going to have to figure out what type of documentation or process they’re going to require people to go under in order to either establish their status here and, in turn, determine the status of their child. If you’re in my home state of Indiana, injunctions don’t apply to you. It’s very complicated. This is the mess that is created when a device as helpful as an universal injunction is taken away.
<What happens if you are a person without legal status and you give birth in, let’s say, Indiana, since there’s no injunction that’s applicable there. Does that mean your child is stateless?
>From my understanding, it appears that the child is considered to take on the nationality of the parent — so if both parents were from Nicaragua, the child would likely be considered to be from Nicaragua. What happens after that is so up in the air. Unfortunately, it’s such a parade of horribleness that I’m afraid to even postulate about what could happen, because I don’t want to give anybody any ideas. It’s a scary time, and I pray that these questions can be resolved quickly — particularly the merit-based question about whether or not birthright citizenship is constitutional. >>2363355>need a jobGood fucking luck, the job market in the US is

Team Trump Is Serious About Unleashing the Espionage Act on the Media
In the months leading up to his second presidency, Trump and several of his advisers and close allies talked about novel ways the Espionage Act could be unleashed not just against government leakers and whistleblowers, but against media outlets that received classified or highly sensitive information, according to two sources involved with such conversations with Trump.
“Why not the press?” Trump has said, one of the sources relays, when commenting on how, in his mind, it makes absolutely no sense that the law has traditionally been used to prosecute leakers but not journalists who publish confidential national security disclosures.
In recent days, amid a prolonged meltdown over the intel leak about the strikes against Iran to outlets like CNN and The New York Times, the president has privately brought up using the Espionage Act on reporters again, according to one of the sources and also a senior Trump administration official.
The president’s lieutenants are listening, and — per the administration official — looking for the right case to launch their “maiden voyage” of an unprecedented type of Espionage Act prosecution — one which would also serve to broadly intimidate news organizations when it comes to publishing classified government information or protecting the identities of their confidential sources.
Republicans close to Trump stress that administration brass at the Justice Department, White House, and elsewhere are actively on the lookout for a test case of a leak that could be used to file criminal charges against American reporters and their publications as supposed “co-conspirators.”
“All we’d really need is one text or email from a reporter telling a source: ‘Can you pull something for me?’ or something very direct of that nature,” the senior Trump official says. “If somebody in the media wasn’t careful even for a split second, that could make the difference between a reporter, and a criminal.”
When asked for comment on the administration potentially using the Espionage Act against leakers and journalists, Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the White House, provided a statement to Rolling Stone: “Leaking classified information is a crime, and anyone who threatens American national security in this manner should be held accountable.”
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/espionage-act-team-trump-plan-media-1235376198/The Rent Guidelines Board approved increases of at least 3 percent for New York City’s one million rent-stabilized apartments, rejecting the call for a rent freeze that helped Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani surge to the lead in the Democratic mayoral primary last week.
Mayor Eric Adams, who appointed the members of the board, has supported rent increases for rent-stabilized apartments every year since he took office. Mr. Mamdani, likely to be the Democratic nominee facing him in the general election in November, has promised not to do the same if he becomes mayor.
As the city faces linked affordability and housing crises, the contrast between Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Adams added a new layer of tension to the board’s decision.
On Monday night, the board, in a 5-to-4 vote, approved 3 percent increases for one-year leases and 4.5 percent increases for two-year leases. The votes against the increases came from the two members on the board representing landlords, who had wanted higher increases, and the two members representing tenants, who wanted a rent freeze.

>>2363502>nigeria>pakistanNotice how it's countries with poor health infrastructure. Increased nutrition, general health practices "eradicated" polio. Oh and btw, all the modern polio cases come from being exposed to the reactivated viruses from the vaccines usually from poorly filtered sewage water.
Also, I feel like there will be a false flag on 4th of july for a war in Iran.
>>2363488He's half right.
His policies will likely fail because he's going to be blocked at every turn unless he does a lot of political maneuvering to force them through and then get called a "dictator".
>>2363510Let's be fucking real here. The only communist mamdani will emulate is Allende.
He will start as Allende, he will run as Allende and most likely he will die as Allende where Cuomo will become Pinochet.
