I never wrote them down but I too had mental checklists when I was young. Personally all the worry I had around them was needless and I'm glad they no longer rule my life. It's a mentality I'm glad I outgrew.

In the future they won't be.

They've been looking for other hypothetical forms of matter for decades now, tachyons, magnetic monopoles, axions, twistors and on and on. For every predicted particle we've actually found, there are many more we never do. Negative mass remains purely hypothetical. Until we have some, I remain skeptical.

I take your point. However, I want to emphasize that this should proof not to be any impossible barrier to surmount in the building of sapient machines one day.

Well, if the powers that be post more articles like this here, I may consider other visits. Until then, I bid you all well.

Well, most of the time Jez doesn't really discuss things I'm interested in but, this article was an exception. Naming myself an interloper was a bit of dry wit.

Well maybe. I was just interested in the topic is all. Not often that I see something like this highlighted on Jezebel.

Yep, "We're all in this together," is definitely a sentiment I can support.

Visting interloper from IO9 here, yeah, I definitely agree. If the world is trashed that badly, and most especially if we were the ones that did it, I'm heading out. I want no part of the human race anymore, if we're that stupid.

Well I pretty much got all this covered I think. Fight the power, sisters!

Hollywood can go fornicate itself. I think it's sheer and utter laziness on the part of directors, screenwriters and all associated with film-making that they can't depict these situations realistically and dramatically. Kubrick showed the way.

I do too. But we're technicians or power users, which I think is Pugsleh's point.

Yes! That's a great video!

1) To briefly summarize: absurdist, physicalist, rationalist, skeptic.

Understood. Well never use this expression again.

Yeah, freakybarber and I already went all around this. I understand and apologize and etc. Anyway no threesomes for us.

I wasn't aware of that. I just thought a tinker was essentially a medieval handyman who did repairs of things. Okay, I'll just stop using it.

Perhaps so.
