Anything that can be measured is - by definition - physical. And anything that can't be measured is totally irrelevant, and we may as well consider it doesn't exist.
The obvious solution is to dig only under your own property. Any two pieces of property can be connected by digging straight down from both of them until the tunnels intersect.
If a word like "black" is off the table, then "white" or "male" should also be, as well as calling a person "African American", just based on their skin color.
Putting aside your silly examples, would you agree with parent that Go is a much more complex game than chess, even if judged by other criteria than game tree size ?
Not so long ago, people assumed that a world class Go playing computer would also take years to create, and all of of a sudden there was AlphaGo beating them.
Actually, large amounts of metal outside a gravity well is extremely valuable for space exploration, since launch costs right now are thousands of dollars per pound.
Not really, because we don't have an industry outside the gravity well to turn raw iron into useful products like microchips, microwave transmitters, high precision optics, solar panels, rocket fuel, or many of the other things we need. The total cost of building and launching this industry in space would be much more than all the probes we'd want to use for space exploration.
Price is actually a very good indicator of value. When you've built all the bridges, towers, spacecraft, etc you need, using only 0.1% of the asteroid, the remaining 99.9% doesn't have much value anymore.

It is totally obvious though, that human behaviour, which originates in the brain, depends on the structure of that brain.
It's an alternative fact that it's literally 1984.

Just dig deep enough, and you'll end up below the permit depth.
The closer a road operates to maximum theoretical capacity, the more dramatic the traffic congestion when something goes slightly wrong.

Nothing has changed with sex for thousands of years, except people's sensitivity levels.
Saving the source data is no guarantee that it will never be destroyed.
No president will EVER take the constitution away from the people, no matter how hard they try
You're so naive, it's cute.
I, for one, welcome the new government overlords.
So are you, except your database is smaller.
AI requires computation, not storage.
I would have thought there would be a permanent GPS station on the summit.
I just killed 10. Pray I don't kill any more.

Self awareness is only a small part of intelligence. Our brains do a lot of processing that's not self aware.
It's exactly what they are doing, so no, they haven't overlooked it.
Real intelligence is also just computation.
The solution is to combine probability calculations with unpredictable behavior.

And then it still doesn't make sense, because Mars will still be an inhospitable hell hole where nobody would want to live.
You can't "drop" something from space, at least not without huge amounts of delta-v. And if you can afford that, you can make better threats.
