You sure? Sounds like a nice tickle.

For that rhyme you deserve a nickel!

Is that you, Eren?

Try running an AI Horde worker, it’s a really great service!

I know what emergent properties are, though not sure how that relates to anything I said? You mean the part about consciousness?

If so, the sentence you’re looking for is this one:

consciousness arises out of the complex interaction of various component parts working together. No individual neuron is responsible for the processing of information or the experiencing of emotions, this is only possible through the linking of millions of neurons together

I never claimed a single neuron is responsible for consciousness, but if you’re trying to imply that it’s somehow magical, your own source says otherwise.

Time and gravity are not abstract ideas, both are measurable like temperature and weight. One is a property of space-time itself, the other is one of the fundamental forces, very likely caused by a physical particle.

Life is simply a bunch of chemical reactions tied together in a way that allows us to think. There’s nothing beyond the physical form, even your very thoughts are tied to the chemical reactions in your brain.

If you want a proof, simply look at anyone who has had a dramatic shift in personality after a head trauma. If there was a “soul” (or whatever you want to call it), wouldn’t their personality remain the same?

It’s such a classic, I say it every day to myself when I wake up.

Eh, that’s your opinion.

Pride is like the defining trait of the Christian god. Same with greed and selfishness, oppression of the poor (it literally gives you instructions on how to handle your slaves, what’s their worth etc.), along with oppression of women.

Rape is literally shown as a good thing in some parts.

But hey, I can’t remember anything about lying and adultery from the top of my head.

Christianity is all about absolute dictatorship. Or is it coincidence that all the MAGAs are Christians? That the Pope is surrounded by gold while saying how we should treat the poor well?

That is not Fediverse specific. That’s general internet behaviour.

Congrats, you lived in a social bubble. As we all do. Your sounds fun, so cherish the memories and don’t pretend your experience is universal.

The spam is intentionally very bad. The first contact is very cheap, while scamming the person requires effort. They’re not targeting smart people. They’re not targeting average people. They’re targeting people who will fall for obviously bad spam. Those are worth the (costly) effort that starts at phase 2 and requires more attention.

Sure, the Fediverse is not Lemmy. But I’m using Lemmy. I also use Mastodon. Both are vastly different experiences despite being based on the same protocol.

Wow, you’re that kind of troll. Okay, enjoy your day and happy trolling!

You realize the software most of us here use is literally called Lemmy, right?

Sounds plausible.

Counterpoint: I’m literally pooping right now and I’m not the person you replied to.
