Can someone explain relationship between AI and memetics to me?

What about him?

Legitimate question here. Why does modern medicine bother with developing cures for diseases or keeping terminally ill patients and people with incurable diseases like Down's Syndrome alive with extremely expensive technology? From an evolutionary perspective, it does not make sense. First, disease has been a way to naturally select the fittest and thanks to that we've been able to come this far. Second, what is the point of preserving genes that have proven to be useless for humanity?

tl;dr Modern medicine does not make sense because it contradicts natural selection.

Hello, what I have here are a mix of philosophical questions i have congnized during our deep thinking sessions in class, where we sit in silence and ponder quandarys of the universe.

Feel free to answer any you think you might know.

1. If the universe is infinite, Earth must be at the center of the universe and the Bible was correct?

2. If the universe is infinite, why is the night sky not lit up completely by stars?

3. If the universe is not infinite, how did the big bang happen in the first place?

4. If evolution exists, then why is earth not overrun by trees as big as sky scrapers sucking up all the sunlight and water?

5. If time is relative, then why do we all age at the same time?

6. If time is relative, then why is light speed a constant and absolute, when light also has its own time?

7. If genes are hereditary then why are some black children born white with red hair?

8. If time is the 4th dimension, and 4D is a degree higher than 3D, then why does it behave as 2D (forward, back)?

9. If nothing can escape a black hole and there is a black hole in the center of our billions-year-old galaxy then why has it not consumed everything already?

10. If time travel into the past is impossible, then how is time travel into the future theoretically possible when the future is some other future's past?

11. If schrodinger's cat is both alive and dead, then how come when you open the lid the cat is always alive?

12. If intelligence is hereditary and everyone started out with 100 IQ, then how do we get popular sci geniuses like numberphile and michio kaku?

13. If scientific method is pure and absolute, then why do we need peer review?

14. If light is a particle and a wave, then why do we never see tidal waves of light in the sky?

15. If no religions have a base in reality, then how did we think of them in the first place?

16. If scientists are left brained and artists are right brained, then what about an artist who paints science?

Possibly more to come

What?? Anyway... Richard Dawkins, definitely the greatest scientist of our time, fighting furiously against the irrationality of religion.
