I think quantum physics and 'simulated reality' are one in the same. What's the difference between a reality which is only real when observed, and a reality which is only real when switched-on? What is the difference between

It always saddens me when the people with all these amazing memories and stories die. It seems such a shame. It's like when my parents died and all those memories of my childhood were gone. My mother (like all mothers) would bring-out

Why do the drones have to be physical? I think we get caught-up in the physical nature of the universe. I mean, anyone who can efficiently traverse the galaxy would have completely understood the laws of the universe and be able to somehow

I think it's more that aggression and the instinct to protect ourselves are part of all DNA. We only have to look at ants being invaded by a foreign species to see that. Also, since everything is based on the bell curve, out of 7 billi

Why? What's the difference between dying or the simulation just ending?

I don't worry about those things. I feel that any civilisation that has the capability for interstellar travel would have long since understood the laws of the universe and would have evolved past the need for a deteriorating, ineffici

I think software development is the greatest vocation for a 'older' person, you just have to look at it differently. I'm 57, and I KNOW I am unemployable and I'm fine with that. To me, software is only a tool to get wher

No reforms are possible while the US has privatised prisons. Financial incentives to maintain prison head-counts is a crime against humanity.

I had come to them with a couple of ideas during my employment which they had rejected but I said I may pursue. In addition, they had purchased my company so as with most buyouts there was the usual cultural and operational issues between m

It's great to have/give respect from/to your employers. But this is the way you should think about that; since everyone is respectful, then it is the perfect time to iron-out a nice agreement which lays it all out for both pa

You don't quite understand Joel's point. Regardless of whether you are legally right, a larger company could sue you for the sake of suing, and make your life very miserable. And if the fight continues and you run out of money, wh

Strange that 'c' is now constant. It would seem that the forces that caused the reduction in 'c' would remain in effect. And if 'c' was faster because the universe was incredibly hot in the early stages, wouldn

The problems we have on this planet are not technological issues but social issues. And social issues are much harder to solve.

I think the present research into the colonisation of other planets is too slow to ultimately help mankind. Our resource and climate problems on this planet will cause serious issues within the next 100 years. Personally, I think we should

There wasn't a single logical word in that article; just emotional drivel. My advise for this young lady is to get off her emotional roller-coaster, plant herself in a chair, turn off all her devices, and begin to think rationally.

For those who started and perpetuated the WoD, it's been a resounding success.

I think that the LEAP organisation will have more clout than physicians to end the WoD, and certainly more clout with the proletariat, as you say. Ex-law enforcement officers who have been in the trenches and understand exactly the societal

The war on drugs was never about health, but was about racism. One poster talked of Chasing the Scream which details this. So the idea that doctors should be advocates for the ending of the WoD just continues the false rationalisation that

Very sorry to hear this, mate. With depression, we lose sight of the small wins in life like a beautiful day, or a walk on the beach. Society measures success by wealth/status but individually, deep down, all of us know that the accumu
