Hmm. An ant colony might count as a single organism. But I see your point.


Did you see that recent tv show Pluribus? They were basically Jains. Radical nonviolence.


I once read a science fiction story. It was hundreds of years after ww whatever. All the animals were dead except for humans. So we differentiated our species into humans and cattle. The cattle humans were, as you might expect, beastile. There was even a sex scene.
Probably Philip Jose Farmer.


Ya I was thinking along those lines too. Or biological testing.
And what if you were a diehard “they’re just animals”, and then they spoke. Would you hang yourself?


Jesus that’s dark.
I was just contemplated whether civility stems from respect or force. I guess that answers that.
Next time I’ll ask, “what if we gave all thevanimals machine guns?”


I’m thinking it would be gesture controlled. Wifi tracking of the tongue or somesuch.


Well I don’t know if you understand words the way people do either. It’s a gray area.

But how about the title question. You got anything to say about that? Riots? Shame-induced mass suicide?


I can’t believe you actually banned me. What a narrow flaccid pudding.


If you offer a party guest a bowl of ice-cream and then immediately assure him that it isn’t tainted with semen, chances are the guest will pass on the ice cream.
You see how that works?


You seem to bring up consensus as if it bears upon my post and then argue that it doesn’t really bear. Maybe I’m not getting your point.


Is agreeing with the 99% important to you? Do you feel anxious when strange ideas crop up in your mind?


I think admins and mods can see who voted but regular users can’t.
Correct me if I’m wrong.


Maybe I’ll post something about bananas next time. You’ll like that.


Ok, so how universalish? Gimme a percentage.


Right back at you Einstein


Remember kuro5hin? They had a different kind of voting. It was more sophisticated.


In your opinion, for it to exist in consensus reality, how much of the population needs to see it?
1%? 10? 80?
It depends on the LLM actually.
Specialized medical LLMs are actually very accurate.
