“Don’t touch the poop”.

He did make some 💰. The article says the videos sold for hundred of pounds. So it was likely a lucrative hobby.

Another point: Everybody has something to hide from somebody. No matter who you are or what you believe, there’s somebody who wants you dead for it.

Do you have the link to the paper?

What does guide your morality? I personally like the idea of virtue ethics, but so far I haven’t had time to properly familiarize myself with the concept. My understanding is that a virtue is a character trait that promotes human flourishing, and actions are good if they align virtues.

I’ve heard it’s like, if you survive 3 executions, it’s a sign that God wants you to live.

If you beat him, he’ll be a martyr. I think using a loud buzzer every time he tries to preach would work better.

“Taking a life” is an euphemism for “killing”. It’s not like you get your victim’s remaining lifespan when you kill them. Life isn’t taken, it is destroyed.

If the dispute between the US and Canada were to escalate into a war, the US would loose at this point.

Artificial Superintelligence has been achieved, and nothing has changed. Eliezer Yudkowsky must be feeling pretty dumb right now.
