@corpore-metal: I had not heard of that particular philosophy. Epistemology is not really my strong suit. But that does seem like a logical way to summarize what I'm implying.

@Kamigoroshi: But, what if what you consider anticipating and proactive thinking is, in and of itself, simply a repose to stimuli, I'll be it a more complex one. Not to say you were always destined to make that plan or anticipate that event, but that there was always a probability that it would happen, given your…

@PlaidNinja: Just throwing this out there, what if there is no fate or destiny AND choice is an illusion with no meaning.

My choice would of course be different if I'd taken this at different times of my life. Ten years ago I would have killed to know what job I as going to work so I didn't have to pick myself, and three years ago I would have liked to know the name of the person I'm best suited for.

@The Squid: Well, Dr. Bishop is pretty much the most awesome thing ever. But really, Reed is still much more of a mad scientist, if only because his resume is signification longer (not intended as a Mr. Fantastic pun).

I really want a ZPM.

@Haenf: Shepard is so much more awesome as a woman than as a man.

That is maybe the coolest thing I've ever heard of. Ever.

@itstimetopaytheprice: The bad, present-day guy who thinks he Sartre. Subtle difference.

@syrdax: There is no end to how amazing Bioware really is.

@bawheid: "and he's now powerful and daft"

@syafiqjabar of Mars: Come one. Even the most hard core Cameron haters have to admit that seeing a 3-D view of the surface of Mars is going to be pretty damn awesome.

@Gidim: But what is the crash like when you go of the antidepressants and before the body starts making it's own chemicals again?

So what, if any, are the long term effects of killing off the miR-16s?

@SG-17: There are person-hood laws going through for dolphins and great apes to give them rights as people. But I agree that parrots (I knew a gray parrot that could open a combination lock!) and crows should be added to the list.
