Exactly. OP just expects us to trust him to judge what is "sense" and what is "nonsense". The fact that a phrase was generated mechanically tells nothing about which it is.
It is unimaginably stupid to suggest the President Bush willfully overlooked an attack on the United States on the basis of "family friends" as you have, as is any suggestion that the attack was allowed for political advantage. You've suggested both
Because they are both true.
In case anybody was unaware, cold_fjord is a notorious NSA apologist.
Oh, really? So the Barbary slave trade brought millions of enslaved whites to the southern U.S.? Because that is what is being discussed here. Shithead.
People who graduate in Medieval fine art, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Sumerian philosophy or whatever do not expect to be working in those fields once they leave college, except for the few who go into academia.
And the ones that don't get into academia wind up as debt-laden baristas.
consider someone who does a degree in Pure Maths or Theoretical Physics: they are just as likely to end up as a lawyer or banker as any sort of scientist.
I'm guessing that is a fancy term for "psychologist". You certainly don't sound like a real scientist.
Thousands of people walking around today were once frozen embryos. It's called In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). There's no reason why that same process couldn't be done on a starship.
As for "why?", it's the same answer why people explored antarctica, climbed the highest mountains, and dived to the depths of the ocean. It's called "adventure" and is the driving spirit of humanity.
A million people? No problem. You could store tens of millions of frozen human embryos in a one liter flask. Those people could travel for thousands of years with no food, no water, and consuming no energy.
The ship would house a few hundred female crewmembers in hibernation, who would awaken and impregnate themselves with the embryos ever few years.
After the children are raised by the crewmembers, they would go into hibernation while the adults live out the rest of their lives on the ship.
People may be willing to spend months in a tin can to get somewhere, but years is another matter.
People will be willing to spend any amount of time in a "tin can" if they are unconscious, in some form of suspended animation or hibernation. This is already common in other mammals, so it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt to humans.
And these JohnnyCabs won't have to be able to go everywhere. If they can just navigate between the airport and all the hotels in the city, that alone would be able to kill the taxi business.
And none of this would have happened if academics hadn't worked out the details of quantum mechanics, which is the basis of all semiconductors. Note that knallow is another libertarian (i.e. asshole) economist, like the author of the article.

I wouldn't say MUCH more time is needed.
Easy to say, without defining "MUCH more time".
10 years? 100 years? 1000 years?
Nobody has a clue.
Or do you happily state without equivocation that unicorns don't exist?
No, I say that I am deeply skeptical that unicorns exist. And I will stay that way until someone shows me evidence that they do.
I do.
What does that have to do with the distinction between coincidence and purpose?
Exactly.
OP just expects us to trust him to judge what is "sense" and what is "nonsense". The fact that a phrase was generated mechanically tells nothing about which it is.
No, it implies "nothing is Godlike".
Jar Jar existed from the time of the first movies, he was definitely in the first comics.
Can you provide a reference, please?

HaHa!
Your link is for "Volvo + pollution".
You're the one who is too dumb to use Google properly.

Shithead.
Yeah, those damn Californie types and their loony "science stuff"!
Only if you equate "science-based" with "hopelessly biased".
And that was at the behest of the fucking Saudi royal family.
There is no proof CO2 is causing warming.
Damn straight! Same for that gravity stuff.
You don't actually think they are calling people do you?
Maybe.

Beats a barista.
Those billions may have (or be able to get) food.
What about clean water? What about all the pollution they create?
We have already far exceeded the number of people that the earth can sustain without great suffering for the poorest third of the earth.
You freeze embryos, not adults. Idiot.
I am a neuroscientist

What is so hard about prolonged statis?
Many other mammals hibernate - there's no reason we couldn't.
Nobody said it would be easy.
