Same. The vast majority of us are idiots.

What do you mean? The sun gets chased away every night, though I think that gets outsourced to Sköll, a wolf.

Maintaining continuity of consciousness is the only thing that would make me feel comfortable with converting myself to a machine intelligence.

Never dehumanize fascists or fascist-sympathizers (redundant but ok), it's always important to remember that bad faith actors or their stooges are human and cannot be entirely eliminated from society, which is why people that fight for positive change have to set the rules such that bad faith actors' actions are either quickly recognized and mitigated, or have society structured such that even those motivated solely by unempathetic selfishness can only achieve status by masking and contributing positively anyway.

Yep, my point being that a trans man (AFAB) and a cis man (AMAB) both have their bed nucleus of the stria terminalis roughly the same size, twice the size of a woman's. A woman's is half the size of a man's, regardless of whether she's trans (AMAB) or cis (AFAB). So regardless of what the gender is assigned at birth, the relative size of the bed nucleus predicts the gender that the individual feels most comfortable as.

Their bed nucleus of the stria terminalis should be twice as large as a woman's, and that's what guided their gender identities. Not that I'm a biological determinist, just a strict physicalist with no belief in metaphysical choice superceding determinism, but a lot of times the brain's development has recursive feedback loops such that smaller choices early on can alter the size of brain structures along with sex hormones and the development environment in the womb or even outside of it for a while, the earlier the more significant. All I know is that the size of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis is pretty consistently twice the size in men as it is in women regardless of the gender assigned at birth.

Isn't post-quantum cryptography already a thing? Probably not implemented in anything meaningful yet, but still.

Mine is IBM Plex Mono, but the nerdfont 'Blex' variety.

I mean it was 0.01, at that point he was screwed anyway, and he fixed his program.

Very good point, my bad.

The only other fast way to fight it is with violence, but without clear national unity and already decent leadership it usually results in some form of autocracy, making the situation worse.

Edit: violent revolution* usually doesn't work, but violence itself can be rather effective

At least the Joker pays his taxes.
