Forsaken world. I don’t play anymore, but back when I did I had two romantic relationships and a bunch of friendships.
I’m playing COD from time to time, mostly because it includes several building from my home city (Stadium, Airport and several more), so event in the game on some extent mirror what’s happening on the streets of my hometown
That’s pretty cool.
You said that you would like to have friend that would tell you to move one when you lost somebody, and explain why it might be best solution.
Oh. There’s been a terrible misunderstanding. I meant that Harry was the sort of friend I’d want, someone who wouldn’t “move on” just because it was the standard script provided by society.
removing some big object from the cluster of stars could also affect all the nearest stars entangled together by gravity field
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system with three stars.
G is the gravitation constant, which is 6.6E-11
M1 is the mass of the first star, the sun, or 2E30kg
M2 is the mass of the second star, Alpha Centauri, or 4E30kg.
r is half of the distance between the two stars, or 4E16m
Put them all together and you get F = (6.6E-11)(2E30)(4E30)/(4E16^2) = 3.3E17. This sounds like a lot, but remember that we’re dealing with enormous masses. Plug that force into f=ma and you get an acceleration of 8E-14. Basically nothing, in other words.
So literally, process of death and birth is one of the main instruments of adaptation and evolution… If you’re going to throw away birth-decay cycle, you will need to compensate somehow tool of nature which ensured species survival for millions of years.
This may be currently true. However, by the time we’ve solved immortality, hopefully we won’t be using DNA anymore. Or, at least, we’ll be able to edit that DNA and fix mutations (among other things). We’re already unlocking this technology. Evolution is [evil](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/MFNJ7kQttCuCXHp8P/the-goddess-of-everything-else#:~:text=your loved ones.-,I am the Goddess of Everything Else and my powers,the end of all ages.”) and the sooner we throw off its shackles, the better.
As for the bug, yes, currently it can be helpful. So let’s call it a feature:)
Let’s not. Death is not a feature; it’s an ugly workaround that’s only necessary because evolution is too stupid to solve the problem directly.
It is hard to argue that humanity makes a quantum leap only on the verge of total annihilation, same way as when child facing a possible humiliating punishment from a parent.
Okay, I misunderstood what you meant by creativity earlier (I thought you meant general creativity, not last-ditch efforts). This is very circular. Death is good because it… prevents death? I reject the entire circle and propose an alternative: fix the actual problem. What’s the problem, you ask? Humanity’s inability to think long-term, which forces us to make those quantum leaps or be annihilated. No, we can’t do this today; yes we will be able to eventually (and if we don’t, we’re probably doomed no matter how much death is around).
It’s not a science at all, i just trying to find some possible scientific explanation to some unscientific stuff like “soul”, and probably i will burn in theoretical hell for doing so. Sure he is, as any living human being that put a lot of effort into building of its consciousness and adding changes into the world which will require much more time show up then human life allows. Pity he can’t join our conversation and share his valuable opinion on controversial questions we have risen here.
Why bother? Just consign souls to the fantasy bin and wash your hands of the whole mess. Don’t you remember the part of the sequences where he explains that if you write your conclusion down first, it doesn’t matter what clever arguments you come up with to justify it?
Some frogs have a natural mechanism called cryoprotection, it surrounds cells with glucose, which prevents them from gradual drying out, which is a side effect of instant freezing. Unfortunately, our cells lack this mechanism.
Yes, our cells lack this mechanism. So what? That’s what technology is for.
Also, I could not even imagine how much pain I would feel if someone freezes my head and then fastens it to another body.
What? Why would you be in any pain? “Fastening” would integrate the nervous system of your head and new body. It’s not like you take the head and staple it onto a neck. No we can’t do this today. Yes we have precursor technology: hand transplants

That’s not how gravity works. The [formula](https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-physics/chapter/newtons-law-of-universal-gravitation/#:~:text=The mathematical formula for gravitational,G is the gravitational constant.) for the force between two stars due to gravity is F = (GM1M2)/r^2.
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system with three stars.
G is the gravitation constant, which is 6.6E-11
M1 is the mass of the first star, the sun, or 2E30kg
