/sci/ - Science & Math

All these threads turn into crazy useless philosophical nonsense.

Why not argue about how we'll have to modify our laws to account for persons with multiple, simultaneous physical instantiations? How do you arrest them, et cetera?

"Fury at DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent

than Westerners"

"One of the world's most eminent scientists was embroiled in

an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black

people were less intelligent than white people and the idea

that "equal powers of reason" were shared across racial groups

was a delusion.


James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the

unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America's leading

scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation

for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for

a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in

London...

"Dr Watson told The Sunday Times that he was "inherently

gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social

policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the

same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". He

said there was a natural desire that all human beings should

be equal but "people who have to deal with black employees

find this not true"."

my face when I realized how powerful political correctness

was, and how even as pure as science is not except from its

scrutiny

i do not want to fail. therefore, i am motiovated to do my coursework.

This is science, not sociology.

Read it a while ago. It's a very good collection of sources. 1/4th of the book is the References section.

Most of the stuff is pretty cool. The rest I'm sort of eeehhhh about. Kurzweil's ideas of technological progress are interesting -- His vision for the post-singularity just a bit, um, well you'll have to read that bit. It gets a little "Where are you going with this...?" in the philosophy chapter.

What happens to the 96,000 words I have already written? Do they stay at a computer near me? :3
