Not even that. If you only love something because it's in a specific class then wouldn't that be a condition? You would have to love every possible class of things.
If a demon took over your wife's body, would you love the demon? If not, then one of the conditions for your love is that your wife is not that demon. Would you WANT to love the demon?
Does any of what I'm saying make sense? Don't these count as conditions?
If you don't love every person then your love is conditional on them not being one of those other people. If there are non-person things that you don't love, then your love of them is at least partially conditional on them being a person at all.
I'm telling you, the only way to have truly uncoditional love is if you love absolutely everything. Otherwise you just get love that's conditional on the history you may have with them, or the image you may have of them in your head. Could you ever consider something like that to be unconditional love?
One of the first chatbots was called Eliza and basically just acted as a therapist. It was incredibly stupid, but it actually managed to fool people because it just kept on asking vague questions.
Modern chatbots are similarly vacuous in the sense that they have an unfortunate tendency to shower you in compliments and just repeat whatever you say back at you.
I would not be surprised if the mentally ill and the naive think that counts as meaningful conversation.
I hate bots unconditionally. ❤
It's hilarious actually; the whole reason we invented plastic is so that we had something that doesn't degrade. If plastic starts degrading then we'll stop using it, invent a new material that bacteria can't degrade, and then switch to mass producing THAT.
Loving anything regardless of it's traits.
Otherwise you could say "I loved my wife unconditionally, but she's just not the same person anymore since she got that ugly haircut..."
If you don't love everything then your love is conditional. For example, if you love the color red, then your love is depends on the frequency of the light, and if you love your sibling, then your love is conditional on their identity as a person. Even if you have no other criteria other than that it's red, or that they are the person you always thought of as your sibling, that is still a condition.
Is there another kind?
Of either sex?
This whole thread is gold
Idk, nostr:nprofile1qqs8wakr9493685t725kh2ltgwke4hs400fk8kymslak8eh3g42c3zqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tc7ztvdw always makes it sound like she isn't, but I don't even know who she was, so who's to say?
What even is the point if it doesn't explode? /:
I've never been a CEO, but I can give some ideas I have.
One idea is to prepare for the best and worst possible outcomes. Try to make decisions that will leave you better off in every possible market, even if that means compromising a little profit in the market you find yourself in currently.
Another idea is to value competence very highly. Managing others does not scale. Therefore, whenever you find someone who can manage themselves, hold on very tightly. Don't expect it to happen often.
Alright, that was my shitposting. Again, do whatever you want; I'm just a guy.
?auto=webp&s=2cb7f2f85b185604b762a0278683b33bfec540a3Vegans live off of death just as much as meat eaters. Personally, I am unimpressed by the idea that "consciousness" is what matters or "the ability to feel pain" or whatever shitty cope vegans came up with this week. I draw the line at talking, because you can't expect me to respect your beliefs if you won't even share them with me.
All my silly questions have deep philosophical implications.
There is an ancient legend that speaks of a time when it was used to purchase something...
That's a nice thought, but I pride myself on being able to have honest conversations with immature idiots. #2 would basically cripple my ability to engage with a large portion of the population. If there is a barrier to the conversation, it should pop up organically and it should be transparently due to the other person's actions. If immaturity and idiocy truly make it impossible to have an honest conversation then why obscure that outcome?
