Do chatgpt or other language models help you code more efficiently and faster? Is it worth spending your money for it?

I want to learn more on how the internet came into being. Why is it structured this way? Since the internet kind of stomps on anyone who has anything useful to say with trolling and memes to make that persons arguments null. How does this tyrannical system lives and grows? I wonder, what is socialists and communists strategy to combat short term memory and short attention span that rising among the new generation? I think we need to address the lack of analysis between the internet and human psychology from a marxist perspective.

Well, that's disappointing. There goes my idea of plasma that can freeze water .

It is good for searching trending post. I like how it prioritize the time and user engagement of the post. Also, unlike google search, it shows image which you may find interest in. This might be a niche opinion.

It's not a stupidly easy question. It is extremely hard. Calculating the average temperature of all molecules on Earth is extremely hard due to the vast range of temperatures across different environments, from the Earth's core to the atmosphere. Calculation isn't the problem but collecting data is. You need to collect all the data that distributed widely on earth. Factors like altitude, latitude, and specific conditions in different regions making collecting an accurate data even harder.

I like this idea. You explained it simple enough to be understood and provided relatable examples.

For example, let's say ten years ago someone took a picture of me and I demanded that this picture must not be shared or posted online. Now if ten years later I ask the photographer to send me the picture and I post it online, then the photographer and I broke the rules. I certainly did not get consent from my past self. So now the question of whether or not I am my past self comes up. Most people would probably say yes, but it's still an interesting question.

Interesting. I also wonder why people justify past selves as an identity of us even though we have changed or grew as person while our past selves have already dead.

I'm not trying to dehumanize other people but yes. That's how i see it.

Thanks for your consideration. I'll keep that in mind.

What do you mean by "evolve"? I think my past selves is dead because I can't experience the exact same consciousness of the past selves of me again. Doesn't that count as being "dead"?

Damn. So, we've been lied to all these time that business owners need profits to sustain their business. How did they even hide this basic knowledge from a large percentage of the population?

I don't know how to express or articulate my thoughts and my vocabulary and grammar gets messed up the more I write so I will just write simply.

What I'm trying to say is that every day or hour or minute or everytime you think, you feels like your original selves is dying. I know that we are constantly growing but i just can't stop thinking that whenever we grow or learning new things or start to think differently, our past selves is dead. I think back to my past selves in middle school, highschool and from 2022 and think, aren't they dead? No matter what i do or think or whatever happens to me, i can't bring back the personalities or "me"s from the past. They remain dead and continue to being dead. Unless they are exist in another timeline or universe.

What exactly is identity, consciousness or the self which is me? I don't know nor understand but this idea just stuck in my mind and occasionally appears when I'm bored, stressed or relaxed.

Sorry if this isn't a correct place to ask this question. I don't understand how non-profit organization exist in capitalism because how do they sustain themselves? How do they pay their workers if they aren't generating any profit? Isn't it just volunteering?

First of all, sorry for bad english. I found this post from browsing google because of curiosity and suddenly stumbled upon this post. I think I might have the same question albeit with a bit difference in which i wonder if all knowledge is based on faith. I mean how can we so sure about our sense? Have you ever done empirical test to validate your senses? This become even more weird when we include subjective experience. I don't know. Maybe it was just that I found people's answers to these questions interesting.

Just looking for other answers to this.

How do you know that you know anything? How do you know you can rely on your senses? (As in: I know the rock exists because I can see the rock. How do you know you can see it?)

If knowledge is reliant upon our senses and reasoning (which it is), and we can't know for sure that our senses are reasoning are valid, then how can we know anything?

So is all knowledge based on faith?

If all knowledge is based on faith, then is science reliable?

If all knowledge is based on faith, then what about ACTUAL faith? Why is it so illogical?

Solipsism vs Nihilism

Solipsism claims that we know our own mind exists, where Nihilism claims we don't know that anything exists.

Your thoughts?
