>looking at history, we can see that different people have different needs

Not sure what history you are looking at, and how loosely you define "needs" and "people", but while I don't contend that different people have different priorities, it should be possible to establish a social baseline adhering to all the fundamental needs any sane person would want to see adhered to.

And just out of curiosity, what exactly is faulty about 4chans social contract, and how is 8chan differing from it?

If you're not happy with discord, no problem. It's the best book club I know of, is all. I tried getting /liberty/ to read more, but with moderate success. Although granted, we got some smart members there already.

Does the group still exist?

Chad Nietzche died of syphilis in the midst of madness from fucking too many whores.

Virgin Stirner died from a bug bite.

>>5619

ideas outside yourself that you conflate with your own interest, is what is meant.

>>5624

Nietzsche actually died of a brain tumor.

Stirner died from being stung by a bee.

>>5625

Stirner truly loved his wives. First one died from childbirth and the kid was stillborn. Second one left him because he was anti-religious.

Did you switch to normalfag because you knew normie was wrong? That's like conceding the point.

seems pretty normal...they will aggregate and use internally but when they fail they will sell your ass out. Seems no different then the telecom companies I'm forced to patronize or every maps app or every program I've paid for or most banks or... thats the world it sucks; call your congressman

>the bible says so

That's not even true. Tell her to point out to you exactly where the causal link is made in the Bible. There is condemnation for homosexual acts, but the punishment always came from humans (under Gods orders), not God himself. Aside from Sodom, Gomorrha and the Flood, that is, but those only happened because EVERYONE was messed up, not just because of gays.

If you take away the Bible as a source for her bigotry, she'll be left with the emotional argument. And in that case, just tell her that she can't assume truth from faith or even conviction alone. It's an easy point to make and an easy point to understand. She likely won't listen because of that, but if you want to stay reasonable and not keep quiet it's the way I'd suggest.

Hurricane katrina was punishment for gays, the 16th richest man said so himself, and why doubt authority?

I know how you feel. My grandmother believes she could have been electricuted when her costa rican shower malfunctioned and lit on fire, and that it's a miracle she lived, therefore God had a purpose for her (providence). She gets insulted and won't listen when you say, "either that or you just got lucky, like I do every day that I walk down a busy street with cars that could kill me."

Just tell her that God is not going to destroy the U.S. Other human beings will eventually do that. But anyway, just tell her that God's kingdom is not of this world, and this world will always be a degenerate cesspool. Any decent christian should know that.

You can ask her if she's ever felt anything in her heart was true and it turned out to be false.

the world will die because humans are slave to material objects

That's a matter of definition. In Christian theology, there are no good men because 'good' is defined by God and us humans are inherently incapable of living up to it. If you want to say somebody is 'good for society' then perhaps an atheist child is more likely to be good than a Christian child, and it is probably a direct result of their beliefs and upbringing. That being said, averages cannot be applied to individuals because averages are collections, and there is no individual that perfectly meets every single average statistic about him/her right in the middle.

if it provides a greater society for all, then they're ok

there is no such thing as good or bad man and whoever says so is full of shit, there can be actions that can be considered evil, though. basically all violence sans self-defense

I think the question hinges on whether you think a person can be misguided while having selfless intentions you could call good.

Nanomachines aren't magic, Anon. When you die, you die for good. His insistence upon nanomachines is nothing more than a wishful thinking fantasy to escape the primal fear of death.

>>5220

this is 100% ignorance. we've been able to live with artificial hearts for years; death is always caused by something, not "old age"

I could go on and on and on but not wasting my time with such idiotic thinking. you can say it's not rational but is a logical possibility. if you disagree you need to read a fucking book sometime

Modern update of Rationalist lopsided tribalist philosophy.

The sequences are a species of too little too late. If you don't already know them, then reading the sequences won't help. They're baldly obvious if you can think clearly. If you can't think clearly, being handed the products of clear thinking merely enable your epistemic insanity.

Robots spontaneously developing consciousness is about as likely as robots spontaneously developing antigravity for hovering.

Remember, intelligence is omnipotence. If you want to live forever, the only barrier isn't the second law of thermodynamics or anything like that, but how smart you are!

Real philosophers treat English like math. Let X = 8. Let 'philosophy' = 'the study of logic.' If it's not precise enough, make it more precise.

Remember that cells ARE nanomachines. Metallic nanomachines will hardly be able to do anything that moist carbon nanomachines can't already do.

E.g. the grey goo scenario literally already happened. Only it was green, from chlorophyll. You may notice the biosphere survived, and Earth is still here.
