Why 60%, so somebody who has 59% of his body replaced by artificial alternatives would be human in your eyes?

Well let's say that this supercomputer, which it will have to be, is now capable of (theoretically) mirroring something which is intelligence. Whitehead’s conjecture, argues that fundamental events rather than fundamental particles are the building blocks of the Universe. This interpretation...

Let's take physicality out of the discussion here. Can I first ask you if you believe a human mind can be replicated in a super computer? Or perhaps even super intelligence in the way that Bostrom defines it: How long before superintelligence? In less verbose terms, do you think that a computer...

Cannot be human, yes, perhaps. Would you consider a man with a human brain and a non-biological body, a human? If yes or no, where do you draw the line? And why is it so arbitary?

I have recently developed a framework for the expansion of Clifford Algebraic methods to the third dimension. The inspiration of which was a philosophical discussion with a friend. People underestimate philosophy and its applicability to higher order functions such as applied mathematics and...

I've heard Chicago is over-rated anyway. Fun for you, perhaps. For your overseas compatriots, not so much. :P

All of them to be recruited in to various intelligence agencies.

I agree that Asians are far more studious and dare I say intellectually capable than Western students. However they are also the most beta males I have ever met. Can you call a man, a man, if he does not stand his ground when confronted? Being a brilliant scientist takes more than knowledge...

Says the guy who worships an almighty all powerful sky-friend with a beard.

You guys are missing the point. Protest the law which is being used if you like, perhaps you have a point there, unlike Doniger's book, this is labelled a work of fiction so it is not being misrepresented as fact. Do not protest the right of an individual to take measures through the legal...

@Abingdonboy you will be pleased to hear that one of your videos has been posted in a Wall Street Journal article Obama to India’s president: Thanks but no thanks, I’ll meet you there. - The Washington Post

I think he should specify, don't you?

Which God is with him?

Many countries allow full freedom of expression. This forum does not.
