Has artificial intelligence been discredited by Godel's incompleteness theorem? Hao Wang A logical journey: From Godel to philosophy, 1997 Godel's Incompleteness Theorem states that in any consistent formal system which is adequate for arithmetic there is a true but unprovable sentence...

Does that describe Rather, or Bush, and if both, why is there more conservative outcry over the memo than over the war in Iraq?

I had this debate with a friend recently. I argued that if life as we know it is common in the universe, then intelligent life is more likely to occur. Using Drake's equation, it would seem that there are most likely numerous examples of intelligent life in the universe, or at least a large...

So what is it about all these artificial limbs, artificial joints, pace-makers, hearing aids, eye correction devices and what not? Is it because man thinks he's capable of improving on the original design? In other words whose design exactly, does he think he's trying to improve upon? Obviously...

Aaahh...the end justifies the means, right?

One of the intellectual ideas that is around today that disturbs me is this one. That any problems we come up against as a species will be solved by our ingenuity, as we have been able to do just this every time we have needed to in the past. This line of reasoning disturbs me for two reasons...

I realise many of you find the "Love is poison desguised as candy" thread to be repulsive to some degree, and I myself grow weary of it, but it has brought up a point I think could spawn some fruitful discussion. Is there any difference, ethically, in judging someone on appearance and judging...

Alexander Sharp's comment first of all annoyed me, then I realised he isn't actually saying anything, merely abusing a statistic. Even if the British population consisted of 60 million Einstein clones, just under 30 million of those Einstein clones would be considered to have below average...
