• Commented on Panpsychism and Hylozoism
  Also, the idea of proving panpsychism by some technology that allows telepathy makes me angry. It just seems so stupid to me. The workings of the human mind is not some mystical thing that arises out of nothing. The brain...
• Commented on Panpsychism and Hylozoism
  I don't feel like I have a use for either hylozoism nor panpsychism. I believe that both of them can only have ethical ramifications, and I would prefer to keep those considerations simple by including only those beings capable of...

• Commented on Vernor Vinge predicts singularity by 2030
  I think cybernetic enhancement of human thought via fast direct interfacing between human brains and computers is a reasonable thing to anticipate within the near future. The technology is there, though it's in its infancy. Real self-improving intelligence doesn't seem...

• Commented on What Not To Do This Earth Day
  @4 I totaly agree. Although for me environmentalism really is mostly about aesthetics. I only really think about it when I see something ugly happening. And that kind of environmentalism would probably work fine, after some kind of global pandemic...

• Commented on TV reporter forgets he is on live TV, says bad word, then blanches in horror

• Commented on The New Yorker on the underground world of “neuroenhancing” drugs.
  @Maggie Koerth-Baker. Not to be a pedant, but you mean Methylin, not Methvlin. I'm glad it works for you. @26 The position that taking stimulants to get ahead is cheating is laughable. Would you stand by the position that drinking...

• Commented on The New Yorker on the underground world of “neuroenhancing” drugs.
  I take piracetam an choline citrate. It helped me when I quit caffeine and nicotine. It may help my cognition, but not in nearly as noticeable a way as caffeine. @3 Maggie Koerth-Baker How long have you been taking Methylphenidate?...

  well hewwo to you too. Seriously though, to supplement interlibrary loans there should be a scan-exchange program in which you offer to scan a book in your library in exchange for a scan of a book in another library. Sure...
• Commented on Pedal powered electricity generator
  @12 >>The CO2 you exhale came from plants that sequestered it from the air... To produce 1 kcal of plant protein requires an input of about 2.2 kcal of fossil energy. http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/78/3/660S...
