  1. Let's get a thread going that showcases the deep intelligence of survival in nature. This helps people see the intelligence and sneakiness of survival in the human realm. Try to post examples not merely of survival, but the intelligent, deceptive, and sneaky nature of survival.
  2. I'm not sure. It's a deep issue. Requires lots of careful contemplation.
  3. It's hard to adapt to chronic health problems. Or to be happy. When your health fails you will see how much happiness requires health. Intelligence cannot save you from losing your health.
  4. I reject the notion that space needs to be bent at all. That is still a limit. Just leap to wherever in space you want to be! Does your PlayStation need to bend space in order to teleport you from one corner of Skyrim to the next? Do you really believe your PlayStation is more powerful than Reality? Haha!
  5. How is that conformity?? True shit is inherently funny. If you lived alone on a tropical island, you would still find true things funny. God does not need others to laugh at Itself. The funny comes for free.
  6. Aliens saw us in the bathroom and made a vow to never contact us again. Aliens came to Earth and did the Homer Simpson backs away into the bushes meme.
  7. More like, with AI the science bros are like: "Look! This PC can talk so AGI is here!"
  8. Actually it does. That means light speed limit is bullshit. There should be a way to hop between space using advanced consciousness. The idea that aliens are limited to light speed is so myopic. These are limits of the human mind, not Reality at large.
  9. I watch a lot of non-fiction content on YouTube. I liked Gravity.
  10. This crazy bird: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZKtur2AAQL
  11. Meh. Not great but okay. Ironically, I was okay with The Martian. Not great but decent. Far better than Riddely Scott's trash Alien sequels.
  12. It's a perfect little sci-fi film.
  13. I have not been to a movie theater since 2015's The Martian, starring Matt Damon
  14. I kinda like Tom Hanks. He's got more charm than Matt Damon. Tom Hanks was great in Finch. Of course, neither one should be playing Odysseus. Nolan's casting was so bad. What was he thinking?
  15. In the future AI Qaeda will just be a bunch of angry computer nerds sitting in a dark basement.
  16. That actually means it requires more intelligence to do good spirituality than good mathematics or physics. The fact that no one can peer-review your work makes the work all the more self-deceptive and challenging. It doesn't take much epistemic skill to follow the rules of math like a machine. It takes extraordinary intelligence to do spirituality and not make any mistakes because no system exists to save you. Spirituality is like threading a needle. Science is like driving down a highway. It is not hard to sell snake oil as a scientist. String theorists have been doing it for 50 years
  17. Yup. Good one. It was a bit too weird to be a blockbuster. Same for Annihilation. He is so meh. Most overrated actor of our time after Pedro Pascal.
  18. Well, they are not in danger in space, but they are in danger if they have to land and speak with us face to face. You'd have to be pretty suicidal to land on the White House lawn for a chit-chat with Trump.
  19. Ants are more collectivist than humans because they don't have egos. But even the biggest ant colony is smaller than a large human city. Ants are more like a single super-organism, while humans are not.
  20. The one imagining is INFINITY. INFINITY is the only thing that's not a hallucination.
  21. Who is they? Ants or aliens??
