Don't curse at me.

So, imagine on another planet, beset with peace, and looking to science, but 2,000 years or 20,000 years of this kind of progress...

I read a book called Americas 5,000 year leap. Which is roughly what we got with 200 years of this country. (about 10 generations of execution on solid ideas).

May you live in interesting times!

Amazing, is it not, that in a mere 200 years we've gone from Science Fiction to Science reality in terms of AI and other science manifistations.

I've been told that they can't help it. It's their nature. That's true also for bugs. But then, that's what Raid is for.

I like the idea of no representation for California but would also like to include the rest of the states that are sanctuary states.

I thought you had to have a birth certificate (or at least copy thereof) to get a driver's license. I can't
drive (epilepsy), but I got a picture ID at the DMV, and I had to have a birth certificate (I think it was a
copy). But then, this is Virginia, not California.

I was being too kind. You are right. They need to go there and not come back. Would love to see them in burkas.

Not just for awhile.

Of course. (Not to mention there can be no rational consent for abuse.)

I'm not so sure about that, Herb7734. I don't see how a "minority of eastern nutcases" could have forced so many "good, rational persons" to consistently vote socialist/progressive/democrat.

You're welcome. Glad to be of service. :-)

"No State? No Representation" - Herb, I like your idea, I think it's premise is solid. Have you sent it to the White House yet? You know you can Tweet or FaceBook it directly to the Chief. Just think of the great benefit to the American people in the House and Senate too, not limited to the removal of Pelosi, Waters, & Feinstein. Do it, MAGA.

This, I actually struggle with. As humans, we are sacks of chemical reactions, requiring food, and having biochemistry that can affect our thought processes... Computers, not so much.

We have a boredom flag that gets set, and we actually change what we are doing. We have distraction sensitivity that various (I have studied this to allow me to focus deeper, no email pop ups, etc while I am working). We can actually be physically injured, and hence medicine...

But they have AIs that are already starting to dream. I think the part that will put them ahead of us is actually Curiosity.
when they get Curious, and utilize resources on their own, then the next step is advanced problem solving, testing and tracking. This could be dangerous if they decide to be curious about what causes humans physical pain. Or if causing one pain alleviates another pain, or just masks it.

We could literally be watching the creation of Skynet...

The ice palace will be fun to see as it is located in front of the the landmark center building my daughter was married in 9 years ago. Check it out.
Very pretty.

The super bowl is being
Played 10 miles away.
I will watch to see all the hoopla going on around.
The Vikings new facilities were just located in my community just down the road.

I've thought about those commercials I like to watch during that game.
My conclusion: They will all reappear with TV shows later. I'll catch them then.

There will be a lot more of us that will be doing the same thing, Dino. I might watch the commercials and take my bathroom breaks during the game

Absolutely! But these jerks come from a culture where women are sub human. It might be a good idea if the Hollywood elite would go to Syria to live for awhile.

Sean Hannity will only watch college football now.
I was pretty much doing the same before all the genuflecting with the exception of the Super Bowl.
Now no more Super Bowls for Dino Allosaurus Esquire.
Me taking a knee on that.

Even if women were to be walking around naked
That doesn't give any consent for abuse.

If the question is who do you want to come into your country ? It would be a law abiding human who can become self sufficient and is interested in preserving individuals Liberty. In Sweden as well as Germany, France these gangs of Muslim men have acted similarly., The real deal is a majority of the "refugees" have been indoctrinated into hating "the west" from birth. They have been seen in the millions chanting " death to America" . Their true knowledge of infidels is zip. We have no value. They have no interest in being respectful neighbors. They have
no drive to accomplish anything in the here and now , but a pure Muslim globe. The vicious culture they have grown up in is a war zone. The raping of enemy women is a reward to the victors in battle.
It has happened recently in Iraq , Syria , Egypt, Libya.

Yes. However, a girl need not even smile.....simply be present and the thugs believe it is their right!

Oh the History Channel they told the story of San Francisco in the gold rush era. It was so wild people armed themselves to kill or lock up the unlawful element. That was when Alcatraz Island was made into a prison. Some things over time do not change. If we don't return to law and order here, similar actions will take place here, IMHO.

When AI can achieve the creation of new ideas on a par with humans and can self replicate, They will be immortal and no longer see the need for humans to exist. .

The problem is that they don't see the problem. They have been taught since childhood that there is good in bad people and all they have to do is bring it out and all will be http://well.To me, that's the equivalent of mumbling gibberish.Movies for example from Disney to Star Wars gad is converted to good for no apparent reason.Beauty converts the beast, Luke converts his father, and they die as good guys. Never mind how much evil they have done in the interim..
