A philosopher who appreciated engineering. RIP Daniel Dennett.

Another feature that make birds really remarkable, if not mistaken, is that they take in oxygen when they inhale AND exhale. Feathers are great, but a creature such as B6 still needs a lot of energy to fly for 10 days straight.

Wars between developed states, who can more easily afford this stuff, are gradually becoming (have become?) a thing of past, and thank goodness.

This brings up an interesting question: If the control was fully automated, the computer entirely in charged, would this have happened?

Call me a cynic, but the most likely explanation for all of this is the Military-Industrial Complex looking for small ways to keep obscene tax money flowing into it. The rebranding of "UFO" to "UAP" is a dead giveaway, j

Definitely a prisoner's dilemma .. an applicable take on where all this is going is Popper's Paradox Of Tolerance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance ). Not sure that Elon and many other seemin
