  • Peter, i wish you were on national TV at least two hours a day!

  • @Neanderthalcouzin well said! couldnt agree with you more. 

  • This dude is a genius.

  • Scarcity in nature is pervasive and easy to illustrate. Scarcity of sunlight in a tropical rainforest (that is why when a tree falls, and the canopy is opened up, it is swallowed up remarkably fast), scarcity of mates among competing antelopes, scarcity of other resources such as meat for a mother snow leopard trying to feed her young cub. The mechanism of scarcity in nature is fundamental and undeniable.

  • Please excuse the human typo ^ :-)

  • A machine does not feel emotion. Your computer does not have an opinion about anything, It is simply a tool for you, the user. The same applies to all technology. A robot will do only what it is programed to do.

    It's like raising a child. If you teach a child to hate - he will grow become hateful. Teach him to love - he will grow to be loving and caring.

    A programmer would have to ask - "What would would be the purpose or significance to design a robot that hates people?"

  • my simple questions to you are. If by some chance 1 machine gains the ability to feel emotion, will it really be able to on it's own do anything to threaten human kinda with out us not knowing what's going on? you think machines will suddenly have the capacity to stratagize some type of mass attack? if someone was killed by a machine it would be prevented immediately...people need to stop watching matrix and thinking it's plauseable

  • I don't think there will ever be a need for advanced "humanoid" robots. Even then, a robot can only do and understand what it's been programmed to do. It's only a matter of specific programming, much as a human who was never taught that stars are really balls of gasious energy lightyears away would never in a lifetime concieve of the idea.

  • I could go on and on with this, but yeah, you're right, GC was too...

  • A revolution is a "sudden" change based on a revelation, or an intellectual awakening. We have the knowledge to bring about a mass revelation, and the fact that some humans have the ability to understand the need for, and even develop a revolution proves that the species is evolved enough. We need a lot of progress, and a social revolution is just as fitting a term for that progress as evolution is as a metaphor.
