Is the big underlying motive for LISP its connection with symbolic AI?

This would naively seem to be a yes to psi. Bem got a strong signal and Scott doesn't believe in psi so he thinks science in general is deeply flawed as it currently works.

I don't have direct proof, but groups like SRI have published results in IEEE.

I found this nature article which claims he has inflated the p values, because Radin fails to include hypothetical negative tests in his sample analysis of the file drawer. Seems pretty clear, although I don't understand it yet, so I

Dean Radin has a fascinating book looking at the evidence for ESP. There is quite a bit since the topic has obvious military applications if it works. There are a number of metaanalyses he looks at which indicate it is not p hacking. The

I am curious why it has never been claimed. At least ESP seems to be very well documented from a scientific perspective.

Lots of ghost stories and religious experiences and accounts of telekinesis and ESP. Are all those true as well?

Look I am not saying they are right. My point is these are not your average stupid uneducated person. The two families in question, the one parent has multiple PhDs from Columbia and Princeton, the other took their undergrad at Caltech.

I personally know very intelligent and highly educated people who went to top universities who are convinced vaccines caused mental retardation in their children. They may be wrong, but I would not call them nutjobs.

The question is who is exploiting whom in this situation.

I get that it is hard to say how derivative something is. There are certainly cases where this is hard to say. However, there are also cases where it is quite black and white where much effort was expended to come up with a particular des

Could that be mediated with many read heads at different locations?

Exactly. That is why I say such arguments are essentially arguments for communism, and we all know how that turns out.

Did they make multi-million dollar movies?

No, but anyone in the public could potentially become part of such a group. So, what they disallow for what they consider a special group they are also disallowing for themselves.

Great, now they can go full google and manipulate the local news.

What is the difference between a psych ward and a jail? No difference in tv shows, except they also drug you, do weird experiments, and you could get killed by fellow inmates without a problem. If getting committed to a psych ward replace

Companies are made out of people, who have an agreement with the rights holders.

Well, as someone who may create IP, I would like recourse to the legal system in order to enforce ownership of what I create. I imagine there are many people like me.

Wouldn't that argument undermine all property protection? What if anything of ours is uniquely ours vs somewhat derivative? Tangible property is even more derivative, i.e. inheriting a house. Absolutely no creativity going on in tha

I believe even technocratic communism would fail for the same reasons that agrarian and industrial communism failed. Lack of incentive to work hard, Goodhardt's law, destruction of those who try to retain property rights, etc. Even t

Everything intangible would not exist if someone didn't put in the effort to create it. As such they have a right to constrain the use of what they create, just as they have with tangible goods they create.

Do you have a right to everyone's IP who doesn't fit your expectations for reasonable access and price?

I was initially skeptical about your statement that Ron Main is avcrackpot, since he comes across as highly intelligent and very well versed in physics and mathematics. However, he also thinks there is a sufficiently strong axiomatic syste

Very weird Maybe the ancients are right and the soul resides somewhere in the liver. Don’t laugh; people have led normal lives with giant pieces of their brain removed, but nobody has survived the death of their livers. The former fact; nor
