Hallucinations don't count. People see many things that aren't real, especially concerning deceased relatives. You voided one of your own references as well. Spiritualism is a religion, it's practitioners are self-serving like all the others.
Me is a self-referent. If somehow you or most anybody got cloned down the the atomic structure level, the you that you are at the moment wouldn't at all look at the other as "me". Rather as some other person who is just like you - a copy. This will be reinforced by the very act of going in to get copied. How would you know it was the "you" that came in? You would still be in the same place when you woke up, if you had to go to sleep at all. The other you would "occur" somewhere else on receiving consciousness.
To accomplish tricking you into not knowing, they would have to go to some extremes that I'd bet solid money on would be highly illegal at that time.
That's a very physics dependent mystical view of what "me" means.
f you believe in souls, not an issue. Twins have two.
How indeed? The brain's state isn't just some electronic pattern, it's also the hormonal bath the brain resides in. Duplicate that in silicon. You would at the very best wind up with some android-like entity. This presumes you can "transfer" a dead brain. If you do it with a living one, you have an self-evident mental clone. Don't blame the parent though, when geeks think about these kinds of things, they tend to equate biology with circuitry.
So you would be all right with a page of say a hundred jpgs of paintings and all the text describing each one mashed together at the bottom? Clearly you have not thought his through.
Kind of the entire point of having a little robot on Mars is to gander at each and every "interesting" thing they roll up to.
Rover isn't a full blown laboratory, it's a slightly smarter than dumb camera. It will die. Catalog all the interesting things you see before it does so, then send another robot tailored to inspect instead of find.
You understand that this very rant is a good excuse for someone to not hire you, right? It isn't just drunk pictures, it's opinionated text that's a danger as well. Opinionated as in, not the same opinion as theirs.
Those are major now prevalent in our culture because we've basically done away with the things that typically killed you first. Things that killed you more horribly and with greater percentages of the population, by the way.
As I pointed out elsewhere, use the smouldering end of a twig. Singing was routinely practiced until the early 1900's, even in the US. Worked fine apparently.
The authors of the opinion piece did: "almost half of all Indian immigrants and over half of Chinese immigrants". That's race unless you believe that all Chinese are Mandarin and all Indians are from southern India.
And a lame assumption based on spoon-fed college sociology. Because over a century wasn't enough time? Please. You also might do some historical reading on Africa, colonialists have historically done far less damage than their own despots.
Was this piece from a peer reviewed scientific paper or not? That is the question/.ers frequently ask. Were these people "experts" in their fields or not is another. If the answer to both is no.....
Lawyers writing an opinion piece doth not science make, neither real nor social science.
Holy crap, was that soft bigotry or what? I've read equally well reasoned and crafted posts by every race. It displays a fine intellect only, no cultural superiority.

Whoosh.
However, this is not at all news. It's been known for years how they do it.
"Graphic designer era"? You really think that graphic design is new? Even handouts from Elizabethan times used design.
Unlike a site with no layout, where you scroll up and down to find the portion you want to read or interact with.
Give a cite or admit you pulled that "fact" out of your butt.

Of course it is.

It's called a feedback page. No need to spy for the info.
Why do you have that kind of phone instead of a simple phonic device? Yes, they exist, i have one.
Actually, that *is* how they lived. You just neglected the part about the rest of the world trying to kill them during acquisition.

It's not epidemic, it's disclosure.

While funny, a simple flake would be sharp enough. Or for that matter, the smoldering end of a burnt twig for beard and mustache shaping.

Now, now. If that's the only authority figure he recognizes, it's only natural he assumes others would recognize the same authority
Whoosh on the original sarcasm.
extreme pedantry = tortured logic = disingenuous conversation
