  • I like to look at who owns a news source and which country it is operating in to get an idea how reliable it might be.

    It is also worth looking at the rethoric: do the headlines seem clickbaity? Do the articles cover more than one side to a story?

    I also look at the kinds of stories a news source covers, and whether it seems like they push some sort of agenda from the things they choose to report on.

    But yeah, I have come to find a bunch of sources I trust, and that I go to for news.













  • I know in Germany murder is still murder if the murdered person consented to it.

    Also, an autopsy isn’t just “randomly cutting someone apart”. The point of an autopsy is to determine a person’s couse of death and doesn’t just involve cutting the dead person open. You being alive means that an autopppsy, by definition, cannot be performed on you.

    What you want is someone to mutilate and kill you. I’m pretty sure you can find someone willing to do that.

    Side note: I think you overestimate how long you will stay conscious when the blood starts flowing, painkillers don’t fix your brain running out of oxygen.







  • Technological progress reduces the amount of work required to perform certain tasks. In any just system, this would improve the lives of the general population, either by reducing the amount of work required to make a living, or by increasing the amount and range of products and services.

    If technological progress does not do that, and instead makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, the problem isn’t technological progress, but the system in which it is applied.

    So what I’m saying is this: AI isn’t the problem. AI replacing employees isn’t the problem. The problem is that with a class divide into investors and workers, the ones profiting the most from technological progress are the investors.
