I'm suggesting that you have every right in the world to have as many children as you want, but I'm hoping other readers might come along and read this and realize that what I'm really saying is that by each of us _voluntarily_ choosing not to exercise our right to make another person on this planet, we're making life better for all the other life on this planet, including your (Aryeh's) magnificent children."<br /><br />At least that's what I got from this very vigorous exchange. But hey, I don't have a PhD in philosophy or anything, so I might have missed something.<br /><br />😊Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811876938195306723.post-342549776031324392022-11-19T17:53:21.679-08:002022-11-19T17:53:21.679-08:00Thanks great bblogThanks great bblogWindow Cleaning Jamaicahttps://www.window-cleaning-service.com/us/new-york-window-washers/window-cleaning-jamaica.shtmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811876938195306723.post-45777375353076890732022-03-14T13:22:07.151-07:002022-03-14T13:22:07.151-07:00Hi nice readding your postHi nice readding your postTysonhttps://www.tysonholt.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811876938195306723.post-8620779545694961512022-02-24T09:52:12.910-08:002022-02-24T09:52:12.910-08:00Hi thanks for posting tthisHi thanks for posting tthisTysonhttps://www.tysonholt.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811876938195306723.post-38115025332646440382020-12-20T23:19:51.388-08:002020-12-20T23:19:51.388-08:00Amazing Article !

When U simulates T, it provides a simulated tape for T (using a portion of U's tape), and translates all T's legal actions, modifying the simulated tape accordingly. The description of T is kept in a different part of U's tape, which T has no way to access.<br /><br />In practice, programs in most languages could access their own source code if they know where it is (and some languages provide built-in ways to find it), but if a language has a compiler, people expect compiled executables to run correctly even if the source code is stored elsewhere (or even deleted).<br /><br />Basically, a program's ability to access its own source code directly depends on quirks of the language and environment, and assuming it in proving general results about computability will weaken those results unnecessarily.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542077853371907779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811876938195306723.post-51612542167837577712014-08-16T18:24:09.525-07:002014-08-16T18:24:09.525-07:00I don't pretend to defend them, but I do want ...I don't pretend to defend them, but I do want to say one thing.

Which group does the future belong to? What does this say about the effectiveness of the VHEMT agenda?</em><br /><br />This argument is based upon the assumption that children will always inherit the agenda of their parents. This can be demonstrated to be false in a topical way: my parents chose to breed, and I (as a VHEMT supporter) choose not to. Therefore, ideas do not spread only by inheritance. Or, to put it another way: memes are not genes.<br /><br />I'm not naïve: I don't expect that the VHEMT will succeed, either with or without my help. But that doesn't make them wrong.

I knew someone who refused to be happy because there are so many people whose lives were so miserable. Clearly this does no one any good.<br /><br />We can't each give up, for example a kidney, to alleviate others' suffering. In my case I need both to process the beer I enjoy. I could stop buying beer and send the money to organizations which help couples avoid conception, and thus prevent a few children from starving to death. We all make choices about how to help humanity and/or our environment, and how far we go is a personal decision. The Buddha is supposed to have fed himself to a hungry lioness with cubs. This isn't practical in our modern world. <br /><br />You ask, "Why should I deny myself my G-d given right (actually, a positive commandment) to progeny, and instead devote myself to the progeny of others?" <br /><br />Some activities have more impact on society and the environment than others, so when making choices we might weigh the costs vs benefits. The single greatest impact, way beyond our dietary, transportation, and energy usage choices, is creating a new human being with a lifetime of doing what we do. <br /><br />It's similar to the companion animal situation in the US: there are millions more dogs and cats than there are homes for them. One slogan: "Don't breed or buy while others die." When someone breeds their dog, even though they find homes for each puppy, it means existing dogs have to be euthanized due to a lack of homes. <br /><br />Humanity's situation isn't as direct, so the comparison doesn't fit exactly. However, considering what it takes to support the lifestyle we're accustomed to in over-industrialized regions, and how much of that comes at the expense of those living in regions where child mortality is high, there's at least some connection. It's something to consider, anyway. <br /><br />You're right, we don't have to adopt children in need in order to make sure their needs are met. I would say, "Don't breed 'em, feed 'em."<br /><br />I came across this quote from George Bernard Shaw: "No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means." He's exaggerating, of course, but it's tempting to pick passages which support what we think. I know that's what I do.Les U.

Of course I would help such a child to the best of my ability -- within reason (see below). I probably wouldn't <i>adopt</i> this child, but as someone who also hasn't adopted any children, I don't think you'll be calling my morality into question on this point.<br /><br />The gap I am failing to bridge is in your implied syllogism: The existence of a starving child anywhere makes it unethical for me to have a child of my own. That makes about as much sense as impugning the act of eating as long as there is hunger in the world. Why should I deny myself my G-d given right (actually, a positive commandment) to progeny, and instead devote myself to the progeny of others?<br /><br />Have you donated a kidney to a dialysis patient, Les? How do you justify your walking around with two functional kidneys when there are so many dying people desperately waiting for one?<br /><br />I am curious how a moral individual (which you no doubt consider yourself) can ignore the suffering of all the dialysis patients.Aryehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913393383227385317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811876938195306723.post-57955531885446028892010-10-13T06:29:59.968-07:002010-10-13T06:29:59.968-07:00Aryeh, you wrote, "Your post provides a stark...Aryeh, you wrote, "Your post provides a stark illustration of just how vastly different our value systems are. Which is perfectly fine, except for your insistence that yours is somehow more logical, rational or ethical." <br /><br />If I gave you that impression, I misspoke. Since they are about the same, one can't be more logical or ethical. It seems to me we have the same value system, though it comes from different sources. You wrote: "The Torah commands me to love my neighbor as myself, so some form of altruism is clearly G-d's commandment." And I got the same thing from life. It's our application that differs. <br /><br />I was curious as to how "a highly moral individual, with a sophisticated, deeply grounded and well-reasoned philosophy" could ignore "neighboring" children's needs and instead create more children to care for. "I know all about the starving children and am still making the moral, thought-out choice to have my own." Apparently our interpretation of "love thy neighbor as thyself" differs. <br /><br />I have not adopted any children, rather, I support efforts to help couples avoid conception when they want to. The goal of preventing children from starving to death may be achieved by feeding them or by not creating them. <br /><br />"Look over our conversation. Every time you are asked to justify something, you create a new principle out of thin air. Don't you realize that having an unlimited supply of such principles is no different than answering 'I just feel like it'?"<br /><br />I'm happy to use whatever moral principles others hold dear. Except for the sociopaths, et al, I mentioned in the beginning of our conversation, it seems to me we all have the same basic moral principle when it comes right down to it. Sometimes it takes a while to get right down to it. <br /><br />I use that principle to justify my not breeding and to recommend voluntarily phasing out our species. Your application of that same principle leads you to the opposite. We aren't likely to change each other's conclusions, but perhaps others will gain some insights by reading our discussion -- unless we've lost everyone a few pages back. <br /><br />Would you agree that we've arrived at the conclusion of this discussion?Les U.
