- rbanffy 1y agoBy then we’d better understand how to implement a “Let there be light” procedure. Might very well be the last question we need to ask ourselves.

- antonvs 1y agoHappily when Asimov wrote the same story, he didn't give away the punchline in the title.

- andrewflnr 1y agoYeah. I think I was really imagining it as a chapter title in something like Ra [0]. Sam is good at bombastic chapter titles. [0] https://qntm.org/ra https://qntm.org/ra