I for one don't give a shit about commies but I can already hear Haz al Din say mamdani is a fed. And Haz was almost never wrong. So if the maronite ᴉuᴉlossnW says mamdani is a fed, I beliebe him.

>>2363508>Increased nutrition, general health practices "eradicated" polio. countries with poorer nutrition and even worse health infrastructure such as CAR or somalia don't have polio.
polio is endemic to nigeria and pakistan due to spotty vaccine coverage and as vaccination rates go down in america it will eventually come back like measles did.
>>2363526The argument is simple. Too much vaccinating does not help.
>inb4 but muh sankaraEven socialist countries got their science from the west. That was what the whole Lysenko/Vavilov spat was about.

Western science has its roots in religious mysticism and eugenics.

I'd only brush my teeth once a day and I frequently forget to floss. I'm pro-fluoride if ever there was one.
Also tangentially related but I knew a bunch of people growing up who were "afraid" of the dentist, and to me that didn't make sense. I was afraid of doctors because it seemed like no matter what you did, they'd jab you full of needles and suck your blood out. With dentists all you had to do was brush your fucking teeth and you'd be fine.

Participants worked to identify cultural and political shifts in sentencing practices and evaluate the efficacy of incarceration alternatives.There was this clip of Vance going around that people claimed was from the RNC but it was actually for this other Orthodox Jewish org doing a criminal justice reform fundraiser.

https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/03/18/722099/dissecting-ultra-zionist-cult-chabad-complicity-genocide-gaza Dissecting the ultra-Zionist cult Chabad and its complicity in genocide in Gaza
>In December last year, in the town of Beit Hanun in northern Gaza, a Jewish religious outpost was established in a partially destroyed building. It was described as the ‘first Chabad House’ in the besieged, war-ravaged Palestinian territory.
>Chabad is an ultra-orthodox Jewish cult. It has many adherents in the genocidal Israeli occupation forces. Many of them wear Chabad patches on their uniforms. Here is a Zionist tank flying the distinctive Chabad flag in Gaza.
>In addition, there are also Chabad Rabbis attached to the Israeli occupation forces. One notes that the genocide is actually about “rooting out evil”. Here two Chabad Rabbis erected the Jewish religious symbol, the Menorah, in Gaza.
>But what is Chabad? It styles itself as a friendly outgoing Jewish movement dedicated to helping Jews reconnect with Judaism. However, in reality, it is a supremacist, hate-mongering Zionist cult.
>In the past it was anti-Zionist, but back then, even as far back as 1929, its adherents in Al Khalil (or Hebron as it is called by Zionists) were involved in spying on the Palestinians for the Haganah terror militia as well as storing weapons for them.
>Chabad is now so ultra-Zionist that it called in December for Gaza to be recolonized with Jewish settlers. Worse, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports, its adherents believe - as laid out in the Tanya, Chabad’s key religious text - gentiles have only animal souls, not human souls.
>In January, the Tanya was printed out by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza. This supremacism is carried over into its attitude to the Palestinians.
>Followers of a Chabad Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh are known as the ‘hilltop youth’. Two of his followers wrote the hugely controversial King Torah, which was also recommended by Ginsburg.
>The book states that it is permissible to kill Palestinian children, including babies.
>“There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults.”
>Ginsburg was even detained by police over his promotion of the book.
>It’s not just words. Ginsburg’s followers in the so-called ‘Hilltop Youth’ are said by the Zionist intelligence agency Shin Bet to be responsible for most ‘price tag’ revenge attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
>In 1988, Israeli regime premier Benjamin Netanyahu famously met with the leader of Chabad in New York where the notorious Zionist cult has its global headquarters.
>Netanyahu has maintained a strong relationship with Chabad ever since. Here he is seen addressing them at an event in 2014.
>These are the forces – supported and aided by the United States and the United Kingdom - unleashed as part of the genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza.
>In December, it was revealed that a Chabad group in the UK was fundraising to support the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of more than 31,700 Palestinians, 70 percent of them children and women, since October 7.
>Rabbi Aryeh Sufrin of Chabad claimed back in October that the Hamas resistance movement is “worse than ISIS (Daesh)” in full conformity with Zionist entity talking points. He also disclosed that his son is a British recruit to the occupation forces and was in occupied Palestine at the time.
