Unseen…they can seriously disrupt our lives. But they cannot overtake us at the moment.

XKCD has a pretty funny article regarding what would happen if suddenly all of our technology suddenly became intelligent and could communicate with one another. The result is very little. Big machines are bolted to the ground. Cars could drive over a few people but they’d run out of gas/electricity and some speed traps would contain them.…[Read more]

I sort of do the same thing Pope. I read the wikipedia articles on obscure languages (there are thousands of them so it’s unlikely I will run out). As I had taken a couple classes on linguistics I know the bare basics about phonology and grammar and language families. So it is “MILDLY” interesting as you say. If it is completely unengaging it…[Read more]

She explains that her battery is good for a 173 years.

That will be quite the orgy then.

What if robots had enough AI to develop wants, needs, pride, and fear of death? What if they could be better at sex than any human on top of being more physically attractive?

Then those robots would just spend all day having sex with one another until their batteries ran out. Doesn’t sound very sustainable.

They become Buddhist hippies preying on children in Thailand, or they become men’s rights activists or “proud boys” or they become flat-Earthers or they join ISIS or they blow up a Mosque or hopefully they see the light and reform their ways (LMAO).

If it were properly and thoroughly demonstrated that one race was more intelligent than another then of course it would create a lot of serious problem (a clear justification for stupid racism) but it ought not to be censored. Having said that, it absolutely has NOT been demonstrated. Most testing has been biased towards the kind of intelligence…[Read more]

Pope…do you have tits?

Because our brain is processing different stimuli and thoughts from different moments all at different moments there isn’t one clear “now” in your brain but a fuzzy fog of “now” that covers multiple miliseconds from the past until “now” making it a hazy “consciousness” of “the present”. As Reg pointed out, the planck time is extremely short…[Read more]

And there are people who experienced the big crunch and are feeling a little stuck!

Beagles are so obsessed with food I swear they would sit intently and wait all day long for the chance to get food they like. They are also absolute vacuum cleaners. I’m not exaggerating when I say if we dropped some food on the floor that we’d leave it there cause we knew “snoopy” would find it in no time. He would also scavenge the entire house…[Read more]

Whenever we had steak, my beagle would stand in front of us and salivate for an hour as we ate. He would stand perfectly still and stare at us with murderous eyes with a drool hanging out of his mouth that would get longer and longer.  You could not distract him with anything else (he knew he was going to get the leftover bones). When I was a kid…[Read more]

Canada doesn’t have an NHS. They have 13 provincial and territorial systems (with notable differences). Canada has a fraction of the population that the US has. Even if they had private medicine there would still be ads for Canadians to go to American hospitals to try some treatments because a smaller country couldn’t possibly offer them all.…[Read more]

Better to Suavez qui peut, avoid spreading misery, enjoy what’s possible, and assure those who are born that I did try to warn others before them.

That was the most incoherent rant you’ve made yet. Debt is irrelevant. Centralised medicine is CHEAPER that private medicine. The taxes levied are cheaper than the money put towards private in…[Read more]

While the mind is a legitimate area of study, the “experts” are novices at best and scratch deep enough, many of those “experts” think that they themselves need help.

Wow. So you are a knowledge denier. It must be really wonderful to be able to dismiss anything you don’t like and generate excuses to explain away shit that conflicts with your wo…[Read more]
