I don't disagree with the title of the article but I also don't think you can prove anything about consciousness with language. How consciousness can arise from matter is still a very much a mystery.

That's not a great argument for having an llm in an apocalyptic scenario.

People tend to think they are the thriving hero but most won't survive the first year.

I'd much rather have a USB stick of prepper disk. It works on any shitty machine I find, and it's not going to take days for an answer on how to make potash or fix a solar panel.

It's important to have a spiritual practice to go alongside psychedelics to weather the ontological shock.

This whole article is a categorical error. Whether something is good or not entirely depends on the frame of reference and the context. You can argue endlessly by shifting the topic that 98% is used on. I guess that's what people are doing here.

This is still very much a thing, but the degree of adherence varies depending on the family. I know people that don't follow it, but I also know people who pay part of their income to their elders & some voluntarily invite their otherwise healthy parents to live with them.

I personally think it's a good thing to take care of your parents within reasonable boundaries. However, I don't think the current social structure provides a good framework for this. We don't live in the same village compound in modern times, afterall.
