I was born with a rare disorder. In the year of my birth only two other children were born with it anywhere on earth. Because of this, the first 15 years of my life were spent in doctors offices and operating rooms. People like Ms. Siddiqui would look at my medical history and say that it would have been better "for me" that I never existed for all the pain and challenge that I - and my family, let's be clear - had to go through. And yet, I do exist - a fact I am rather happy about. Life has been far from perfect but it has been a life, and where there is life there is hope. Ms. Siddiqui advocates for death and nihilism under the guise of compassion. These are lies. At the heart of this is a darkness that few can truly comprehend. It is a thanatos, a death impulse. Pray for Ms. Siddiqui, and for all the unborn souls whom she and those of her ilk will never allow to know life.
What if your baby never walks? What if they are never able to live independently? What if you could have stopped it… but chose not to? That’s the question @OrchidInc’s embryo screening forces. You optimize everything… career, diet, skincare… but you’re going to chance it on your child’s genome, one of the most significant determinants of their health?

How do men take care of their mental health if they don’t talk to friends about their struggles and don’t find a therapist helpful?

Exactly. I make looking over others’ shoulders and copying their exam answers part of every class so that doing so is not cheating.
Replying to @zenahitz
OSU has the right idea. Try to make it part of every class so that using AI is not cheating.

I love science, man’s unending quest to just shrug and accept stuff
What is consciousness? Many see this as the deepest mystery. My guess: One day, when digital systems claim to have inner experiences, we will just shrug and accept that consciousness accompanies sufficiently rich and robust information processing.

Rob Rinder asks Steve Reed how much would it cost to renationalise the water industry? He says £100bn. Rinder points out this figure came from the water companies It wouldn't cost anything if we fined the companies into bankruptcy & then took them over. Why isn't Lab doing that?

Statements like this should make you more skeptical of how our society approaches statistical analysis and draws conclusions from it, rather than coming to disbelieve stuff which is clearly visible if you have one single ounce of serious social perception

Pixar movies have really gotten terrible. Back when I was 8 they were awesome. Now I’m 37 and they don’t interest me at all. You hate to see that kind of decline.
Pixar needs to fire whoever is making (some of) their movies look like this. The style is so obnoxious.