>The Chabad appeal read “Vital equipment needed by the IDF… Funds raised will go directly to equipment needed by Aron DovSufrin’s reserve unit, up in the North of Israel, and Support Units.”
>Aron DovShufrin is of course the son of the Rabbi, serving actively in the genocidal occupation forces.
>Chabad-Lubavitch is an ultra-orthodox Hasidic sect that also happens to be a Zionist supremacist and genocidal cult. It originates in Liubavichi in Russia near the border with Belarus and is a global movement with more than 5,000 offices in over 100 countries and in all 50 states of the US.
>he cult even has offices in seemingly unlikely places such as China, Belarus, Tunisia, Morocco and Venezuela.
>It has prominent supporters in many places. For example, the new Argentinian president Javier Milei is a Chabad devotee. Donald Trump donated to Chabad, though not as much as his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who played a pivotal role in the normalization of the Zionist entity.
>Obviously, Chabad has been highly organized in Ukraine and its followers were amongst those recruited to the Nazi Azov Battalion, which it is important to recall, was co-founded by a former member of the Israel occupation forces.
>Press TV’s flagship weekly show Palestine Declassified previously reported how Ukrainian Jewish oligarch Igor Kolomoisky bankrolled Chabad in Ukraine as well as the Nazi Azov and Aidar battalions.
>Back in the UK, there are around one hundred Chabad groups or offices. It flies under the radar and is widely regarded as well-meaning if a little eccentric.
>In reality, it is an extremist group that is building support for genocide in the UK.
>Ironically, the Community Security Trust has aided Chabad - giving them security advice after an edition of Palestine Declassified exposed some of their activities.
>The CST has 'educating about extremism' as one of its charitable objectives, but it is unwilling to educate us on the extremism of Chabad.
>There is a very good reason for that. Gerald Ronson, who created and runs the CST, is himself a Zionist extremist and has been supporting Chabad for more than half a century.
>Here he is in 2013 as a guest of honor at one of their events.
>Zionist extremists are widely scattered across the UK and form a mutually supportive network. This is a key element of the justification and support for genocide in Gaza.Ok so they are totally unbased except for that one thing.

<I am the only Jew in my office, so I face a daily barrage of questions about Israel's actions in Gaza. I don't know who appointed me as Israel's spokesman and I am not armed with the answers. Can you help?
>At times like this, each one of us becomes an ambassador for Israel. Even if you don't agree with everything Israel does, any decent person must stand up for Israel's right to self-defense.
>We can leave the military and political issues to the experts, but we should all be clear on the moral questions raised by this war. Let's look at a few of the most commonly asked questions.
<Q: How can Israel justify killing civilians if their intent is to crush Hamas?
>A: The death of innocents is a tragic inevitability of war. Our hearts go out to all those caught in the middle. The sad fact is that the Palestinian people are being held hostage by Hamas. Just as it is clear that Hamas is morally culpable for any harm done to Gilad Shalit, the Israeli hostage that they hold, so too are they culpable for the fate of Palestinian innocents amongst whom they hide. A civilian who is killed while being used by a terrorist as a human shield is a victim of the terrorist, not the Israeli army, who does not target innocent civilians
<Q: Doesn't Israel understand that they are just creating more terrorists? The anger and fury at Israel as a result of bombing Gaza will only make more people want to join Hamas.
>A: Feelings of frustration, anger, fear and rage do not make you into a terrorist. A culture of death and an education of hate does. Israel doesn't need to do anything to create terrorists - Islamic extremism does that - but Israel must act to destroy those who threaten its people.What the fuck do they mean a culture of death? They're saying when they kill them, that doesn't crate a culture of death?
<Q: Hamas indeed has a militant wing, but it also does a lot of good. They are responsible for social programs, educational projects and humanitarian work in Gaza. By destroying Hamas, Israel also destroys all the good they do. Aren't we demonizing a group that is not all bad?
>A: If a serial killer also happens to volunteer for his local hospital, has donated money to an orphanage, and looks after his ailing grandmother, he is still a serial killer, and he and the threat he represents must be treated as such. The danger he poses far outweighs the concern for any good he may do.<If a serial killer also happens to volunteer for his local hospital,Lel I found myself trying to come to grips with this question in regards to this org and whatever good things they did for criminal justice reform.
