[01:56] CrystalMath i think that anyone with one functioning neuron can conclude the people are pro-Putin [01:56] CrystalMath they're being brutally held in a pro-EU dictatorship [01:56] MinceR someone with more functioning neurons will conclude the opposite [01:57] CrystalMath which does give them fair elections though, and lets them select their pro-Putin option, and then violently takes their rights [01:57] XRevan86 I wish I could have a fair election. [01:57] MinceR same [01:58] MinceR even so, at least it seems to be well known enough that the overwhelming majority of hungarians are pro-EU [01:58] MinceR which implies that even if orban has the sort of support he keeps claiming he has, the people would not want hungary to become a part of russia [01:59] CrystalMath well so far there was no violence in hungary [01:59] CrystalMath no coups, only elections [01:59] XRevan86 Should I ask Putin to fix that?

[02:02] CrystalMath i wouldn't like a coup to happen in hungary, just fair elections [02:04] XRevan86 CrystalMath: If Orban decides that Hungary needs to leave the EU and gets the boot, would that be antidemocratic when "the overwhelming majority of hungarians are pro-EU"?

[02:51] MinceR (there could even be multiple options) [02:51] Skywave i think i have talked about this with enough people that i can immediately spot the human supremacists. [02:52] Skywave basically some people want to create new experimental life no matter the cost. [02:52] Skywave like proteins -> RNA -> DNA. [02:52] Skywave others want to freeze evolution down to some arbitrary level. [02:52] MinceR i'm pretty sure there are other options [02:52] Skywave i think the purpose of humanity should be to build something better than itself. [02:52] Skywave at each stage, the next lifeform normally dominates the previous lifeforms entirely. [02:52] Skywave not out of malice, but because it is so much better at it. [02:52] MinceR for example, creation of new life doesn't have to risk creating a new pathogen [02:53] Skywave i am thinking of intelligence not simple organisms. [02:53] MinceR afaik for most of the existence of life on earth, no one lifeform dominated all others [02:53] MinceR depending on definition, it might not be the case even now [02:53] Skywave you can read about the RNA world.

[02:55] MinceR well, RNA-only life couldn't be particularly complex to begin with [02:55] Skywave same again as what AGI will say about DNA. [02:55] MinceR and it had particular requirements for its environment [02:55] Skywave yes. [02:55] Skywave like humans on earth. [02:55] MinceR i doubt any of it was more complex than current RNA viruses [02:55] Skywave right. [02:55] MinceR probably back in the day, no life had a membrane or a capsid [02:55] Skywave beings quadrillions of times more intelligent than all humans throughout history will think we were a drop in the ocean as well. [02:56] Skywave i only see DNA as a stepping-stone. [02:56] MinceR it might be [02:56] Skywave if it is not, i would be very disappointed. [02:56] MinceR hell, considering what we're doing to this planet, DNA may well become nonviable [02:56] MinceR along with RNA [02:56] Skywave if you want to bring it down to realism yes absolutely. [02:56] Skywave everything i say is about making sure i am dealing with CORE people and not ARM. [02:57] Skywave i do not think you are ARM. [02:57] Skywave some people are way too attached to their 5-sense 3+1-dimensional mainstream-everything postage-stamp consensus-reality.
