Equating consciousness with a soul is certainly a huge leap in logic at best. Are we to believe that a person knocked unconscious whether temporarily or permanently suddenly loses his soul? I think that violates the fundamentals of every major religion that exists or has ever existed.
Exception occurred: attempted to divide by zero, {logic--->religion}, try replacing 'logic' with 'faith'.
Weird that the victim comes out richer. I would argue that if anybody is the victim, it is the john. Let's analyze this:
Two strangers come together for sex.
One leaves with more money, the other with less.
Wouldn't you think if there was a victim, it would be the person who participated in exactly the same act, but came out with less money? The john is the victim of his sex drive.
If only we could get them to work as hard at improving the products they are hawking as they work on sending their spam, I'd be rich as hell with a giant penis!
Obama has more experience in knowing what actual Americans are going through daily than McCain or republicans
Add to that the fact that he owns a globe and can actually "see" all of the world's nations from his study. That right there is major foreign policy experience.
Cubits? It is the Ark of Ahno who's planet is currently experiencing some technical difficulties because of their refusal to teach High IQ Planet Modeling to their younglings. Also, their leader, Rackob Myamba, refused to stop funding Root Pod research. Take heed!
Most data remains secure/not-stolen simply by accident.
Actually, this is how most of my own security is done, e.g. figuring the odds. I lock my door at night, but is that going to stop someone determined to break in to my house? I play the odds that if criminals are randomly selecting houses to break in to that, just like the lottery, my number wont come up. It's not to say that more shouldn't be done, but like you said, it involves trade offs with other things that are also important (profits, ease, etc.)
Speaking of self replicating, I had sex last night with a supermodel (almost). Well, I guess that depends on what is meant by almost. Also, the definition of supermodel might be relevant here 8^)
It sounds more like you are a "fucking idiot" for moving there if you do not like how things are.
Yeah, I should have informed my parents that I didn't want to be born here.
If you call someone a "fucking idiot" for something where you have a wrong assumption, what does that make you? Also, why did you put quotes around "fucking idiot"? Are you quoting yourself?
I live in Utah. I think that moving more power locally is a fucking stupid idea. Adulthood is already banned here to the extent that they (Utah's Legislature) think that they can get away with. Please do not hand them more power.
The problem is that he doesn't see the bias because its just every natural to think that way.
Agreed. A great site that I found for helping me to see and try and overcome my biases is overcomingbias.com Mostly the editors Robin Hanson and Eliezer Yudkowsky post, but I've seen posts by others. Most of the things on there are thought provoking and well written.

How can we obtain beliefs closer to reality?[...] We want to avoid, or at least minimize, the startling systematic mistakes that science is discovering. If we know the common patterns of error or self-deception, maybe we can work around them ourselves, or build social structures for smarter groups. We know we aren't perfect, and can't be perfect, but trying is better than not trying.

Simulatneously , being organic it competes against other organics, so does not have the same accuracy requirements. Close enough is good enough.

BEHOLD, Sarah Palin also does mathematics.
this for an answer as to if in theory, it is going to happen.

The solution is to have a free for all, whereby vaccine writers are free to play by the same rules as virus writers.
Can I test out the "solutions" first on the network you manage.

Nah, they would be declared a terrorist nation, invaded, and all its citizens would be shipped off to Guantanamo. This would be a lot cheaper...
But at least they wouldn't be drowning.
Yup, cuz at gitmo they don't actually drown you, it's just simulated. :^(
... and just as effective.
