  • Humans are also animals. Part of the animalia kingdom, like everything else of flesh and bone.

    Animals may not be sapient (being capable of human level generalist brain processing), but they’re absolutely individuals with individual personalities.

    You’d know this of you’ve lived with a few cats, or dogs, or worked on an animal farm for any length of time.


  • Should I go down the list of all the dogs that were specifically bred for being hunting dogs, war dogs, or guard dogs?

    That list is absolutely going to be massive and I’m pretty sure it’ll feature a number of dogs you’d otherwise consider lovable family dogs.

    We’re probably going to be left with a handful of breeds meant for puffed up rich floozies that suffer from amalgamated sinus cavities.

    Unfortunately there is a feedback loop somewhere.

    Pitbulls have a reputation for being dangerous tough guy dogs, so “tough guys” get pitbulls and proceed to not treat them well, this give pitbulls the reputation of being dangerous tough guy dogs.

    I live in Copenhagen, however, and I’ve seen some very nicely treated pitbulls, even one that was part of a family. They can be so gentle.

    It’s what I thought of too. It’s because of the premise:

    “Everyone will get what they dream of”.

    OK, so this guy has his dream team of players. I assume they are real people? What about what they want? Surely the entire team doesn’t want the exact same thing in heaven. And yet there they are, part of someone else’s dream team.

    Seems like their agency has been taken away to satisfy one individual.





  • Yes, I do honestly want a computer I can command with my voice. One that understands my needs and the context of the things I say.

    However…

    • That PC should not be tethered to the cloud. It must be capable of doing all that on its own.
    • It should not fold me into some subscription model to some corporate entity.
    • It should be open source and under my control, not opaque and subject to the whims of a corporate entity.
    • No, it doesn’t have to be FOSS. I would pay for it, once. It just needs to be OSS.
