Sometimes we forget that intelligence is more of a gradient than a flatly attributable category.

True! So it's been upgraded from Not-Canon-At-All to The-Only-Canon!

:)

Behold the power of Handwave:

So much work. And games! And people. And birthday. And games!

They don't all need to be, but if some of them are I'm not going to turn my nose up :P

Yeah, but that was C-canon wasn't it? Now it's promoted all the way up to G-canon :O

What's next, someone wielding two double-bladed lightsabers like a baton twirler?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy

Is this video played out yet?

DNA is literally code fed into a chemical processor.

Slime molds are not terribly more complex than amoeba and already outperform robotic path-finding algorithms.

That's the thing, isn't it? I don't see a reason to think "not having been programmed" is a relevant trait when you're talking machine intelligence.

Could you mention some of the things amoebas do that a computer couldn't be programmed to do? Given equivalent sensor/movement capability

It's striking that even the simplest forms of life — the amoeba, for example — exhibit an intelligence, an autonomy, an originality, that far outstrips even the most powerful computers.

I keep asking that question too, but they never answer! Is that The Thing To Do back at Troll Central or what?

I probably wouldn't call Barney ejaculating on Margot in the shower, and her punching him in the face, a "romance", but otherwise I agree >_>

It's a genuine, original hardware-possible glitch

Definitely. The right answer to every sex question ever is always: It depends.

I think it's more a matter of motivation, maybe? I mean, it's not exactly rocket science, just one or two things to keep in mind and then persistence
