so what, no one would argue that the dots were self-aware, or conscious. It showed the perception of intelligence, not intelligence, nor...
Emergent Behavior sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors. So, if something has enough computational power, such as a computer, it will emerge a...
Martin, do you believe in free will? What does it mean when man reflects and regrets the choices that he has made?
Actually, i think a hunter/gather is about the same activity, if anything, less active. Have you ever worked on a farm? Your last sentence is a...
It's pretty obvious to any intelligent person that the hunter/gatherer diet is best for man, as even archeologist digging up ancient bones know...
sources say String Theory is responsible for Homos. they are centered in a kink in the string, which is one out of every ten SuperStrings.
why stop there. I sodomized my wife. I should never be published.
Seems baffling to say this, but you should read a bit more... Quote from previous link: Penrose has written a more recent book, 1994,...

After Googling a bit, It seems that human consciousness is a hot topic, debated, and no where near solved. Ever get that feeling you're being...
Computational power does not result in self-awareness, I don't see that. How could you ever program real "self awareness" into a machine, besides...
okay, i think this is my biggest disagreement. You would have to admit that an epidemic causing an extinction has not elimanted man or his...
I think it was clear. The "decendents" of man (call them whatever you want) will continue to the end of time. this branch, chain, whatever, will...
very simply, we are the ground-breaking species on earth. We will continue to evolve, much faster than before, because man is so smart and...
You are completely, utterly wrong, and you cannot seem to remember my previous points. Please pay attention and put on your thinking cap: Of...
the proof of a fundamental force is not the same as an educated prediction. and other people "in the know" scientist told us that margarine was...
No, many ice ages has not killed man nor his ancestorial species lineage, and it definitely would not now. There's a much better chance of Bruce...
well, well, well. It could so easily happen? Yet, over five billion years it has not broken the chain of evolution that resulted in man....
I can't fathom all of humanity going down to complete extinction. Zero man? I don't think so. It's way too late for that. Hell, seems like...
Actually, not to survive these 10 or 12 mass extinctions would be shocking. We are far advanced now to not only predict such things, but to plan,...
