I read a sci-fi series by Peter F. Hamilton that had a hyper advanced race of aliens called the Silfen that basically treated reality and physics as their play thing. I remember at the end a character asks one where consciousness comes from and the Silfen replied “beats me”. It’s one of those weird things where the physical smashes into the metaphysical. We can poke around with the brain and see how it affects consciousness but I’m not sure if we’ll ever know how a bunch of electric meat can make a feeling like love or a raw quaila such as the color blue.

Sounds like your friend needs therapy.

Have you been tested for psychopathy?

Interesting.

I love manual transmissions, but it’s my understanding that they are pretty pointless on an electric motor because you don’t really have the same concept of a power band like you do on ICE cars. Even worse the sheer torque of electric engines can make them a liability.

I don’t know how or why Toyota put a manual transmission in an electric car, but if they ever sell even a semi affordable ae86 electric car in the states I will sell both my kidneys to buy both it and a dialysis machine.
