There’s nothing special about red meat.

Again? How many hats did they have? More importantly, how many do they still have left?

That’s the scary part. There is a infinitely small probability that the state of maximum entropy will spontaneously organize in anything, right? Even into the exact form of you sitting in front of a computer and reading this comment. So on a infinite time scale at some point you will just pop out of nothing and suffocate in a vacuum, basically teleported from this very moment into future.

But not really because the universe as we understand it today has some limits on what it can organize itself into, right? So in the end we can end up with just cold emptiness forever. (if I understand all this correctly)

Of course, if we can prove those theories and we will know our universe will eventually give birth to a new one we won’t have to destroy it. But if we prove that the future is just infinite emptiness I think we should.

You really think the most powerful beings in the universe decide the fate of humanity based on my lemmy comments? Thanks. For a moment there I thought no one cares what I think.

What entity told me we don’t know where life originated? This question doesn’t make any sense.

I mean that no one cares about what has to say on international level. The only Spaniard holding any significant position in EU is Teresa Ribera. Spain is consistently skipped when handing out important offices. All calls from Spain to sanction Israel are simply ignored. It’s opposition to Trump also doesn’t lead to any actual influence on EU policy. It’s sad but Spain is not sitting at the main table in EU.

No idea what rich British living in Spain have to do with any of it.

Sadly no one cares about Spain. It’s trying to be a bridge between EU and Africa and South America, it’s trying to stand it’s ground in EU doing all the right things, the government is fairly effective locally and in EU but in the end it’s all about money. Germany is fumbling as a EU leader for about a decade now, France is struggling internally, UK doesn’t have any feet left to shoot itself in but they are still the ones calling all the shots.

Why not both?

“So the ultimate end of the universe comes much sooner than expected, but fortunately it still takes a very long time,”

I still think we should destroy it. We basically have to options here:

1. The universe decays and turns into huge, cold void that can’t support any life an last forever
2. We destroy it and hope that new universe will be created out of nothing again

Option 1 is certain death. With option 2 there’s at least some hope for a new beginning.

Of course we don’t have a way to destroy the universe yet but we have 10^78 years to figure it out. Once we have the means to start some chain reaction that rips space time itself and destroys the entire universe we should do it.

It’s not like the CEO will have to pay for this…

I remember reading that. It was 30 years ago so I may be remembering it wrong… We had this as a assigned reading in school but only the first chapter or something. It was in our textbook kind of as a short story. So we read only the part about the kid dying without knowing the story continues. I later found the entire book somewhere and kept reading and hey, the brothers met again in the magic world. I don’t remember them dying at the end or anything else for that matter. It was one of the least traumatizing books they assigned us. In most Polish books and novels some kid dies, or some animal dies, or there’s war, or concentration camps or some other torture.

Title?

I didn’t say NO physical activity. Just don’t make it more important than actual school. No idea where you took “no culture” from. You think you can’t research information on culture? Just again, don’t make drama clubs more important than school. Memorization should definitely be present, I didn’t say school should be filled with it.

What I was trying to describe is similar to project-based learning used in Finland. If you haven’t heard about it it’s worth researching.

I didn’t know that one. I use vi all the time but my brain can’t handle it in the command line. Two different muscle memories clash.

Here’s a real shell trick for you:

Remove the arrow keys from you keyboard for a month or two.

Seriously, do it. Do you know how to jump to the beginning of the line? The end? Move one word back? One character back? After a month without arrow keys you will know, trust me.

Everyone? Nothing. People have different tastes. Everyone should read the books they like.

So what is the probability of life emerging? How can you estimate it when we don’t know how, where or when it emerged? We have some theories, sure, but there’s still huge gaps in them. Did it emerge in primordial soup (itself just a hypothesis) or in the hydrothermal vents? We don’t even know if it originated on Earth at all. What specific conditions are needed for it to emerge? We don’t know. How common those conditions are? We don’t know. What’s the probability self-replicating molecules forming? We don’t know. And so on and so on. We know one part of the equation, that the universe is big so even if the chances are tiny it should have happened multiple times but we don’t know just how tiny they are. So yes, we’re just guessing.

Someone asked me if some entity told me that it doesn’t first. Did you miss that part? What I’m saying is that everyone is just guessing here. Both claims are equally valid or equally “induces by substances”.
