   Tha's what Roger Penrose argued in "Shadows of the Mind" where he theorizes about quantum effects in the human brain and how they might give rise to conciousness [1]. There's some criticism about it, because the brain is

   1) Power feels awesome. You'll use your power to get more power because it feels so good to see those you hate having to bow to you. 2) Educated people are dangerous as they will almost certainly doubt the legitimacy of your rule and m

   So far we've automated physical tasks. It was possible to go into intellectual jobs as an alternative avenue, since automating that wasn't possible. However now we're automating mental work. Humans can currently go into jobs

   Then again, the printer is just not working. It's not randomly printing things you don't want. In the same sense, a broken autonomous tank would just stop dead in its tracks instead of suddenly killing everything that moves. Those

   I'd argue that China, Russia and the US have already passed this point w.r.t. nucelar weapons: Every side is sufficiently armed so that a war between any of them cannot be won. As soon as you start winning in a conventional scenario th

   Just playing the devil's advocate here: * No soldiers of the side deploying armed drones need to be in danger. * Robots do not act cruelly unless specifically instructed. Humans do have a pretty bad record of unnecessary cruelty due to

    You are right in saying that Thorium reactors are receiving too little attention. However due to their breeder nature they also produce nuclear waste which needs to be stored for hundreds of years. The main advantage of fusion is that you o

    I'm not sure it's that, because German adapts to new concepts easily by simply concatenating old ones. The most popular example is probably "Doppelkupplungsgetriebe", which stands for dual-clutch transmission. This means

    A pixel is a unit on a 2D grid and a voxel is the counterpart in 3D. What makes voxels interesting is that you can build worlds out of them the palyer can shape, like Minecraft. The smaller your voxels, the better your world might be. The m

    Nations have no jurisdiction over outer space. Hence no nation can prohibit an orbit over its landmass. However the definition of where space begins is not precisely defined [1].

    All research into nuclear energy can be used for nuclear weapons. A nuclear reactor is just a well-cooled bomb that isn't supposed to explode violently (so to speak).

    Imagine if the governments in the Ukraine or Turkey had such a kill switch. They could instantly disable most of the communication between people protesting against the government.
