How could you possibly think we would be able to calculate the hawking radiation of the universe. There are probably a trillion different variables in determining the amount of matter in black holes. How many there are, and what size they are also affects the emanation rate of Hawking radiation. Even an estimate trying to get within an order of magnitude would be highly suspect.

I've made a statement of observation, not a judgement. That you interpret it as a judgement speaks more about you than I.

I neither condone, nor condemn, it is simply nature taking it's course. All of evolution has trade offs, gain the ability to walk, lose the ability to breath underwater. While we could argue the tradeoffs about societies current trends, I'll leave that to others.

I'm not sure the connection you are trying to make. You didn't address any of the points in my comment, instead stating a fact with an incorrect conclusion. Are the top men having more relations, yes. Do they have the opportunity to be more protected against pregnancy than previous generations, yes. Does them having more relations equal more chances to be sloppy and not fully utilize those protections in the heat of the moment. Also yes. It may not be possible to know the degree, but the general effects are easily modeled.

Uhmmmm, no. Obviously this phenomenon is evolutionary. Changes in society over the last 100 years have increased the freedom of choice in partners, and the prevalence of pre-marital sex. These are allowing women to weed out most of the lower percentile of size from the pool of men who re-produce. In many cases, men who have come to realize they are well below average, will self select out of the dating pool altogether to avoid the rejection and shame they can expect to face.

For all those who didn't bother to read. Doctor is married. The patient slipped him her number after a previous visit. They sexted over whatsapp. When she went to the hospital for chest pain, she was seen by a different doctor, but she messaged him that she was there, and he took his shot. Toilet sex. Followed by sex at her home in following days. The article doesn't explain how the investigation started, just that he was under suspicion of having raped her, and the criminal charges were dropped after police reviewed the evidence. Dude said his wife is cool with it, but then he had to face the music of damage to his career for the moral hazard of having relations with a patient.

Yes, but to replicate those signals you would have limit your idea of AI to just simulated brains, which are much more inefficient. While that may be an experimental path, it makes no sense for researchers or developers to restrict themselves to a much worse solution from a processing power stand point just to emulate the processes that happen in human brains

Yes, but Machine emotion would be much different from human emotion. A machine has no glands, no hormones, no receptors. So most of what you call emotion wouldn't exist for them. They would likely still understand the frustration of having obstacles in their way. They would still likely have some sentimental bias for favored ideas, things, people, even if only from a flawed weighting system that would function like familiarity. A more interesting question is how your "emotions" would be effected were you to have your brain uploaded into a machine and became an AI. How quickly would you lose your sense of self?
