@lowqualityfacts There's a lengthy discussion of whether you or your friend is correct in Derek Parfit, Reasons and Persons, chs. 10-13. Also whether we might survive teletransportation.https://global.oup.com/academic/product/reasons-and-persons-9780198249085?cc=us&lang=en&#

@lowqualityfacts I always find it heartening how a friendly wish and a short formal address ('sir') can really take the sting out of a total destruction threat. It means we might all hope to be destroyed some day, without feeling too offended by it all.

@lowqualityfacts I actually had a student assert this in the classroom last week. Now I know it's true!

@jeffjarvis @TedUnderwood Because of my education in philosophy and philosophy of science, I think a simple formulation 'what's the objective fact, here?' raises a lot of deep puzzles. But I think 'objective fact' isn't the target.I wonder if anyone is trying to develop a crisp conception of 'public discourse facts' where this would name the proper target of journalistic practices of fact checking. It might be right to classify GPT etc. as a form of journalism, and hold it to that standard.

@lowqualityfacts It is precisely to solve this problem that the minions of hell created delivery apps. Totally eliminates the waitress. Her job even.

@lowqualityfacts I'm sorry, but something about this fact makes it of distinctively medium quality.

@lowqualityfacts This explains why both claim to have originated Pisco.
