Oh, I am very aware of it being like death. My point is that we were never alive at all. We have no consciousness because of determinism, we follow a path that cannot be changed. That's why teleportation is not a problem from a deterministic atheist standpoint.
However I do fully acknowledge that I can not live like that. I live as if I have free will, because that is the easiest and most comfortable way to live. Beside nature / nurture arguments of course, I don't dismiss those.
I don't get this either, they just heat the water
You should check out the movie Hardcore Henry ๐
Well the person being teleported would cease to exist. If life is deterministic then there is no consciousness, just a predetermined path. So my argument is basically that you don't exist anyways, and by that extension teleportation is not a problem, because the copy is not alive either.
What is death? If everything is deterministic, then there is no consciousness. If there is no consciousness, then no death and a copy is pretty much exactly the same
Can you elaborate?
I think teleportation is a really interesting philosophical question. If life is deterministic and there is no soul, then there should be no problem with teleportation. From a deterministic atheist perspective it should not be a problem, I wouldn't teleport myself though ๐
Not christian, but I would assume the cross is a reminder of Jesus dying for our sins.

People sometimes cheat, not okay, but it happens. Most likely the marriage wasn't going so well, and he got some attention he wanted from someone else. Your mother is hurt and angry. But she does not have the right to deny your continued contact and bond with your dad.
There is no good reason mentioned in your post to end your relationship with your dad to end.
However, how the divorce is handled is more important in my opinion. If he in some major way makes sure she gets a bad unfair deal, then things are different. If he not only cheats, but also does not share in a fair manner, then he is really hurting your mother in a way that is harder to accept.
The video was interesting, clearly American manufacturing is fucked ๐ He had a couple of sinophobic moments for sure. I loved the part in which he got Chinese chainmail from "India". Not ordering it from China when he could not replace it was a revealing choice.
I get his mission, but it just so incredibly clearly shows how capitalism is a shitty system and that little "invest in local manufacturing even if less profits" speech seems more like a selling point than inspirational.
I read that this thing costs 75$, which is ridiculous. I would like to see the actual costs, can't imagine it being near that price. If it is, then what a shitty deal. He understands one thing though, his IP does not mean shit, if someone can produce something good enough or equally good for 1/3 the price.
China really is beating capitalists at their own game ๐
