    Would a Hitler clone be morally culpable of someone else’s actions?

        Wouldn’t that make you an immoral monster who “should still be killed as quickly as possible”?

            Maybe if logical consistency is silly. You argued in favor of killing someone unjustifiably. Moral principles mean nothing to you?

                I don’t think you’ve even broken it down to yourself. Killing a person who hasn’t done anything wrong is inherently immoral. It’s basic logic & moral reasoning.

                    Nah, brah. It’s settled: you don’t explain it because you can’t & simply lack moral principles. The only one being “silly” about it is you.

  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
