Re: Skynet is coming.

Non-consentual telepathy would be a form of felony assault, unless performed by an authorized government agent investigating a crime against the State or performing rehabilitation. :mrgreen: :twisted: How reassuring...what type of "rehabilitation" would require the gov to have unfettered 24/7 abili...

Re: Skynet is coming.

It would probably be impossible for blocking content, literally, everyone hooked up to the machine would be exposed to the entire life's memories of everybody else, and what they're thinking. Total Borg Vulcan mind meld. Based on what ? No one knows at this point, as this is possibly the most unkno...

Re: SpaceX News

SpaceX definitely seems to be doing well on Musk's plan to make a fully reusable rocket, even if it has taken a number of years longer than he originally envisioned. They'll probably have more setbacks, but hopefully not for a little while yet. It's got to be hard to have that on your shoulders on ...

Re: Go For New Navy Funding To Finish

Soooo while the usual purse fight goes on in that other "news" topic, maybe anyone has more or less baseless and interesting conjecture on whether EMC2 ought to touch a measly fraction of a percent or two out of those $xxB ?

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Whether agreed or disagreed with the basis of your position, that last's a non sequitur. Never mind, if it's not supposed to justify the preceding part of your post.

Re: Go For New Navy Funding To Finish

Is anyone actually going to bet on, and for this? I reckon that's a losing bet.

Re: Flags ...

Even nowadays, if you are in the wrong parts of the world, the brutality of man is still manifesting itself in all sorts of cruel ways. You have NO idea who you said this to. This is typical of your arguments. Presuming so much. It's so not even close to my POV that like so many other times reading...

Re: Flags ...

Hey folks, any body here ever slavered to go out and kill and enslave? Isn't that mainly the provence of government? So you're not going to answer the question then? You could instead account for the silent majority of non homicidal maniacs. Maybe the question should be why you're so blind to that.

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?

I reckon these challenges are to us as building the USA was to the FF and whoever tried and failed before them. The difference would be that we'd have time on our side. It's not like no one state or sufficiently rich individual will ever try and eventually succeed. If it's unavoidable, then we shou...

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?

In other words the rejuvenated now "young" person would then continue to work and pay taxes; And over time drive up the cost of everything, as they will have more to pay more. Being a new entry to this argument may reach a point where it is really a non-starter economically. And this doesn't even g...

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?

And my point is, "Thank God." It was a mercy to humanity that he couldn't live for 150 years. It's a moot point. Caligula today would get in a bitch fight with Hillary or Hussein and fail just as bad at Ruling The World ™ It's no mercy to humanity that curing aging is delayed day after day, tens of...
