Re: Creation of a true artificial intelligence?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be based on binary code. We'll have to come up with something that is a physical analogy to neural tissue, not merely a bits-&-bytes imitation of perceived human behaviour. A neuron either fires or doesn't fire, which is binary. My guess is that the hardware we...

Re: Creation of a true artificial intelligence?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be based on binary code. We'll have to come up with something that is a physical analogy to neural tissue, not merely a bits-&-bytes imitation of perceived human behaviour. And, if we're going to do that, we might as well clone things. There you go, clone a brai...

Re: the great HOAX of 'Evolution'

Iolaus, If you're not even going to read the article, there's not much point. Ditto if you can't get past a Cardinal involved in scientific matters, much less one as historically imposing as Cusa, who made invaluable contributions to mathematics and science with his "De Docta Ignorantia." ...

Re: the great HOAX of 'Evolution'

Faust13, If you knew anything about real science, you'd know that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is just horseshit cooked up by nerds worshipping Newton's Principia, which Newton himself admitted described a universe that was not like the real one, a universe that would somehow "wind down&quo...

Re: Parable of the poison arrow and science.

To a follower who insisted on knowing, "Is there a God?", Shakyamuni replied with the parable of the poison arrow. "if you were shot by a poison arrow, and a doctor was summoned to extract it, what would you do? Would you ask such questions as who shot the arrow, from which tribe did...

Re: Cui Bono?

daybrown, Supporting evidence for your hypothesis comes from the advancing age of the Baby Boomer generation, the wealthiest generation in history, and the statistical fact that men die earlier than women. This means that, relatively soon, trillions of dollars of assets are going to be inherited by ...

Re: The U.S. and the 10 steps to fascism

I didn't say "National Socialist." The US is emphatically not moving in that direction. What it is doing, among other things, is moving towards fascism, and towards Marxism, simultaneously. In other words, cultural Marxism under corporatism, ruled by an international oligarchy. The chief s...

Re: The U.S. and the 10 steps to fascism

ARE Americans practicing Communism? I'd certainly hope so. But this highlights a problem with these lists. As sympathetic as I am to Wolf's thought and the idea that the US is proto-fascist, criteria can always be created or selected after the fact to fit the existing data. Unidian, You're making t...

Re: A very different Frank Zappa

hsandman, Now, try justifying what you've submitted in terms of truthful principle relating to the true nature of mankind and the process of the republican versus oligarchal conflict characterising the past 2,500 years of history of European civilisation. That, and enjoy pulling the fire alarm as pa...

Re: The U.S. and the 10 steps to fascism

...I didn't know things were this bad. That's what everyone is going to say. People have been warning about this shit for years. I don't think a mainstream writer suddenly getting a clue is going to change anything, because the thought processes that lead commoners to pay attention to mainstream wr...

Re: A very different Frank Zappa

hsandman, The government, of course, presuming the government is in the right hands and is properly constituted. This is the principle of oligarchy, that the elite, enlightened few must guide the development of the commoner, with a mind to his improvement, rather than suppression (as the current oli...

Re: A very different Frank Zappa

Greetings, I perceived this short a while ago, and whilst at the time I found Zappa sympathetic, I find him less so now. Zappa is indeed a kind of anarchist, a cultural anarchist, who has no grasp of the importance of national solidarity and the restriction of inappropriate materials. That he emphas...
