December 1, 2001
To the Citizens of Kansas (along with those from Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, and a dozen other states contemplating the teaching of “Intelligent Design” creationism as a “balance” to the theory of evolution in public school science classes), I present you with a small literary samplin…[Read more] -

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 6 months agoPB, scifi fans have wondrously productive imaginations.
AI’s taking over the universe is a stretch. Its making a repeating big bang rips the “fabric” to shreds little larger than molecules.-
Indeed it’s a stretch, but I can’t rule out that several billion years of AI wouldn’t trump it.
On a related topic–but yeah, a tangent… similar to Fermi’s Paradox, we might ask why we’ve not yet seen evidence of alien AI. IMO, the technology to *widely* propagate self-assembling AI bots would be infinitely more feasible than the glossy-eyed…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 7 months agoHere’s an interesting Facebook post from just now by Steve Taylor, “transpersonal psychologist” (and psychology professor at Manchester University). You may or may not find him slightly out there: I prefer the term “speculative”.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about evolution over the last few days (for an article I’m writing) and have learned…
