A lot of people have theories of consciousness that make it easier to assign consciousness to non-living beings. If someone believes stones have consciousness it is no surprise that they also think their computer system does.

It starts with public executions and pretty soon you have executioners who want to play to the crowd by adding additional humiliation and torture to the process. There is no bottom the way America is heading.

They have the AI and the nuclear and the drones but we spend the most money and have developed the best lingo. When you put lingo and diagrams together we are unstoppable. Oh, and testosterone, of course -- the secret sauce that makes the lingo and the diagrams possible.

Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"—temporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United States—is out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.

Adam Hamilton is the kind of conservative Democrat who can be successful here in Kansas. Different communities have different levels of progress that they are willing to accept and need different candidates. Our far-left Congressional candidate lost to the moderate incumbent Democrat.

Put a Bumper Sticker On Your Car! The conventional wisdom that bumper stickers don't work is based on no credible studies that I can find. At minimum, bumper stickers increase name recognition, but I think they also say, "Hey, here is an ordinary, respectable American who is voting Democratic."

It's a risk. Seems senseless to offend an interviewer but if people know that's a possibility then they can do it if they really want to. Some interviewers won't care but quite a few will.

If Dems win back the Congress Trump will probably spend the next two years completely destroying the USA and the world and then blame the Democrats, and the media will go along with it again.

I think that back in the old days, and I mean hundreds of years ago, there was an understanding that if you execute someone and it doesn't actually work then you have to accept fate and let them live. I feel that way now.

You just can't sell off your culture to foreign businesses and expect them to play by the traditional rules -- especially when you are selling a football team to people who don't play football. What's next, the Afghan government buys the Barbie franchise?

An argument against "Great English race" types is that the vast majority of the things people associate with Englishness have existed for well under three hundred years; a few, like pantomimes & Guy Fawkes Day go back a little further, but you are hard-pressed to find anything over 500 years old.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.