<Q: By using violence, how is Israel any better than its terrorist enemies?
>A: That is as ridiculous as saying that a woman who fights off an attacker is no better than her attacker. Israel would not touch Hamas if Hamas would stop sending rockets and suicide bombers into Israel. Israel seeks to live in peace with its neighbors; Hamas and its allies seek to destroy Israel, no matter what Israel does.Lmao. Of course the Jew thinks of his people as a woman collectively. I swear the most feminine people on the planet. The matrilineal thing, all that.
>There is a world of difference between the Hamas terrorists and the Israeli soldiers. The Hamas terrorist seeks violence as a way of life; his aim is to sow war and death. For the Israeli soldier, war is a necessity, and a moral duty, because Israel's citizens are being attacked and innocent lives are being threatened. The Hamas terrorist seeks to maximize civilian casualties; the Israeli soldier does everything in his power to minimize them.
>The Hamas terrorist fears times of peace, because then he has no purpose. The Israeli soldier dreams of a time when peace will reign. Then, the Israel Defense Force will be made joyously redundant, as "one nation will not lift a sword against another nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war". I don't know why we are pretending like China is the most developed country in the world.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-83497-yNon-carcinogenic health risks of fluoride exposure in minors based on national surveillance in China, 2014 and 2018
>High fluoride concentrations in groundwater represent a substantial global public health concern. In China, over 70 million individuals suffer from drinking water fluorosis. This study reports national surveillance data in 2014 and 2018, dividing affected areas into six regions. The compliance rate for safe fluoride concentrations in drinking water improved by 13.1%. The data revealed a statistically significant difference in fluoride concentration between areas that underwent improvements and those that did not (Z = − 10.583, P < 0.001). The potential health risks for minors were evaluated, with hazard index (HI) values for minors exceeding 1, indicating the possibility of non-carcinogenic health risks associated with fluoride exposure. Furthermore, in certain regions, the non-carcinogenic health risks related to the current Chinese national standard for fluoride in drinking water (1.0 mg/L) for infants have surpassed the acceptable threshold. The implementation of improvement initiatives led to a reduction in the non-carcinogenic risk of fluoride exposure for minors, with odds ratios (95% CI) for infants, children, and teens were 0.369 (0.268, 0.509), 0.556 (0.452, 0.683), and 0.823 (0.740, 0.914), respectively. These findings can assist governmental agencies in formulating more effective policies for the protection of minors, particularly infants, from fluoride exposure.Thomas massie opponent funded by trump lol.

Bro I shit you not I was on this transhumanist shit without ever reading one word of it from like 2 years old to my mid teenage years. I shit you not I used to wake my mother up at like 2 or 3 or whatever, this is what they told me and I have vague recollections, about this fucking nightmarish existential crisis I had about the fact that I would eventually die. Then I got into imagining hypotheticals about preserving my brain in some kind of artificial structure that could keep it alive forever. I never believed in any duplicating your consciousness to the cloud meant anything, I always felt the brain must be preserved physically otherwise that is obviously death and just a duplicate that could exist as the same time as the original. I pictured bizzare shit as a child staying up all night in this phobic state imagining, how my brain could hypothetically be saved in a self-sustained structure that could surivive the heat-death of the universe or whatever. But like eventually I had an epiphany, like what is infinity? Eventually this moment will be infinity years in the past hypothetically, and then what will it mean then? Meaning would naturally, eventually, be sucked out of your whole life experience so what does it really matter? I think this is one of the key points that lead my to overcome "material reductionism" or whatever the best term is.
From much more experience I believe that consciousness is actually the key element of existence and that matter is just an imaginary product just as you imagine matter in your own dre4ams.
>>2363483Zionazis have realized a very important paradox which they are able to psychopathically exploit: The more left wing jews are killed by right wing anti-semites, the more the remaining Jews (increasingly right wing in their outlook) embrace zionism as a form of self defense. The more the remaining jews conclude "well our problem is we're not organized into bloodthirsty genocidal militias that pre-emptively attack our designated enemies, like the people who are killing us do. It's a winning strategy and we should embrace it rather than giving into slave morality." So zionists actually
ENCOURAGE right wing antisemitism against Jews to purge themselves of the "weak, left wing" element among themselves and make the remaining people more bloodthristy, more accepting of zionism. It's actually very similar to how Justice Clarence Thomas once remarked that racism against black people "hardens" them through adversity. It is very eugenics coded, but instead of purging society, you are purging your own of the "weak" and "tolerant".
