Unlike other robots that have to power every move, these three save energy by letting gravity do a lot of the work. Like humans, they pick up their feet and just let 'em drop.
Thinking of martial arts, until now I believed that it requires a lot of practicing to take advantage of the gravitation field indeed.
... there is no more connection between diet and learning ability between the disabled and normally abled.
Well, I have only recently realized (though being aware theoretically) that there is a remarkable influence of nutrition on system performance (as opposed to the masses, I am labouring with underweight).
Because the question isn't whether you practice Tai Chi, but whether you stop practicing Tai Chi,...
A bit of both perhaps?
Did I not come into this fray in support of that thesis?
Yes.
he average adult has a vocabulary of about 20k words, and actually uses much less than that on a routine basis. Let's be really generous, though, and assume we are dealing with highly literate people with a vocabulary of, oh say, 65536 words.;)
Still overly ptimistic, as a look at Zipf's Law (interesting also if you think RISC) might infer.
Back twenty years I was researching language skills of Turkish children and by then the basic German vocabulary was estimated to be at around 300. Chances are more like that there has not been a big boost since then.
Learning disabilities are a neurological disability.
There can be other factors which, if properly handled, might improve the overall situation, e.g. nutrition.
... and what effect they do have is acute, not chronic, like body building.
More like there is a time-lag as exercises do not have an immediate effect but build a structure that lasts and does not immediately fade away if exercises are stopped? - I practise Tai Chi and this is my experience.
The best thing you can do is learn to accept the fact that your brother is disabled, learn to cope with that, and hence help him to cope with it too.
Yes, and, AFAIK, psychologists might be the genre of choice when it comes to develop appropriate coping strategies. Bare with me, I am biased.
A world like this would be aweful since without literacy, the common man would become much more violent and hostile unable to connect to others in any manner other than brutal.
Given that all except priests are common we already have a smell (taste, depends on how you scale) of it.
It is German for either "Boxing" or "to box". So it might be appropiate for those still wrestling with their boxes (or more the soft parts of these (or their own wet ones (- if in existence))).
Personally, I'd only pay for this if at least some percentage of the donation were recouped from the advertising purchases.
Lets do some vision:
COMMon UNIfied STartrek - first attempt to establish open source media project with a working fund-driven (that is the difference from profit) business model.

Often, the issue isn't psychology but neurology
A (competent) psychologist would check for that.
after all, a psychiatrist is a physician who applies pharmaceutical technologies to psychological problems
Well, tell this a German psychiatrist. But a good definition - not much emphasized here, though, AFAIAA.

being able to see the concepts in their hands is probably a far better means of education than just a computer
Human Relations. Well.

what makes you think any amount of technology could help? computers can't work miracles. psychiatry ... might.
Almost agreed; I would have said psychology & friends instead.
