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 [email protected]

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

Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

Every human experience is necessarily finite and made up of steps, insofar as you can break down the experience of your mind into discrete thoughts.

That doesn't mean it's algorithmic, though. A whole branch of mathematics (and as consequence, physics) is non-algorithmic.

Also, people created math and computers and not vice versa. It's weird to call an organ a 'meat tool' of a any sort. Your brain isn't a meat computer, your fingers aren't meat pliers, your liver isn't a meat Brita filter. We make tools based on our meat bits quite often. Computers are the same. Our brains aren't based on computers cause computers are products of our brains meant to do some of the jobs of a brain, so I guess unlike a hammer it's easier to trick yourself into believing it's thinking cause it's a machine made to handle some of the load work of thinking.
