- Ghosts are real, but they aren't people's departed souls. They're imprints of people's bio-electric energy on the fabric of the Earth's leylines.

- The Yeti is real, but Sasquatch is not.

I think your close, but it think it's more likely to say "this is FOR Judge Dredd.... and The Hot Chick.... And The Animal... and Deuce Bigalow.... oh and for all the really lame cameos in Adam Sandler movies.... And for not acually making Rob Schinedier is The Stapler, Rob Schinedier is The Caroot or Rob Schienedier is Durbabadurbabadur. "

Oh wait, I don't believe any of that.

I guess my most hysterical belief is that Wendy's has better hamburgers than McDonald's. Does that count?

When i was young i believed that lifts (or elevators, if you must) were powered by dragons. there was a hook on the top of each lift that the dragon, who lived in a shed on the roof, would slip his tail into and lift to whichever floor you wanted. It did this as part of an old truce with the government - the army wouldn't wipe them out if they stayed out of sight and did something useful and, in return, once a month, the dragon could take one lift all the way up to the top and eat all the occupants.

If I do not believe this now, why do I still dislike lifts?

That the Fox network hates me, and that they cancel shows bases solely on how much I like them.

Oh and that if you play Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead back to back while playing a CD by either 98 Degrees, LFO, or O-Town in the background a portal to Hell will open at your feet.

Wow.

I don't see Family Guy having a long run. It was a show ahead of it's time. Unfortunately, I think now it's a show past it's time.


But what I really wanted to say:

It is completely possible that The Departed might be such a well-made movie that it DOES get him the Oscar. Now imagine that the studios go nuts and start buying MORE foreign titles and remaking them with more well known directors. That's where Cohen comes in making his PG-13 BATTLE ROYALE.

And then the world will end in a pink blast of nukes and cotton candy.

I believe that if we make it through the Peak Oil crisis, I will live to see the Technological Singularity, and maybe live forever.

A small sample from near the start of the page I linked:
Quote:
It began three and a half billion years ago in a pool of muck, when a molecule made a copy of itself and so became the ultimate ancestor of all earthly life.

It began four million years ago, when brain volumes began climbing rapidly in the hominid line.

Fifty thousand years ago with the rise of Homo sapiens sapiens.
Ten thousand years ago with the invention of civilization.
Five hundred years ago with the invention of the printing press.
Fifty years ago with the invention of the computer.

In less than thirty years, it will end.

At some point in the near future, someone will come up with a method of increasing the maximum intelligence on the planet - either coding a true Artificial Intelligence or enhancing human intelligence. An enhanced human would be better at thinking up ways of enhancing humans; would have an "increased capacity for invention". What would this increased ability be directed at? Creating the next generation of enhanced humans.

And what would those doubly enhanced minds do? Research methods on triply enhanced humans, or build AI minds operating at computer speeds. And an AI would be able to reprogram itself, directly, to run faster - or smarter. And then our crystal ball explodes, "life as we know it" is over, and everything we know goes out the window.

"Here I had tried a straightforward extrapolation of technology, and found myself precipitated over an abyss. It's a problem we face every time we consider the creation of intelligences greater than our own. When this happens, human history will have reached a kind of singularity - a place where extrapolation breaks down and new models must be applied - and the world will pass beyond our understanding."
-- Vernor Vinge, True Names and Other Dangers, p. 47.

There are multiple paths to the Singularity. Nanotechnology - the ability to build computers atom by atom and rewire brains neuron by neuron. Artificial Intelligence, self-understanding and self-enhancing seed AI. We could bootstrap our way to the Singularity via the relatively mild enhanced humans produced by neurohacking. Direct neuron-to-silicon interfaces could improve human intelligence or computer intelligence or both. Or some completely unanticipated breakthrough could occur.

A civilization with high technology is unstable; it ends when the species destroys itself or improves on itself. If the current trends continue - if we don't run up against some unexpected theoretical cap on intelligence, or turn the Earth into a radioactive wasteland, or bury the planet under a tidal wave of voracious self-reproducing nanodevices - the Singularity is inevitable. The most-quoted estimate for the Singularity is 2035 - within your lifetime! - although many, including I, think that the Singularity may occur substantially sooner.

That'll never happen if Microsoft has any say in the matter.

That was a good read, by the way.

- Brains need to be fed, if you don't constantly present it with new stimulus it will slowly grow weak
