In the meantime, our news is bombarding the masses with Osama nukes and Global Warming doomsdays, and the 2 frontmen (Bush & Gore) are specifically the ones promoting those conspiracy theories and doowsday events, polarizing the public; distracting everyone from the system that is the REAL [completely preventable, unlike your example for perspective] threat, while our national debt is off the charts and they just increased spending this year.
If you have an actual solution lets hear it. Really.

I strongly suspect it requires an organic matrix to interact with what might laughingly be called "the real world".
The fact that billions are being spent on trying to create one is no guarantee that the assumption that such an AI is possible has any validity whatsoever.
Anyone with any experience in the meditative arts, and particularly t'ai chi or chi gung, will know what I mean.

How do you know we are not simulated conscious?
TOKYO, June 5 (Reuters) - Kansei frowns when he hears the word "bomb," smiles at "sushi" and looks scared and disgusted when someone says "president" -- and he isn't even human.
Japan's latest robot, called Kansei and created by a university research team, can pull up to 36 different facial expressions based on a program which creates word associations from a self-updating online database of 500,000 keywords.
The robot has 19 movable parts underneath the silicone face mask. When the robot hears the word "president," the online database picks up associated words such as "Bush," "war" and "Iraq" and creates an expression which the researchers said is meant to mix fear and disgust.
Malthusian" (man-made) global warming 'prophecy'
Emotions are irrational. Wake up.
You're so worried about the environment
you'll allow a tyrannical system bent on global domination
create unimaginable power in an artificial intelligence system that noone even has a chance to publicly debate or understand???????
Al Gore is pushing GLOBAL WARMING, with a touch of environmentalism. The threat is overhyped by a loong
...
each work for the same ends, as clearly demonstrated by my new revelation here.
Gore is s scholar and practitioner of MODERN PROPAGANDA which is the science of persuasion and diversion. Read his new book and its dripping with the proof of that claim, as anyone with a decent study into that realm would be able to easily spot.
The police state programs he complains about we're first started under Clinton-Gore, but now that Bush has pushed thru the elites dream systems he's going to rant about it. Just like everything else.
You're so worried about the environment
yes i am, its what we started with and we cant keep damaging it.
you'll allow a tyrannical system bent on global domination
Dont assume things when posting. only deal with facts and i may take you seriously.
You are again assuming things because of your biased view against Gore.
Notice how you say hes a 'practitioner of Modern Propeganda' while i say he is an 'Orator'? same thing in the basic sense, but you are giving it a negative connotation when i am giving a neutral one.
