I insist in the correct term theory , because it is often presented as a fact (especially in school books here in Europe). I said 'silly' because basically it says: "less intelligent beings evolved into more intelligent beings". Now, thi

You don't need to read the whole book: Just look at all the things Darwin "didn't want to know", and the progress which science made since Darwin. IMO, Darwin is simply not to consider a good scientist, and in Darwins book there are some di

Evolution theory is an (old) theory. Here is some newer one: http://www.evolution-is-degeneration.com/index.asp?PaginaID=...

BTW, I can ask all of these questions without going into tilt, and without having any biological malfunction. So, these are all valid question. If I were a "biological machine", someone would already have called for a "biological" doctor.

Your are a biological machine? Really? Exclusively? Who did convince you of that? Science? Science is only science, science very often is wrong, and has to correct itself, sometimes decades, or even centuries later. I know that I'm not a bi

Some things a machine will never be able to: - spontaneously ask itself where it is coming from - spontaneously ask itself what it will become after its own destruction - having spontaneous thoughts - having free will Why do I say spontane

Often I let my brain work out the problem, and simply wait until it's finished. For example, last night I awoke about 5 times, every single time with a new solution to a current problem. But before that, I always try to really relax in th

It has always been known that: Lying may(!) bring you some advantage, short-term only; but you always have an alternative way: you can tell something great, without lying, but you need your phantasy for doing that. So, my dear friend, d

Depression is the symptom you get when your soul is left without sufficient daily nutrition, happening for a longer period. Now, what does the soul "eat"? Love! In any form, and there are so many. Depression is actually exploding in our cur

Humour is a fine Old French vocable, and so is its original meaning. You can pervert anything, and humour (together with real love) is one of the most often perverted (but originally really beautiful) things... :( Try to create real humou

So, you don't use a C++ compiler for your C code? The old C infrastructure is really outdated already -- you can use C and a very limited subset of C++ (without OO), and be perfectly happy.

But it's not true for all of us... For someone, it could perfectly be the other way round: "Hey, it's perfect, and it's light too! Wow! Now go to h*ll all of you too earth-bound children, while we will continue to fly high in the sky...". ;

Religion does not say "made just for us"; religion says that the Universe is one of the examples of the infinite creativity of the Creator. BTW, new stars are 'born' continuously.

So: Clojure was born as a hybrid of FP and CL for the JVM, as that seemed perfect to the authors personal experience... Sorry, but I'll not abandon my own way for such a personal preference style (if I only could remember where I already sa

Oh, you can put it as simple as: If you think you are good, you are not. If you think you have to improve, chances are you will become better . (Life is baby steps; ask a baby...)

Back when I still used to watch TV, the only channel that I really liked simply brought either very early TV programs (from the days where TV was new to everybody), or documentaries/interviews from 20-30 years back in time. Maybe nobody wou

You could use the LGPL Qt4.5 (cross-platform), which includes an ECMAScript scripting engine (with debugger).

So, you say that it would (in theory) be possible, that the human brain could create something more intelligent than itself? Come on, that's ridiculous. (Like the evolution theory, which is completely ridiculous, as it says that a less inte

Fiction again? Are your dreams more real than reality? You're not doing a real favor to science. Science always has to be concrete and repeatable (as you well know). You already make my head ache, really badly... Please remember: science ca

Your position: science can imitate (and maybe even surpass) Nature. My position: science will never ever be able to even come close to Nature (a simple example? Look at the most simple form of live possible: current (so heavily applauded) s

In our brain, certain impulses are carried via electricity, so they are as fast as possible (inside their structure). Other, much more complex processes, don't involve electricity directly, but they are still fast enough -- but given their

Computer memory is always aligned in a one-dimensional, (relatively) huge array. All of artificial intelligence is based on a one-dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional fact (our physical existence). DNA, our brain, every bit of inf

Lists or arrays? Nature doesn't know arrays. There's no index (which is the only real distinctive between arrays and lists), and the next atom of information can be (physically) more or less distant from the previous one, so: Nature only us