>>2363641>This world is imaginary. I wish but don't really believe it. Good on you I guess. If you are right I have nothing to worry about.
> I used to wake my mother up at like 2 or 3 or whatever, this is what they told me and I have vague recollections, about this fucking nightmarish existential crisisFunny.
>I never believed in any duplicating your consciousness to the cloud meant anythingYeah. It wouldn't be you just some duplicate.
>I pictured bizzare shit as a child staying up all night in this phobic state imagining, how my brain could hypothetically be saved in a self-sustained structure that could surivive the heat-death of the universe or whatever. It's not really that bizarre just some 1950s sci-fi hypothetical. Not sure most humans would want to go that route they would probably keep most of their body if possible and engineer the universe around it. Probably figure out how to stop heat death eventually.
>Meaning would naturally, eventually, be sucked out of your whole life experience so what does it really matter? Disagree with the Heidegger type thinking here. Living is valuable in itself. Existence gives it's own meaning and significance. The idea of abstracted "meaning" only coming after you are dead is cope to deal with your DNA breaking down over the years causing death from old age.
>>2363647So trees that live for hundreds of years have figured it out but grass just doesn't think positively enough?
>>2363657>I wish but don't really believe it. Good on you I guess. If you are right I have nothing to worry about.Indeed, my beliefs are low pressure. It's all good no matter what.
>Yeah. It wouldn't be you just some duplicate.Yeah exactly, but for whatever reason these Sci-Fis act like the scan in the computer is supposed to be you. I know Star Trek had some big thing about that in the novels about the transporters/duplicators or whatever. About how the thing scans you at one end and creates a duplicate at another and incinerates the original or some shit. I think this is probably a named trope on TVTropes.
>It's not really that bizarre just some 1950s sci-fi hypothetical. Not sure most humans would want to go that route they would probably keep most of their body if possible and engineer the universe around it. Probably figure out how to stop heat death eventually.It is rather bizzare for that age. I made up this silly transhumanist business as a child without ever seeing this concepts anywhere. It's just the natural conclusion of the silly material-reductionist belief of course but it is funny that a child can get to the bottom of how retarded that shit is when adults still believe it.
>Disagree with the Heidegger type thinking here. I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. I don't like Euro philosophers at all so it always throws me for a loop when you want to compare me to one. I have simply no idea.
>Living is valuable in itself. Existence gives it's own meaning and significance. I agree. That's why I am anti-suicide like I said. Just ride it out. There is no objective, just make it as far as you can. This will not be your last time here is my belief.
>The idea of abstracted "meaning" only coming after you are dead is cope to deal with your DNA breaking down over the years causing death from old age.I wouldn't say that is my belief at all. I think you are deriving meaning all the time. You are resolving the picture every moment. It's all for a purpose really.
>>2363641>I believe in the immortal soul. This world is imaginary. Literal idealism in the most extreme sense of the word.
>You wish to live forever and you shallMany don't actually
>I don't like all the Jewish shit mixed in Christianity. I believe in "Universal Salvation" so to say. At that point why not just drop the salvation shit altogether and just be a pantheist or deist or something, if you really gotta stay on the godpill.
