Human brains are just an algorithm, in fairness. Just a vastly more complex and different one than anything we’ve made or probably even imagined so far.

Geez, you’re coming at me pretty hard here on the basis of fucking little.

“in fairness” is not a Redditism, it existed long before Reddit. It’s a figure of speech that intends to convey that I respect the overall sentiment, but that I believe there is a counterpoint that still deserves recognition.

I doubt anybody ever claimed brains are fire or wheels or clockwork. I’d argue the general definition of an algorithm is “bunch of steps that will go from A to B”, and yes, the brain does indeed do that because reality does that. I’m not arguing it’s like a computer program, or like AI, or whatever.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
