The thing is your story seems more to confirm the scientific consensus around consciousness as connected to the physical existence of the brain. You describe how ancient medicine functioned through trial and error. Some times they came up with stuff that worked, more often than not they didn’t, and they had no way of knowing why a cure worked until scientific progress had discovered the underlying explanations for it. So when they found a cure that just happened to work on a certain disease, they would apply it for all sorts of diseases, or lacking proper diagnosis, would mistake other diseases for the disease it worked on and so forth.

It was blind chance without any actual useful theory behind it. Now we have useful theory which explains why consciousness would be linked to the physical cognitive functions of a brain, and less and less that would explain how it could exist without it.

No, both of those still involves some form of brain consciousness. What we don’t have any evidence of is consciousness existing without a physical body.

Now when a Putin simp is leading the country?

Especially compared with his facial expression. He very much look like he is savouring the news.

What a bunch of false nonsense.

Perhaps because the narcissistic lying liar have never cared for anybody but himself, and especially not poor people?

Also he did manage to dismantle federal government, so no more oversight and regulations for corporations. That is a pretty huge win for oligarchs and a catastrophy for basically everybody else, which everybody seems to have forgotten about in the general avalanche of shitshows which has been occurring.

They sure put a stop to that.

As mentioned before in this thread, that is because the rooms themselves aren’t sufficient, investment in social care involved with the operation of them is as important.

The game is forced multiplayer? Yeah, then I’ll pass.

In 2002 they would all have anti-skip, even the cheap knock offs. The skipping was just in the early 90s.

Tankies unable to fathom that you can be critical of both fascism and the authoritarian state capitalism which is China.

Yeah, the vision during the procedure was not an issue at all. The smell of burnt eye as the laser works away was a bit off putting though. I can attest that burnt eye smells a lot similar to burnt hair.

I had my done over 20 years ago, and only needed glasses again this year (and that is only for a very slight correction, I can see fine without them, while 20 years ago I was basically blind without my glasses). I can’t recommend lasik enough, especially for people with very bad eyesight.

Hopefully such people exists, but I am not quite sure they do.

Well, you shouldn’t watch smart tv anyway. Shut off that slop and use your tv as a dumb tv through a computer. The other way is just asking to be exploited.

I view you as the cryptobro of cryptobros. And there aint any nice cryptobros.

Do go on, you are just making dbzero seem like a cooler place.

That is a nice loaded question. So when did you stop beating your wife?

How does that strawmanning work out for you? Does it make you feel clever?
