    Google search results are often completely unrelated so it’s not any better. If the thing I’m looking for is obscure, AI often finds some thread that I can follow, but I always double check that information.
    Know your tool limits, after hundreds of prompts I’ve learned pretty well when the AI is spitting bullshit answers. Real people on the internet can be just as wrong and biased, so it’s best to find multiple independent sources

    thankfully modern ones like molten salt reactors have passive safety, where they stop the reaction if overheating occurs.
    edit: My mistake, there’s no active commercial molten salt reactors.
    But nuclear power is very safe nowadays because of the multiple fail-safes, which some can still be passive like emergency cooling.
    I much rather get electricity from magic rocks than destroying rain forest in developing countries drilling oil, gas or mining coal.
    The biggest risk in nuclear is environmental disasters like in Fukushima’s case, which is the last significant nuclear incident in past 13 years





  • Same thing with alcohol prohibition. People are going to break the law, legal or not. The US is said to be the freedom land, but women can’t have autonomy over their bodies.
    What I gathered is that 70% of the US congress is men, so it’s not their freedom that they sacrifice.  
    Christian values are important to some voters, so politicians can gain free points by promising anti-abortion laws.  
    The politicians who make such decisions think one term at a time and disregard the consequences as long as it doesn’t affect them. If they actually cared, they would also advocate for childcare benefits.



  • I believe abortion is killing, but it only becomes murder by definition if abortion is outlawed. The literal definition is “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.”
    The fetus won’t have cerebral cortex till +12 weeks; no consciousness. So it wouldn’t be much different than killing a plant or bacteria. It’s debated when it becomes a human.
    Yes, I justify murder as it will likely reduce the suffering. Thus, I am a monster in Christians eyes.








  • Yes, my parents used to have chickens. It’s unlikely that the incubation period would be 9 months and being oviparous has It’s own challenges. If humans did evolve that route I’d imagine that we’d have overcome most of the issues. Dinosaurs being one example, it’s possible humans would be cold blooded and have learned the joy of regurgitation. It comes down to speculation whether human like intelligence could have evolved with these limitations.
