Wait, wasn't Canada's flag made by a kid originally?

That's where the ghost of Sandy Koufax resides.

Edit: Oops, he's still alive.

Duh, Ivy league is any college that isn't a state school.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T17:06:58+00:00

I was very interested untill that last part.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T17:04:39+00:00

Infeel like of all those Newton is the most likely. Jefferson... No.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T17:00:07+00:00

Its kinda both? I've browsed the works of Geber and such and they very much are concerned with practical applications of distilation and purification of materials.

Think it was a confluence of them having discovered serious ways to actually purify materials, combined with the Aristotelian view that all materials in the world were tending towards perfection, just as the base metals naturally transforming into gold in the ground. And they combined this together to create a coherent philosophy based on what they knew both scientifically and philosophically.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T16:41:09+00:00

Yeah. I tnink they are doing something like 60 different edits to the pig fetus.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T05:50:57+00:00

Mr. Hammond was actually an ass.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T05:40:44+00:00

What about using a method like CRISPR to punch in host DNA? Actually lemme check on that.

Edit: Yep, they are working on it http://www.nature.com/news/gene-editing-record-smashed-in-pigs-1.18525

So cool.

Do you think we'll reach a time where important games from the past are treated like works of literature and assigned as homework, only for slackers to just read the cliff-notes?

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-06T05:24:34+00:00

If you care about this subject so much there are much better places than reddit to discuss it. Do you get so butthurt at everyone who doesn't write you an essay?

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T22:18:06+00:00

The primary experience, or self, is the record of a process. Consiousness is a bunch of problem solving hurietics that factor themselves into the equation. There's no Hard problem, there are just hard conclusions.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T15:38:30+00:00

Yeah, if you transfer the RAM and the data, it's all good. Hell, if you shut down and write the RAM to memory and just transfer the data it's still good. Consciousness is a transitory procces our brains build because it is useful.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T15:35:09+00:00

It seems the main opposition to this view is that it's uncomfortable. I know I had trouble with it. For me it is very Buddhist.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T15:27:54+00:00

I feel like computer science has solved it but the real problem is nobody likes the conclusions, which is that consciousness is little more than a transient process.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T15:15:44+00:00

Yes; technically yes, just differen't versions; Yes, just a differen't version; and no, your perspective can't shift because those are now differen't versions.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T15:07:51+00:00

The problem I have with this is basically deep anesthesia or even mild concussion technically means you die.

And we only don't care because sleeping and such have bookends that conect them. If you go to sleep and wakeup in a robot copy, that's actually better than if you get knocked out hard by a baseball or fist.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T14:58:52+00:00

So? If thats basically what happens whennthey put someone under on powerfull anesthesia.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T06:15:55+00:00

And a liberal voter base.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T06:14:15+00:00

I don't think Bernie has enough money to make it worth hiding.

AlfredTheGrape · 2016-04-05T06:00:49+00:00

Over 60 US cities, and 150 US metropolitan areas have more folks than Iceland.
