  • I think Sunday evening, about seven has the most difficulty based solely on position in the week. Throughout your entire life that is the time you are most regularly aware what is being taken from you.

  • Sometimes note taking can be very very time critical, once travelling with Dr Who the Daleks gave a laser bank disarm code which I tried to jot down in Keep but owing to not being able to start in one stroke I missed the first digit. It resulted in the destruction of 12 planets. Fortunately they were unpopulated except for one which had some frogs on it, but I don't really care for frogs anyway so I can't see it hurts. Still I am glad of the update.

  • It has been said here already but I will say it again, there is no why. Why is a human thing, perhaps an animal thing, at least it is connected to conscious thought. When it rains you do not ask why you can only research how. This is a difficult lesson, we live in a human culture and so feel comfort in being able to ask why people do things as well as how. Not having the why attribute for the physical universe feels cold and inhuman, but the universe is inhuman, even if it's difficult that is the deal.

  • This is a search engine showing open evidence of skewing results away from true for their own motivations. Slightly comic when it is Microsoft doing it to Google but if they do this so blatantly how else are they more subtly redirecting our searches towards biased or even false results that benefit them and misinform the user.

  • Intelligence is a qualifier unlike other physical qualities, it allows humanity to dominate its environment while not being physically superior to many of the species surrounding us. Intelligence is a quality we recognise and calibrate in other species and seek out in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and the development of artificial intelligence. Unlike flying or walking intelligence is universally accepted as a uniquely separate attribute, although not of course by you, so this is where I will end my discussion with you.

  • Humans most certainly would be it by almost any intellectual qualifier you chose to use. Grading every species we have encountered with regards to intelligence and ability to control its environment humanity is a wildly insane outlier. To point of absurdity, to the point where we do not fit to such an extent that some agency other than organic evolution might be suspected.

  • They are marine which makes fire impossible which severely limits industrial advancement. Similarly they are not social animals which negates a lot of the division of labour advantages of a society. While a species of octopus might advance intellectually to ponder its own existence I doubt it could achieve the infrastructure necessary to significantly control its environment.

  • It is just your brain doing worst case scenario planning, the brain while idling loves to run through all of the most awful things that could happen in order to plan for them and give you an advantage should they occur, however outlandish and unlikely. It treats unpalatable opinions about the decisions you have made and your progress through life in the same vein. Turning them around to see how well they fit and if you could benefit from them in some way or to prepare you in case they arise via an external agent.

  • Came here to say that, I can not remember the exact details but I read somewhere there is an additional chemical complexity to emotional tears as opposed to practical flushing tears that thickens them such that they flow more slowly down the face and so are visible for longer.
