My language is really similar to Tamil, actually. But Koreans are more influenced by Confucian beliefs. It’s not really a religion, but more of tradition.
It just shows we were connected before when our ancestors crossed paths.

oh really.
ur language is similar to tamil, is it? is it common knowledge there and has info about it been found out? very interesting.
i agree in the past cultures from different parts of the world borrowed from each other.
There was a proposed theory that Tamils and Koreans met. But I’m not entirely sure how it turned out for both languages to have different ethnic groups and not just one.
The Nepalese culture is in a way similar to Korean culture, and Chinese culture and Korean culture are very similar as well.

ok so the two cultures met.
the nepalese r more or less like indians, i think they share the same religion too and if u r saying nepalese culture is similar to yours then it must match a bit with indian culture too.
I think Indian culture has a lot of elements of Hinduism but Korean culture has a lot of elements of Confucianism. But we’re both Asians, right? So we’re not far off genetically.

yes indian is basically hinduism but no confucian here.
yes and since we r both asians we must be close genetically
Probably. We all started from Africa thousands of years ago and then our ancestors met a lot of people from here and there, and moved from different places. That’s why we all have different skin colours. I have a friend from India, but we’ve unfortunately had no chance to meet because of COVID-19.

Or, you know, completely standard non-religious beliefs.
The truly religious belief is to claim “being your soul”, not to have one. Of course against that you could always bring up the ‘bodily resurrection’ claims made by some religious groups. In the end is just semantics, we use the word soul in a thousand different ways and most of the time we make ourselves understood.
I only have one soul: a soul between my cheeks
I’m hoping to discard this rotting meatbot and upload myself into The Cloud.

Personally I’m looking forward to the end of rotting meatbots altogether.
Funny how all the people who desire the death of all humans never lead by example.

I definitely would if it came to that. But humanity still has to develop an AI that is powerful enough to replace it.
But it wouldn’t you who is uploaded but a copy of you/your mind.
That’s a fairly extreme view held only by the most evangelical of singularitarians. And it’s riddled with lots of pretty fundamental problems. (this is just a personal view on a topic I’m passionate about, not a personal attack). Can I propose a thought experiment without you getting offended?
Imagine there is another Earth in a different galaxy. This Earth has had an identical history to our own, the same species, the same mankind down to the last individual. There is one significant difference though, they had a headstart and they are in this very moment a 100 years into would be our future. They create AI - the same AI we’d be creating a 100 years from now- and their mankind chooses to go extinct.
Would discovering the existence of this other Earth and learning about its history up to the advent of AI render our own mankind automatically obsolete? If so, at which point?
Could our ‘replacement’ objective be regarded as having been already fulfilled in our world by developments on the other Earth? If not, why?
I’ve been playing with this little thought experiment for a long time, in fact it obsesses me. Perhaps the only thing I’m absolutely clear about is that the relationship between the 2 events that make up the “great replacement” (AI and voluntary extinction) is far more problematic than first suggested. In fact, an argument for one could never be automatically considered an argument for the other.
Glad it can’t take my soul.

The “treatments” can take our brains too…
From the article “We found that the mean reduction in cortical thickness caused by 36 weeks of exposure to olanzapine is equivalent to loss of approximately 1.2% of a person’s cortex”.
And to think I was on olanzapine for 17 years…
