Hello, I think that Zeno paradox of Achilles and the tortoise fits perfectly here...
-1!
OK, I take that back. The idea that a tortoise is faster than a runner is preposterous and counterintuitive.
Therefore humans can become Minds
Provided that knowledge is not infinite
But of course that is a preposterous idea too, so I take that one back too, I don’t want to provoke the anger of my anonymous friend and get another wedgie.
Folks are encouraged to downvote liberally on LW, but the flip-side of that is that people will downvote where they might otherwise just move on for fear of offending someone or getting into an argument that doesn't interest them. You might want to be less sensitive if someone brings one of your posts to -1 - it's not really an act of aggression.
This is fun! To tell you the truth (my thruth not the absolute one) I dont care. I am having a blast trying to unravel what (and how) most people write here.
Cheers!
