I think one thing we often assume is that we make something that can learn, then it exponentially increases in intelligence to the point where it takes over (violently or not). What this relies on is that all intelligence can be deduced given enough brainpower. Just because an AI can think REALLY hard doesn't mean it…

Now that's a Walrus!

I'm having difficulty deciding what to say. Ill go with: simple yet intriguing concept with excellent execution.

I dont care if ratings are on the books themselves but it is really difficult to find out the content of books in general. I'm not a huge fan of books riddled with f-words and sex. I'm an adult there's not a lot of resources for content advisories above the YA level.

I have to agree with you. Rather than have some ultimately unsatisfying explanation for the island (assuming one exists), the show ends on the note that it's the relationships of the people that matter. Really, that was what the show was about, the connections of the people. All the craziness of the island was a…

I like the suit design. The plot seems a little cliche but maybe a feature length would provide more flexibility.

My mother's father has a full head of silver hair at 75. I'm 28 and have noticeably thinned hair. Don't rule out the curse some of us have to bear.

I only comment when I add something insightful or funny (rarely) to the conversation. I also look in the comment section of every post because it adds to the experience of the content.

English is already a standard language among aviators. Maybe it will be Chinese for space but I can see humanity adopting a single language for practical applications. This could lead to the slow loss of individual languages as its need decreases.

Labor negotiations resume for Lunar farmers.

To address HP Hatecraft's request: Brandon Sanderson's Steelheart is about a dystopian society run by people who have been mysteriously granted powers during an event in the past known as Cataclysm. It's not the best Brandon Sanderson book but I liked it and it definitely fits the bill.

I think there's a semantics issue here. They mean 2D vs 3D in the art style, not the glasses vs no glasses kind. Like if the movie was drawn rather than rendered.

While maybe not the MOST bleak, the show revolves around the remnants of humanity slowly decreasing in population over the course of a few years. The point where D commits suicide is an especially low point.

Anyone notice the glowing aura around Neil from 1:40 to the end? Makes him seem more prophetic about climate change.

I personally believe they were not metaphors. Those are some of those points that ARE essential to Christianity.

I see it this way: the essential point in this story is that man IS fallen, thus in need of salvation. The belief that this fall occurred through the physical act of Adam and Eve consuming the forbidden fruit then parenting the human family, is not the part that is of eternal consequence.

I have my own religious beliefs which has many accompanying beliefs that are either explicitly or implicitly at odds with scientific knowledge.

How are any of these remotely as terrifying as Godzilla's breath (which presumably would destroy your entire body) other than that they really exist?

If that were true, there should be a more pronounced shadow judging from the sun on his back.
