so this seems accurate
is that different from how you'd feel if that 2% loss was a major impairment
what if instead you woke up and could only speak French
I take back my "I would preserve my brain" statement in that case
I am doing more damage until I am either not French or dead
can you evaluate the changes I guess is my question, versus the knowledge you had of what prior you is like
and is there value in trying to return to that state, or improve an impaired state in your view
versus just living with it
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 can you evaluate the changes I guess is my question, versus the knowledge you had of what prior you is like
Regardless of my evaluation, it fundementally cannot be trusted is my point. Even if per my own evaluation I am 100% equivalently the same, I cannot know or trust that analysis to be true.
French speaking is pretty objective imo
brain tumor treatment, they come to you and ask what mm cutoff you're willing to accept surrounding the tumor
close shave 1mm risks cancer coming back 90% of the time
large cut 5mm lowers that risk to 10%
you're choosing blindliy, which of two potential 'you's to create
does it matter
I would choose the procedure with the largest chance of overall survival. Brain cancer is a death sentence if you do not fix it, so it coming back would be not ideal
we can play with the odds, but that's a distraction
ig I'm curious how much you prioritize a small change versus a large one
Thats a mental calculus I'd have to do on a situational basis
is the chance of survival of a more similar 'you' more valuable than a larger variance 'you'
I think I can only quanitify my governing principal as "when possible, minimize risk of death, both in an identity and in a literal sense"
and I try to determine what that actually means as situations arise
yeah, I get that situational hypotheticals aren't the best
just curious overall
I would not be hungry because I ate lunch today though
lkol
ik my take on brain stuff is... out there
I think mine is also out there lmao
because you all shit on my clone philosophy
I think most people are somewhere in between us
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 because you all shit on my clone philosophy
I want to hear more about that
in vc sometime
lol, thanks Rusp
I'll door dash you a frosty, one sec
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr my take is i'm a biological purist until my life is actually under threat, then i don't care, fuck me up
I think that is more or less my ideal view
one day I'll convince you to go halvsies with me on a brain donor Fire
no, but Drone Girl explained to me that it's actually not retarded, and in fact is a good design for gymnasts
the deep cut-lines prevent the pieces from slipping to either side, which is what happens with lower ones that provide "more coverage"
unintuitive facts about girls strike again
great taste in games at least
I like Derek and want Veritasium to be as good as 3B1B is/was
but I think he's kind of on that YouTuber burnout track
His numbers started slipping a couple years ago, and imo he felt like he was never going to reach the peak he wanted to
so he started trying to force it by chasing every pop-science trend and played into the YouTube gimmick game
yeah, I don't want it to come across like I think he is Kurzgesagt-tier
I liked that one
He's also been mostly up-front about it
He A/B tests titles and thumbnails, likes clickbait, sus sponsors, collabs with big YouTubers, start internet feuds, Mr.Beast money games, college campus stuff with girls, "big name" science guys like NdGT and Bill Nye
I also really want to buy his molecule model set
I remember it being expensive, but they look very cool
You know, I can understand how an idiot would reach this order
stars are visually the smallest, they know the earth is a planet and thats massive, so obviously bigger than the moon
Okay, second graders have an advantage
