  • No one is saying some authoritarian force needs to deny procreation rights

  • Yes, you agree on all points? So what is the point of this?

  • If you think that's all that natural selection is

    Are you just arguing for the sake of it now? What's your point here? These replies are so incoherent and riddled with strawmen

    At no point did I claim this to the exclusion of all other factors and you gotta be willfully misinterpreting to come to that conclusion

  • You are seriously missing the point..

    I said we no longer have natural selection removing diseases like it was

    I am not advocating for natural selection/genocide

    I'm saying without action we'll accumulate more, and there's very real things we can do about it either as individuals or as a society

  • It's pretty straight forward to select away almost all cases of Alzheimer's by simply not procreating if you are positive for APOEε4, for example

    No suffering required

  • NanoVNA's are pretty cheap for ~$100-200, though that being said I've only looked at them for ~1GHz work

    1. has nothing to do with the ethics of killing
    2. again, the same (especially if they are kept in good nutrition, shells returned, etc.)
    3. they aren't a person, and that would make all of nature existing unethical

  • That seems to be a map of all farms? How do you filter to factory farms

    Not even just farms, tour companies too?

  • Nothing specific, we just need to acknowledge that if people reproduce with serious diseases the prevalence increases. Medicine is fantastic at saving lives, this is no anti-medicine rhetoric.

    Medicine is so good, and only getting better, that our genetic fitness as a species is going to be progressively eroded through the continued spread of negative mutations.

    Generations will progressively suffer more and be more dependent on medicine to live a normal life compared to now.

    There are two main ways to prevent genetic disease, either don't reproduce or control genetics. Each with their own stack of moral dilemmas. Inaction is also a choice with its own issues and moral concerns, like in the trolley problem, except over such a long period of time the cause and effect is not abundantly obvious

  • They definitely make decisions on their own that can be unrelated or very indirectly related to the prompt, and then act that out on their own

    It's the paperclip problem

    Especially with these new models that are left to run unsupervised for days

  • Why is it inherently unethical to kill and eat animals? Let's say I raise some free range chickens on my land, consume their eggs and occasionally eat one. Why is this unethical?

    I'd argue it's unethical to kill animals inhumanely or to force them to live so long they suffer like we do with many pets

  • We don't really have factory farms in Australia, but holy shit the consistent difference in quality between free range and regular pork MINCE from the same shop is insane
