"The human brain contains a thousand times more neocortical columns than a rat's brain, but there is very little difference, biologically speaking, between a rat's brain and our own. Build one column, and you can effectively build the entire neocortex - if you have the computational power."
Prolly no more difference than between RAT and HUMAN dna. Give or take a few logs. A base-pair here, a base-pair there... heh wait a minute gimme back that arginine, the Godel channel won't work without it, or will, duh...
When Unkil Sammy sez "no collateral" damage that means when your commi/nazi/nativist/cosmopolitan house gets toasted, your Darwin-award-winning neighbor will be safe. The crown Joule(s) ya might say of USA social policy
There's not enough geothermal power resources to ignore. Trivializing nothing is a waste of energy. Better to burn-up all that cheap Wa. state hydropower by keeping Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle lights burning brightly 24/7... and let Ca. weinerdudes freeze in their hot tubes.
Sociological science:
"Meanwhile, the rest of us will proceed with Real Science (TM), which involves building the best testable hypothesis for what we can see, and testing it."
Too bad, Jackson. NONE of "superb" science was built using this "sociological" method. Not Newtons Laws, not Stat-Mech, not Maxwells equations, not QM of any variety and above all not GR. All were highly speculative 'fringe' ASSERTIONS. True enough, biology is more like history than "real science" with nekked naturalists wandering the green meadows... but do you think Rosie Franklin was testing-an-hypothesis when she slapped that powered DNA sample under the X-ray beam... ? Or was she just getting her (FT) rocks off?
Yes -- the fact that our Arcturian overlords scatterred life_designing "bio-spacepods" over snowball Earth notwithstanding.... However, Director of Science Curriculum is NOT a scientific , but IS a political office. Texas, right? So if ya can't scramble eggs, don't turn on the oven.
More simpering by the feel-good sociology crowd. Value consists NOT in what you do, but in how you feel. Political pandering too, since if you can't get about your business then Unkul_Sammy and his village needs take you in tow.
I believe those rock movements are designed and photon-gradient levitated by our Arcturian overlords. Can you imagine random water_gushes pushing them?
I looked at several of the videos. Well done animation, and AFAIK ( at least ) not grossly false. It was molecular/micro_biology and evidently has nothing to do with evolution or ID. Unless you believe everything must. Now it's true, biology is more like history than physics where the universe refreshes ( for a particle ) every time its' wavefunction collapses. Or not. But Genghis Kan may well have been... himself... even if the Persians had not been trounced at Marathon. Eh?
Intent == "thought crime" ?? Of-course it's impossible to know "intent". Even introspection cannot claim the same level of 'truth' as external behavior. OTOH it's possible for data to be assembled as evidence of X, only to have !X be the "better" conclusion. See Ptolomy (earth_centric) , Maxwell( aether) etc for examples.
Well no crap butt-head. A computer user PAYS the OS ( if only opportunity costs ) to, duh... operate-the-system. If some slut-faced Slackmolian weiner_dude insists on sticking his thumbs into the mix then that's his problem. We really don't need him to continue breathing regular. Eh ?
... we do not say they were right. We say they grasped power to do as they saw fit -- that is, they were free men. They are separated from personal tyrany/thuggary -- as history judges -- by how far they spread that power to the men around them. Not perfect, mind, but better than most. Compared to the sniggering cosmopolitans currently in power they were giants.
Sure... the ballot goes into a super-position of Republi-nazis and Stalinocrates. When later observed by a human viewer the ballot collapses to the infamous. but well known with a probabuility of 1.0

Toilet paper IS a luxury ... stick it up your azzwhole and save some money.
Nope --- Libertoons have NO sence of balance: If ya don't cut the cord, you're the Borg ... or suchlike.
If 19th century theology is opium then 21th Century bio-evol is cocaine. Smoke 'em up, gents ...
OOps ... damn those facts! There go two dozen lit-crit physics grants down-da-tube.

Auzzi-nanny-land ... it's Stalinist for puzzy, mate ....
If the price is "too" high, then don't buy the product. A 'toy' should have an infinite price-elasticity ... you are NOT entitled to be amuzed.
Hummm ... AFAIK tin-cans, vacuum tubes and SS_chips all obey the laws of QM.

Then don't buy what you cannot use as you wish.
Hasn't GOOGLE already built-out, and don't they already run their own ( backbone ) network? It's this current bidding only about the "last mile"?
Fair? SCO !! Hang em' high and watch em' twitch.
I bet ... one banana, two banana, three ....
