  • @NorvelMGMT I just looked him up. I want those minutes of my life back.

  • Alan Watt makes this man look like an apprentice.

  • I love Noam's political discourse, but DAMN he needs to give more science lectures!

  • What most scientists miss in explaining consciousness and evolution (and plans to make a robot) is hunger, thirst, sex, fear of injury or death and other vital necessary needs. A biological entity must eat and drink so any thoughts, desires, direction must be based on that. Avoidance of death is essential. After that the niceties.

  • I can tell you that human, insects, other animals are not in a hierarchical relationship to each other. We're on an equal level, and we can communicate together. There is a meeting ground. I have heard the language of insects, and one day you yourself may be born one. You can learn from their words, which are like the greatest choir.
