I find it fascinating how we're so willing to ascribe thoughts, feelings, and motivations to inanimate objects or forces of nature and on the other hand we're so quick to remove all of those attributes from other groups of humans to justify horrible acts done to them.

We're hella cute. But pareidolia is seriously gonna be the end of us when the AI takes over ๐Ÿ˜‚

Even ascribing consciousness into others or ourselves is actually pretty stupid if you think about it.

Stemming from religion there's this idea that human "souls" are somehow special and exist on a plane outside reality. But that's not the case.

We are just semi-rigid blobs of mostly water that grew into weird shapes.

Woah woah there, who you calling a weird shape?

[-] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, round is arguably the most perfect shape
