You are so right. Just imagine having a physical community that wasn't completely gutted for the sake of transporting cars through non-communal spaces to other non-communal spaces. In America, we can hardly even imagine this, and if you try, you will experience something close to a mob backlash.

IT IS THE CARS. All of our communal space has been gutted to make more room for cars, which do the exact opposite of community building, as they abstract the human away from the world and you're left with an extremely dangerous, noisy, and angry public space.
Correction - do do it at home if you have no other option
The cars took the third space

Interesting. Maybe more like a "You don't have x, right?" than a "do you not have x?"

Cool subject matter, would have been nice to have either less jokes or funny jokes.

Well put.

People should be taught about Strawmanning and Steelmanning in elementary school, sad to see it needs teaching on HN

I think the law says otherwise? Evidence collected illegally is (usually?) not valid.

Regardless, I could imagine it might incentivize spying otherwise.

Imagine if the police acted with the military's ROE. I think I'd have seen a lot less civilians murdered by police in the past few years.

If you can develop a robust system of testable explanations for the material reality of your dream world that hold consistently true where/when this is all happening then maybe your question would be useful.

There is complex physiology going on producing a consciousness (so it seems to me) that can be altered when that physiology is altered. We can see at least some of this physiology. Suggesting all that physiology in our world is actually happening in the dream world of some other being doesn't seem very interesting as it still leaves us here in the same material (as we can measure it) reality that science is... still pretty damn good at describing. So why even bring it up? If there's evidence that points us that way, cool, otherwise, Occam's razor seems better.

> These substances will not produce profound effects when taken recreationally

This claim, at the very least, is false.
