@Kekius_Sage Emergent property so not actually located anywhere.

Where is our consciousness located?

@Kekius_Sage Nothing is real

How do you know anything is real?

@Kekius_Sage We are not even type I.

Will we ever reach Kardashev Type II, or collapse before we even try?

Statistically, you’re probably not real. In an infinite universe, random fluctuations can create a conscious brain with a full set of fake memories. Which means you’re more likely a drifting mind in the void than someone who actually lived a life.

@Kekius_Sage There is no reason for you to come to that conclusion when you have a planet sample of 1. Universe is a big place. Better question to ask is why have we not encountered other conscious beings. What even is consciousness.

Why is consciousness so rare in the universe?

@SandileKaMsibi @MbalulaFikile This is such a winning comment.

I would love to see the new towns mushrooming and the smart cities you always promise actually getting built. Then you can slap whatever names you want on them. That would be your biggest win, your biggest flex and the ultimate slap in the face for those who hate you. Right? The renaming is kinda weak.

The apparent rejection of renaming of Graaff-Reinet after Professor Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe must be condemned. It is unfortunate that 32 years after our democracy built on reconciliation and tolerance of our diverse cultures we still have some groups who are opposed to nation building and cultural reconstruction. Standardization of geographical names is central to cultural diversity , spiritual healing and decolonisation of African heritage . Places which have offensive names remind those who were oppressed the brutal oppression and cultural subjugation. Those who came to settle in our land did everything in their powers to wipe out the heritage and cultures of the indigenous people. It is now time for all peace loving South African to embrace total transformation of our society and accept that some geographical place names must be standardized.

@zilevandamme Of course there is no tariffs. China is a major exporter to South Africa not an importer. The only country winning there is China.

In the meantime, China:

@Kekius_Sage Discovered it. It was always there. We invented a way to describe it.

Did humans invent mathematics or discover it?

@drtristankapp Log error here. You're a sample set of n = 1. Simply because you haven't experienced, doesn't mean others don't. I'm in a foreign country because several recruiters told me to my face I can't be hired because BEE. You dissing Elon = pointless. How many rockets have you built?

Whenever I see such propaganda, I always think to myself: I’m white. I’m male. I’m Afrikaans. Why am I not experiencing these “oppressive race laws” or “anti-white discrimination”? Then I remember, I’m not a pick-me doos; I appreciate & make the most of SA’s diversity! 🇿🇦

@GodPenuel I agree with all this. Great take.

The most important book you'll ever read: Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell The most important movie you'll ever watch: The Matrix The most important speech you'll ever watch: Why Humans Run The World by Yuval Noah Harari The most powerful tool on earth: Language

@pureMetatron Correct. It has to do with evolution and mate selection. Men really don't care how women dress, however women care how women dress. We constantly compete against each other and we can be rather mean to each other as well.

Fact.

@IterIntellectus Insane. Sigh and it gets reinforced in the corporate world as well where I am told to do 5 minute micro learning sessions on my phone with the excuse that it's convenient. I take it as an insult. PhD in molecular biology reduced to 5 minute tik tok phone questions for a metric

the hardest filter in the modern world is the ability to sit with a problem for more than 15 minutes without checking your phone that's it. that's the entire competitive advantage now

@IterIntellectus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

just pulled up to the gym and instantly framemogged every chopped claviclecel in the building to oblivion. they were coping hard with their 135lb “warm-ups”. I loaded 225 and banged out 15 clean reps for 3 sets. the whole got hit with a nuclear cortisol spike 😭💀 bro in the corner literally aged 5 years on the spot, hairline recessed another norwood, aura points to the roof. one subhuman tried to eyemog me but got heightmogged + wristmogged + skullmogged at the same time and just jestermaxxed his way out the door pretending to take a phone call.

I was born in South Africa. My first ancestors on my fathers' side arrived here in 1678. On my mothers' side the first one arrived in 1708. I am not European. My language is not European. My culture is not European. No European country is my home and none of them see me as theirs. Africa is my home. My loyalty is to Africa and to every freedom-loving African nation. That loyalty is not automatic obedience to government. No government owns me. No government rules me. Government is a servant of the people, not their master and it should be treated as such. I support the Springboks and all South African sportsmen and teams. I would love them all to wear the Springbok as the Springbok is a sugn of a winning attitude against all odds. I don’t care for soccer—but when South Africa plays, I support the South Africa team. I judge people by character and actions, not skin colour. I want South Africa to prosper, not implode under ideology and corruption. I hate crime in all its forms. I do not believe any country has a default right to exist. I do not believe any system of government has a default right to exist. Nations and people earn legitimacy by serving freedom, not demanding submission. All men are born equal in one thing only: None of us chose our skin colour, just as we did not choose our eyecolour, length or number of toes. Just as my ancestors chose to become Africans, so do I. I reject completely and without apology any man or any government that dares tell me this is not my truth, my reality, or my home. I am African. Author unknown.

@Ryanair Should I buy Ryan Air and put someone whose actual name is Ryan in charge?

Dying your hair “unnatural colors” is associated with depression and mental instability. Interesting.

💯

@pureMetatron 💯 Correct

Social science is not science. Agree or prove me wrong.

Imagine being the Manager Main Peanut of #MillhouseKitchen at #LourensfordEstate, berating a waitress within earshot for accepting a walk-in party of 7, said party thus walking out, and spending their Euros & A$ elsewhere. Sad.

True.
