  • The grand hilbert hotel is a metaphor about infinity. If a hotel has an infinite number of rooms, it will have enough room for him. If every room is full, they can all still move up by one room number. Infinity means you can always shift everyone up by 1 room number.

    The ship of theseus is a philosophical question about whether it’s still the same ship after having every board and nail in it replaced over centuries of repairs gradually replacing all of its parts.

    Asking if Sisyphus is happy is a reference to a famous Albert Camus (French absurdist philosopher) quote “One must imagine Sisyphus happy”



  • So first of all, you shouldn’t involve yourself in your friend’s business. Fraud is generally frowned upon.

    But secondly, you know that ChatGPT was trained on the entire internet, right? Like, every book. I don’t think “more books” is gonna help.

    I hope you take your computer skills and make something of yourself. Try not to get any more involved in this scheme, seriously. You don’t need this crap marring your reputation.

    Besides, there are better reasons/ways to fight the system than helping other people avoid learning.






  • No, I was genuinely guessing at what you were getting at, since you were alluding to one particular unnamed nation that relies heavily on slave labor. IDK if you opened that article, but it’s from last month and is a major report by the AP, so US slave labor’s been on my mind because I read the news.

    You then seemingly got annoyed at my guess and decided it was some sort of debate. I pointed out why my guess was reasonable and now you’re trying to take a victory lap because I apparently annoyed you by not being a goddamn mind reader.

    Seriously, you’re acting like I’m the one with the attitude here and all I’ve done is reflect yours back to you in one comment because you acted like I don’t know what slavery is. But I’m the one being an asshole?











  • I’m not sure the US has the greatest track record when it comes to those sorts of occupational wars, realistically. I think the only times we’ve ever really seen it turn out well is maybe in vietnam, where we actively just like, lost the entire war and got sent packing, and they’re still having to deal with the ongoing problem of their country being contaminated by chemical incendiary weapons that produce larger percentages of birth defects.

    Not disputing anything you said about Vietnam, but we did alright with Japan and South Korea.
