Probably you'd like to hear this. "Copyright" is in a controversial and heated debate. Corporate evil becomes too rich to start to define what they want. The point of running an ad-blocker is not just that ads are annoying, b

Thank you for the piece. Really good. I mean I give up on Wired, not on content.

We call it communication as a broader classification. Then the system of sounds they make is the communication medium. Like looking in the eyes.

I think consciousness is programed to first and foremost identify your skin to be your boundary (for survival). But then, when you train to master an external tool, like a bike, you feel the boundary of the whole system to be your boundary

Yeah, after a few seconds of consideration, I gave up on Wired, not my ad blocker.

This is really useful. I choose random year (month..) and pick the best of these parameters. Some materials are timeless.

Do you know why there is not a single military aircraft for Asia on the map? Also, for the tag "interesting", I see only one (UK something).. Is it because I'm in Europe? (Just curious)

Haha I haven't watched all of them. I learn to occasionally watch so that they don't run out like Dr Who. I like the Traveler ^^. Seems like a good idea that you can travel across dimensions (more freedom) and I like it that he to

Recently I can afford to implement this rule "I choose who can come and how much close to me, male and female alike, physical distance and psychological distance alike". I learn every single word of this the hard way. But the hard

I have this feeling about edge.org that they manage to invite remarkable people to have incredibly shallow content that is full of buzzword (maybe this is what happens if you try to pull off profound things for public). Just an experience.

I think civility is how we react to things that are different from us. In resolving conflict, we can bomb the shit out of each other, or we can greet our enemy with political statements. Both are painful but dead is an absorbing state, as l

No I watch ST to relax also (and I don't watch anything else). But I just say some of them. For example, there is this one episode that develops a bit strange. Piccard shouts "shut up Weasley" and blindly ignore the fact that

In Star Trek the Next Generation I think. It's quite old and some episodes are less intriguing for today's standard but some really really great. If you like, you can go on dailymotion.com/video and search for it.

Maybe it's the lack of emotional education from my childhood or i was born with it, but i'm diagnosed that i don't feel for myself, and (worse) mirror all the feeling of others on me. Which explains why people tire me out so

I think when debate comes down to differences in ideology and idiosyncracy, it's at the end of debating because these differences are impossible to compromise (they are all legitimate). And the world is at a point that everybody can be

I thought that also, but look at his body, it's machine to the bone so I was thinking where is the place for the human to occupy? I was thinking, maybe he just "thinks" that he is breathing because he was a human and wakes up

How can a robot have breaths? Why does he try to take off the "mask"? How can he identify that it's not a part of his "body"?

But the fact that having a personal trainer improves things a lot. For example having a psychologist. She doesn't do anything, she just makes comments.

Hard to draw a line, because "curiosity kills the cat" is to say about a witty animal. Cat is surely wicked. But it gets killed.

I think it's nice that science never makes the claim that how it actually happens, only that it might have happened this way, on a priori ground. Maybe we never really know (the truth as is), but if we can mimic (the truth as if), it
