Sorry, I don't have the time to expand and, ultimately, we're talking about two different things. If you like, you may do further reading on singularities. Not the black hole kind. I'll see you around.

You need to examine the trend of the planet and of the universe, of the 'natural world.' This is going to be a pretty crazy flash-forward: when the universe began, it was sheer anarchy. Now, after billions of years of self organizing, here

> My point was that trees are no less NOR more valuable than humans Through inference, you are saying that the value of humans and the value of trees are equal. So, now, you need to define value. I cannot think of any consistent definit

It's just an interesting testament to the irrationality of the human emotional response that we feel sad for an unusual tree, but feel little for the immense magnitude of human loss that occurs constantly. Brings back memories of people g

I moved into my mom's basement. She got a job elsewhere and she needed someone to take care of her house, which is paid for, and her pets and some farm animals. So I quit my job and moved back to my hometown. It is actually working out real

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I was up all night finishing a project, and I am killing time right now staying awake, so understand if I'm not writing with precision. When I said I speak to people the way humans should be spoken to,

When talking about something meaningful, I speak to people in a way that humans should be spoken to. It's their fault for getting offended. That is, I speak to people with the dignity of humans in mind, which is our power of inference. Sp

Oh the frustration, eh? And it gets more annoying every time. I still don't have a clear idea on how one can reject objective reality, or reject what is real. There have been some simularities between all my confrontations over the years: t

Crap. The world is not very colorful in an objective reality. The world is very colorful in an objective reality, is what I meant.

Confusing the map and territory needs to be classified as a psychological disorder, where sanity is below a minimum threshold. This kind of thinking is too easy. This is basic stuff, and you call it "obviously wrong." That's an indication

From my comment: There is nothing more pathetic than seeing someone profusely blame the wrong thing for their depression. I'm wasn't specifically talking about people who casually blame the wrong thing. Maybe I need a stronger word than p

There's productive depression and unproductive depression. Some people aren't compelled into productive depression. Productive depression is a dignified depression¸ where the person realizes that the object of the angst is a little elusive.

Well, I've tried to worry about this stuff, but it's too much of a hassle. Instead, I replace the cells in my battery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtqRvAu71Gw Works for my laptop battery and is super cheap, though caution please.

>In general, I mean. Not everyone seems to have this impulse to boss people around, but it does seem to be very common, and it seems like a majority of people have it to some degree, some more than others. Then the problem appears to be

The question persists, and deserves serious attention. But I am confident that we won't end up killing ourselves. If humans weren't at the cusp of intelligence, and still possessed all this technology, then I would be worried. However, we a

Huh, I didn't realize that PDF hasn't been propriety format since 2008. That's awesome. Reading plain text files is simpler to do across platforms. If an app on a mobile device just pays attention to the text then that's fine for functional

Please heed this advice. And don't allow yourself to get tricked into clicking an innocent link that leads to the ED offended page. For every link on ED, roll over it and take a look at its URL at the bottom of your browser. This'll keep yo
