Isn’t there a proposal that consciousness is a quantifiable gradient, which means that everything capable of performing logic (even basic AND, OR, NOT gates) has at least a tiny bit of consciousness? It’s called phi-star IIRC, very interesting to think about
How did palestine earn the right to the land? Is it because they were living there first before they were kicked out? In that case, I’m unsure how this is different from Zionists claiming that they were there first, or any other group of people who ever lived in the region?
Does land in general rightfully belong to anyone? Isn’t this the same argument Zionists use to justify Israel?
Make sure you don’t care about anything long enough to cause a real change!

Is the US still a month away from running out of oil like Mango Mussolini said a few days ago? Or have they been able to get more oil? Can’t really construct anything underground if you don’t have oil to power construction equipment
It’s kind of an n=1 study I guess, can’t really conclude anything with any litmus test.

There is no “fake intellectuality and garbage dialogue” at all imo. It’s just a game of cat and mouse where two people are trying to trick and one up each other, and it’s not really trying to be anything other than that. Frieren has a higher production quality and better art, but it came out over a decade later so that’s kind of a given. In terms of how well the stories are made, I’d give that to Death Note easily. Frieren has a very good story, but no anime besides Steins;Gate or Code Geass had me wanting to see what happens next like Death Note. I guess it just depends on how much you like thrillers/suspense?
Thanks, I had the feeling that societal and economic characteristics also influenced it but didn’t know how to express it
I suppose it comes down to ingroup/outgroup psychology and the ability to dehumanize your opponents. It’s a shame we still haven’t made it past such basic barriers as a species
Didn’t Rosa Luxemburg have a quote about socialists being forced to deradicalize when participating in bourgeois governments or something like that? (Sorry I can’t seem to find it) I saw it used with regards to Mamdani, I have a feeling the same thing might happen again
Dawg, you did not need to use AI just to make that comment lol. I’m not sure what exactly was obnoxious about the characters of Death Note? I guess they’re dramatic, but that’s part of the fun of the show. Also, Westworld (Season 1, I’ve only seen that) was amazing, with a very satisfying conclusion, interesting philosophical questions, and good plot twists
They’re all abstract, symbolic, and open to interpretation rather than proper conclusions.
This is kind of the point, isn’t it? It asks the viewer to consider interesting questions, e.g. loving yourself and others despite the certainty of pain in life. It’s fair to say that it’s abstract and not for everyone, but it’s far from a bad or improper ending.
I can see the case for season 6 of GoT having worse plotlines than the prior seasons, but the direction and cinematography of those last two episodes were phenomenal, and more than enough to counter any issues with the plot. It’s some of the most excited I’ve ever felt watching a TV show, even if the plot wasn’t as good. I’m not going to defend season 7 and 8, those were at the quality of marvel movies
I strongly disagree with these takes on Death Note, FMAB, and Evangelion, especially considering the fact that the endings of all three were great (counting EoE as the ending for Evangelion, since that was basically its purpose.) What do you mean the premise of Death Note is unbelievable? It’s not trying to be realistic whatsoever; it’s like if I said Harry Potter has an unbelievable premise because magic isn’t real. Seasons 5 and 6 of GoT are great too, the last couple episodes of 6 are the best in the show imo (I said this in another comment)

Jokes aside, won’t DSA be useful for spreading awareness/support of socialism, and provide a platform for all leftists to organize? IIRC DSA has a marxist faction
Why does everyone in this thread hate KDE?
