Totally normal question to ask, regular poll choices
Should move to Argentina, heard they're abolishing the age of consent.
They're reducing the election of a free market extremist in Argentina into "haha libertarians are pedos" jokes.
Indeed, the people most likely to be welcoming to them are market radicals and if your worldview revolves around "everything must be allowed", then legalizing that is likely to happen.
When I was in grad school, my advisor used to respond to any question that began "Imagine a possible world where.." by just stopping the questioner and saying *no, I'd rather not."
Imagine a world where you didn't have to listen to these stupid questions
Imagine the american president is 100 years old and dying of dementia. His last wish is one more genocide. Is it ethical for the Zionist Entity to do one?
Yes, but only if the genocide is of only the bourgeoisie
if i ever hear someone say the phrase "free speech" again I'm dunking their head in the toilet
“Imagine a possible world where someone said it ironically”
sneerclub had a moratorium on threads about her because she posts like this with fulltime dedication
I wonder if he chuckled when he realized he could just shove Ron Paul in front of anything he wanted if he kept the last letter the same. Amazing wordplay.
The most euphoric STEMbros I've ever known insisted they were superior artists, poets, and writers to anyone in the humanities because the humanities taught nothing of importance that STEM couldn't produce with STEMlogic alone
Look upon the works of STEMlogic, ye underwater basket weavers, and despair
An increasingly hingeless tech bro trying to apply the golden ratio to sentence structure and create the mathematically perfect novel.
The CEO of "Soylent" bragged about developing a perfect dating algorithm that would ensure he would get laid by choosing the correct things to say in offline "dialogue trees."
I bet that dude thinks Persona is an accurate representation of how to make friends. Jfc
I've met people that actually fucking said that: that the Secular Calvinist Protestant Work Ethic, Animoo Edition shit pushed in some of those games was actually a basis for how to date and how to live life. You know, hustlegrinding their way to a harem that mysteriously doesn't seem to happen without hiring sex workers or going to magical rich people islands.
I deliberately try to do that with various politicians for shits and giggles, e.g. Joedolf Bidler, Donaldolf Drumfler, Vladimirdolf Putler.
The infinite potential of the human mind and these fools are trying so hard to find justifiable ways to engage in csa.
The fantastical Singularity(tm) of eternal life and godlike superpowers must maintain 1950s aesthetics, including the normalization of hurting children.
It was already a really weird hypothetical, then it just got weirder. Why do they always have to make it weirder?
I suppose it's just what happens when your brain is uncucked and can finally unleash its full power.
Or something.
Reality has a radical bias so you can't really rely too heavily on it to argue for reactionary ideas. Instead they construct elaborate thought experiments and try to reason themselves into the position they want to arrive at from first principles. Being disingenuous jackasses that reasoning always ends up being deceptive and irrational.
Good point, a lot of the most hardcore "true believers" in this stuff are extremely good at rationalising their own shitty behaviour and making themselves feel like they've "figured it out" when all they really did was find a bunch of vaguely intelligent sounding excuses.
Get a capital-R "Rationalist" talking long enough and they will eventually talk about any conceivable scenario where they think it might be okay to harm children.
If you frame it as “terms of a consensually signed contract” they’ll agree that just about anything is acceptable.
