    News Reason for conflicts in the world?

    Patriotism is obedience to a governmental authority. Nationalism is placing the goals of your genetic group above your own interests. If you care to look up the meaning of the word "nation", you will see that a nation is genetic, not geopolitical. (Quick distinction written for the benefit of...

    Is Ruby Still Relevant in the World of Programming?

    Do Animals Understand Themselves and Others?

    To actually lie requires consciousness. Animals are honest in that their natures are apparent. Humans have natures as well, but we can make an effort to choose certain facets to display. Look into 'social engineering'.

    Avoiding homelessness on short timescale

    You cannot discard your nature. If you mean that I must switch focus momentarily, then you are correct. A person can become a mirror of their environment, but that does not mean that it can be sustained. You dispute that my expression of love could be natural to me? Do you dispute the...

    Can you define a set by what it excludes?

    I'll probably read that book sometime in the next year, after I learn a lot more formal logic. I already know about the universal set issues (in fact, the book I'm using tries to use the label of a 'universal set' U that contains all possible answers to a problem, when really they mean the...

    Lingusitics How Did Language Evolve from Gestures to Complex Communication?

    Langauge probably originated in gesturing, as a means to communicate during hunting and such. Neanderthals were likely just as bright, if not brighter, than humans of 30K+ years ago. I state this based on brain size, which has a relatively strong correspondence with intelligence when primates...

    Fermi estimate of the week: Riemann hypothesis

I estimate 600K hours between 1859-1900, 1.7M hours between 1901-1950, and 2.8M hours between 1950-present, making 5.1M hours It needs another few years until I solve it (SARCASM, I PROBABLY WON'T SOLVE IT), so roughly 5.3M hours...

    Avoiding homelessness on short timescale

    I live in Lynnwood, WA. I'm 14 miles from the Space Needle. They, however, live in Portland, and a necessary condition of a relationship would be a resettling in Portland.

    Avoiding homelessness on short timescale

    I entered into a conversation with the person and they issued me an ultimatum: Accomplish one of the following by Jan. 1st: 1. obtain a job (or become hired by a temp agency, even without being placed) 2. find a place in Portland for less than $400 3. find a place and a job in...
