(mostly !dev) Fuck humans! Really: what a scum bag race. All that shit talk about human dignity, the highest values are just sugar coating the low base motives we mostly live by. Like people have such fine antennas for your income, social status, the power or lack thereof you exert over other. They know it before you open your mouth, that they can pick on you, harass you, because you're the one on the receiving end, the one that bows away. The bullies feel that. On an overcrowded chicken yard you'll find more dignity than in human society.

Everybody drooling over that polished photoshop life on facetubeinsta: materialistic, consumeristic, masturbatic wastage. At least we now say it openly: that if we were the winners, we'd also take it all, live that empty luxury, life of fame. But 99,99% of us, we aren't in that position, just working off our arse to only keep afloat. And for the stars, those fake images, we're just rats to click on ads to better train Google.

No wonder that software, as a picture of human communication is such a shitfest of arbitrary, entropic conventions and endemic epidemic of quirks, bugs and evil trap doors. As a whole: an insults to reason, a challenge to sanity. (...Conway's law)

And I'm still a bit pissed at our profession, that, you know, as engineers, scientists, physicists, we still see us in the lineage of that "great" age of enlightenment and reason,.. while it's all just a cover up. Sure science and their ideas are nice as long as you serve a purpose or make some money. Sure democracy and free speech are great achievements, but in the end some elites and monopolies rule the world at their gusto - and will not stop destroying the world unless we're already one feet in the abyss (like 1962, be we ain't had enough of that shit, hadn't we?)

    I understand your pain but just imagine that evolution doesn’t work as fast as computers.
    We’re probably still more similar to Apes then to “intelligent” beings ( sorry Apes ).
    Moments ago we jumped off the tree and what you expected ?

    Try again after 1 million years and maybe if we don’t kill each other, get destroyed by meteors or robots there will be something interesting happening here.

    I advise you to pick other planet in your next life and stop complaining.

    @vane Or we have drugs to alleviate the situation (also the non-physical ones of religion and culture, to make our mind a happy place)

    @phorkyas yeah, there are studies that try to prove that psychedelic drugs are healing damaged brain cells

    Once you understand that humans are like machines, you will start seeing patterns that they stick to.
    Science never lies. People do.

    @magicMirror About my time. Just cracked an old bottle of: https://youtube.com/watch/...

    (Makes me feel so old: Just realized it was 18 years ago that I cobbled together my first web page - and never touched that stuff again)

    @Gregozor2121 But science is only true if itincludes the borders of its models. For example the laws of thermodynamics explicitly exclude *living objects* - or just anything far from equilibrium.

    In a way you can sometimes see that really explicitly in the physics: as long as the equations are linear everything is well-behaved. Our intuitions, actually the existence of cause and effect like behaviour is tied to that.

    If you enter the realm of the non-linear, well, it's no longer that easy. Solutions of differential equations are no longer superimposable. Little pertubations may have great effects. Yes, you may still maintain that basic law of conservation of energy and stuff like that holds, but.. our "scientific" intuitions might just be wrong. - Like they are already flawed for quantum mechanics (which is even still linear!)

    Finaly a good argument.
    I think you arent 100% correct but i got the point.
    I will think about that. Thanks.

    ...and just think for a moment that these "humans" are the ones designing Artificial Intelligence. To their image and resemblance. That's scary
