I don’t think that, but saying ‘the purpose of life is to live’ implies more life is more better.
Not necessarily, living longer could be at odds with experiences like sky diving or bull running.
Absolutely, that’d lead you to as many partners as possible while discouraging birth control. Plus tangentially it’d incentive trying to reduce the number of children other people have to increase your share of the gene pool. (Which I think is one of the paths you were getting at with eugenics)
How would you prioritize what to experience? By novelty? Or would you be happy to watch every movie ever made?
I mention those because it’s a common trope in fiction for curiosity of experiences to lead down disturbing paths. Slanesh in 40k comes to mind.
Seems like that’s how you’d get murder, cannibalism, sadism, and things like that if you don’t put limits on it somewhere.
I literally put it together in highschool when someone mentioned it to me after learning about how clouds form from nuclei.
General aviation still uses leaded gas almost exclusively. It’s really hard to qualify replacements though the FAA, and airports don’t want to carry multiple fuel types.
Stomp summoned this book from the depths of my memory. Big things in store for those big paws!

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump tariffs: US president says foreign movies to be hit with 100% leviesEnglish
1·1 year agoGood video by Dan Murrel on the subject. There is a colonel of truth in that there has been a race to the bottom for film studios. But this is unlikely to help the situation, and will likely only lead to fewer movies overall.

X to doubt. They are finding inspection passages and construction vaults with cosmic rays which is very impressive and cool! But no internally concealed passages.

1·1 year agohttps://hexos.com/ is also trying to be a low skill low effort version of truenas, but it does have a one time payment. I didn’t think you’d need a nas specific OS for just one storage laptop though, it’s more meant for large home storage servers.

1·1 year agoI would argue the meme is non political, since it’s just a pun on the word. Hence why two different people can have different views on what is political or not.

Another example is fictional character relationships. Are the lesbian relationships in arcane political for example?

I would define more living or truly living as living the Good Life. What that looks like is the fundamental question of philosophy, but I think a component we haven’t touched on yet is helping others. I don’t think we should help other people because it gives us a happy experience, but because it fulfills who we ought to be.
