So property destruction is inherently peaceful as long as the property did not belong to a human being?

So, just to be clear, you are claiming that blowing up Palantir would be an inherently peaceful act?

Thanks for the link! After reading through the requirements, I see the following, which is probably what led to the package's rejection:

Savannah is a free software hosting site: we host projects such as yours for the sake of the ideals of freedom and community that the free software movement stands for. We offer Savannah hosting to free software packages, as free software packages; therefore, please describe your package clearly as a free software package. Please label it as “free software” rather than as “open source”. [emphasis mine]

So I suppose that it was a clearly stated rule that is indeed violated in the README. Still, a better response than:

Savannah is a software forge for free software. We don't host packages that identify themselves as open source.

Would have been:

Your README identifies the package as "open source" rather than "free software", violating our hosting requirements. Please fix this.

It would only have required slightly more typing, and would have come across as far less hostile.

ENDELAYIFICATION IS STILL BAD!!!

Just to be clear: it is only the GNU toolchain for which the 32-bit target is being demoted, not the MSVC toolchain.

Sheesh, the submitted package is explicitly licensed under the GPL, but apparently that was not good enough for it to count as "free software" because the words "open source" appear in its README.

Evidence suggests that “consciousness” is the mechanism that allows separate parts of the brain to communicate with other parts of the brain and coordinate activities. The hypothesis is this is done by the frontal cortex which is responsible for reasoning, decision making, and controlling voluntary movements. However, there is still much research required in Neurosciences before we have a solid theory and understanding of consciousness.

So in other words... it exists.

It is worth nothing that the first sentence is exactly my perspective, as I explicitly stated earlier:

I think that consciousness in the brain is just an approach that it uses to aggregate and share information amongst several subcomponents.

Sure! What exactly do you think consciousness is (or is not)? You seem to think that I was motivated to enter this conversation in order to feel smart, but asked my original question because I was genuinely interested in your point of view.

Once again, you prove yourself too cowardly to state your thought outright. 😉

It is very telling that you are unable to respond directly to what I said. 😀
