I'm kind of against a pharmaceutical regimen for most people. I understand that there are SOME things that people cannot fix themselves, but a lot of the cases, I don't believe drugs are necessary. Let's face it. People take pills because i

Based on intuition, I think of the universe as a giant cellular automaton. Each state of the universe is a slice of time, which lasts a Planck length of time. Each slice is static, but the loaf of time-bread is dynamic as a hole. The brain

Not every human would become a robot. Not every robot would have started as a human. This is where homo sapiens branches in the phylogeny of life. Some become robots, some stay human. Those that stay human may eventually evolve into dwarves

I want to create an open source hacker's lab. A place funded on the open-source philosophy (socialism, if you will). If the lab needs some equipment or parts, then someone buys a bunch and lets others use it, or people split the cost or som

Human intelligence can't exist outside of humans. We have a unique brain structure, allowing us to do what we do. But if we put our brain in a robot, it wouldn't work unless you built the robot in such a way that it believes it is human. On

The less of our brain we must use for data storage, the more we can utilize it for problem solving and creative thinking algorithms. What happens when you can instantly know what everyone else know? What will the hive mind be like? However,

True happiness is akin to achieving enlightenment. It takes years to even realize what happiness actually means, and I guess it's something different for every person. Then you have to care enough to pursue your definition of happiness, whi

I know Slashdot used to use it, and I don't see why they'd change. Although they did re-template their site not long ago, I can't imagine they'd give up perl after using it for so long.

I'm so glad! I've been waiting to get AdBlock Plus and Developer Tools for Chrome forever. Chrome is a pretty quick browser. It's like FF when it first came out but with some Opera mixed in - most notably the page previews that show up in b

"Take some time and reflect on all the things that had to go right to get you where you are today." Technology seems to be a natural result of evolution. So if you reflect on this statement, you can see that all of humanity is standing on t

Free lectures are great. I think all information should be free and open. Universities think it's a great idea now, but when people start using their online lectures for learning instead of attending classes and paying tuition, that piece o

genetic engineering will be old hat soon. Our kids will be writing 'Hello World' in DNA++. As for creating pain-free livestock to eat? Why not go one step further and create livestock without any awareness at all? Better yet, just add engin

I think you're close, but not quite there yet. "We" (or 'you' and 'I') exist as thoughts in our own head. Not only do we have analog bodies that are trapped in the digital world, we are voices trapped in the outdated hardware of our bodies.

We're approaching the point where the amount of time between one person knowing something and everyone knowing it is approaching zero. What do you think it'd be like to exist as part of a collective consciousness like that? When do I get my

The external plot was people accosting Max for the number in his head. The internal plot, I interpreted, was that when Max stared into the sun as a little boy, it merged his left and right brain functionality. When he took a drill to that g
