Is it impossible to have a serious discussion about brain preservation? Arguments are never neuroscience-based: ‘It might not work’, ‘Death is good’, ‘Future is scary’, ‘People aren’t worth it’, ‘Cryonics is good enough’, 'Crazy brain theory du jour', ‘Epstein’s frozen dick’...

Changed my mind, cultural appropriation is not only wrong, it should be illegal and result in life imprisonment. https://twitter.com/foodbeast/status/1380626827434147854

if you collect a block from every corner of Twitter you win and are set free
this is my quest
neural nets are non-grid CA with locally-variable neighborhoods (edge weights)
CA evaluations can be made hyperefficient through adjacency matrix compositions
by leveraging the equivalence posited earlier, you can optimize model evaluation
training is still expensive tho
I wonder how many people realize that neural nets are a special case of cellular automata, and that by studying how to optimize their computation you can achieve a more general solution
y'all know there are other models of computation right? cellular automata (neural nets), probabilistic typed random walks (wang tiles), prob others idk about
the cpu/memory/bus pipeline model is not the only. one possible, but so many of us talk like it's inevitable
the von Neumann architecture set back cybernetics by a century

not counting children or cognitively impaired; i imagine that POW would have no idea. why would anyone tell them?
uncontacted tribes for sure likely; contact status wouldnt change, so no infection
perhaps trafficked laborers as well? same as POW
who else is outside info flows?
how many people do you think out there just straight up don't know about rona? i'd bet there's like. what. at least 100? the world is big. if there's even 1 there's bound to be other, and its basically impossible for it to be 0. hell i wouldnt be too shocked if it was 1k even
this applies tenfold with children, esp for those H+ who are parents. ironically your job is to constrain their choices in ways which conflict with your ideology, in order to steward their minds until they're able to take ownership of them
this is why puberty blockers are bad
to be a proper transhumanist you need to be HIGHLY conservative in certain domains; preserving a healthy mind until uploading is possible should be our foremost goal, and anything which harms people's chances of surviving (in a state worth preserving) should be avoided

Transhumanist opinions that get you into this situation.

a practice of delegating epistemic authority to those blessed by a hierarchy requires inequality and stratified social classes
many of the same people advocate both for obliterating class and trusting science
this is a major contradiction in their ideology
ironically enough both paternalism and market libertarianism require 1, as 2 is likely to lead to either suboptimal outcomes or a tyranny of the unwashed masses, who despise individual rights
only populistic socialism favors 2
there are multiple possible answers but 2 primary are:
1. we can't. votes should be earned thru testing, or made meaningless thru machinations
2. every1's voice is meaningful bc natural rights; they have a right to choose "wrong"
structure of society follows from answer to this
the primary among which being that the ideal of a true Democracy, with universal suffrage, is a pipe dream in an at-scale society which has not yet fully solved scarcity
how can you give everyone's voice equal weight, when people vary in their ability to reason about policy?
over time I've realized that first principles reasoning is a privilege reserved for the elite, those with spare time, energy, & cognitive capacity to make the treacherous, but rewarding, journey from grounding to knowledge
this holds many Implications for social stratification

It's funny (also sad) to note that "Trust the Science" means exactly the opposite of "Nullius in Verba"

it would be nice if there was a way to "tweet at" a list that wasn't a DM
I want to post at a group of accounts that I consider "safe" for some topic. could of course make an alt but that has some friction, and requires rebuilding audience
missed opportunity for Twitter tbh