>Bro I shit you not I was on this transhumanist shit without ever reading one word of it from like 2 years old to my mid teenage years. I shit you not I used to wake my mother up at like 2 or 3 or whatever, this is what they told me and I have vague recollections, about this fucking nightmarish existential crisis I had about the fact that I would eventually die.Kids don't really understand death until 4 in terms of brain development. I got a 2 year old and they don't even talk in complete sentences yet. They mostly just label things
>Then I got into imagining hypotheticals about preserving my brain in some kind of artificial structure that could keep it alive forever. I started having similar thoughts around 8 or 9 because I was reading too much sci fi and fantasy
> I never believed in any duplicating your consciousness to the cloud meant anything, I always felt the brain must be preserved physically otherwise that is obviously death and just a duplicate that could exist as the same time as the original. Well even your consciousness within your own brain is an illusion of continuity. From one moment to the next things "die" and are "reborn" if we are to believe the physicists who say that there is a real quantization of time and space at the planck scale. there is a scale of movement beneath which so called "momentary motion" is actually instantaneous teleportation of something that gets "destroyed" one moment and "recreated" the next. Also there's the whole ship of Theseus paradox as well. about whether an entity is identical to its set of components and how many components you can swap out through repair etc. before it is an entirely new entity. So to me identity itself is an illusion and the "soul" is a way for self-conscious
phenomena (we are fluid phenomena rather than consistent entities) to cope with their own internal contradictions and lack of a real identity. The soul is a label we arbitrarily use to "lasso" a collection of phenomena we deem to be a living being, but that collection of phenomena is so vast. Think of how many nails, hair, shit, and skin cells come out of you alone. think of your cells dying and regrowing. think of how your brain re-encodes itself over time to think differently. think of how some memories which are core to your identity "fade" or become distorted over time. we are collections of phenomena and the idea that we are self-consistent entities is a very convincing illusion that we use our cultural superstructure to reinforce. I think there needs to be a cultural revolution not in the chinese sense of the term, not the pep rallies and struggle sessions, but a quiet collective rethinking of how humans see themselves, before socialism can begin to be possible in the first world. we need to put aside our illusions and ego and embrace regard ourselves as cells in a greater body. religion already gives people the strength to do that, but it does so on anti-materialist terms rather than materialist terms. rather than sacrificing oneself for the promise of heaven we should do it regardless of the promise. we should accept that we in all likelihood will die before things get better, and that anything we find "important" about ourselves are reproducible
traits which can
re-emerge in the
material world even if there is no
soul that can be
reincarnated or exert
influence on the real world from the afterlife.
> I pictured bizzare shit as a child staying up all night in this phobic state imagining, how my brain could hypothetically be saved in a self-sustained structure that could surivive the heat-death of the universe or whatever. But like eventually I had an epiphany, like what is infinity? Eventually this moment will be infinity years in the past hypothetically, and then what will it mean then? Meaning would naturally, eventually, be sucked out of your whole life experience so what does it really matter? I think this is one of the key points that lead my to overcome "material reductionism" or whatever the best term is. Yes, I've had similar thoughts but I remained materialist and simply synthesized it with my materialism. Dialectical materialism is non-reductionist. Metaphysical vulgar materialism is reductionist. It's all about whether you treat things as static constants like a child trying to label objects in a bucket or whether you try to always regard the flux and flow and internal inconsistency of things as they move through various temporary and illusory states.
>From much more experience I believe that consciousness is actually the key element of existence and that matter is just an imaginary product just as you imagine matter in your own dreams.Consciousness is a byproduct of material conditions though. Your ability to consider these questions will die with your brain. a conscious collection of phenomena is a product of its environment before it grows and matures makes the environment a product of itself.
>>2363663This is such a midwit attempt at 'resolving' the hard-problem of consciousness.
Boring.
Also, there's nothing inherently obliviating about a physicalist account of consciousness, see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfAFPi89454 and this guy's entire channel, more generally. Also certain strains of materialist buddhism.
>>2363663>Well even your consciousness within your own brain is an illusion of continuity. It's not an "illusion" if people actively feel this continuity at a primal level. "I think therefore I am" presupposes the "I" because people feel the "I" no matter what they think.
>Also there's the whole ship of Theseus paradox as well. about whether an entity is identical to its set of components and how many components you can swap out through repair etc. before it is an entirely new entity.No matter how many pieces of Theseus's ship you replace it would still be a ship…
>>2363668>This is such a midwit attempt at 'resolving' the hard-problem of consciousness. This is such a dismissive non-response.
>midwitchan lingo for people who think they're better than you.
>PhysicalistI think you have misinterpreted what I'm saying which is why you don't quote any of it and immediately spam youtube. (I will check it out tomorrow if I have time.)
Anyway I was trying to have a discussion not a "debate" but if you want to have a disagreement based conversation at least try to climb the pyramid of disagreement a little bit instead of initiating race to the bottom of it.
