I swear I already read about this study years ago.

But right now I can't find the source.

(This is not a meta-post joke. I really remember the "few milliseconds before illusion of prediction" topic being studied.)

No. The post was modded down because "how does this affect my tiny little world" is your version of "Frosty Piss".

You already know the answer: "Nobody cares whether this affects you or not, because nobody cares about you in general."

Good bye. I'll read you again when you manage to reach a (Score:1)

However well they can breathe they are still carnivores and their food needs either oxygen dissolved in water or food which needs oxygen dissolved in water.

But, as far as we know, the OP could just be completely off topic commenting that he's posting on Slashdot while competing on a rally race. Which would make it really inconvenient for him to be a dolphin at this very moment.

You, him and Elon Musk, surprisingly enough, are not the population on which the importance of discoveries is based.

I disagree. I believe humanity has a tiny chance of transcending what we currently call the universe.

I feel there would be meaning in that transcendence.

Your life doesn't matter. Neither does anyone else's.

Only humanity matters. And its continuity strongly depends on its understanding of how other planets work.

If you die tomorrow and that makes humanity advance a thousand-millionth of a day in its search for expansion, that would be a good net result.

And, they are naturally curved, not fat.

Clearly not. If it was, his thoughts would have been communicated telepathically to your mind through his unicorn.

People are expected to learn at an age of around 4, that if you bite the kid next to you, he'll either bite you back or cry and make someone else punish you for the biting. Apparently, becoming a decision maker in the justice department, the FBI or the CIA, doesn't require having acquired such wisdom.

More seriously, though, the only realistic explanations to the imbecile behavior of American governance towards cryptography is probably a mix of a few lines of reasoning:
- "So what if my decisions of today have dire consequences in tomorrow's landscape? I won't be in power tomorrow, so I don't give a flying fuck."
- "I don't understand any technology beyond the automobile, and I really don't care. Just give me a way of invading privacy now and shut up."
- "So what if today's abuses of power make everyone use cryptography tomorrow? It will just be one more reason to abuse our power even more tomorrow. Everyone outside the 0.01% is a potential terrorist criminal revolutionary."

A majority of American millennials, without even the most basic political culture after decades of disinformation, propaganda, christian fanaticism infecting the schools, and a strong focus on technical skills to create generations of workers, surprisingly don't know what they are talking about when asked basic economics and politics questions.

News at sunset.

Less vocal HTC shareholders, rejoiced in the fact that decisions are being taken by people with actual business knowledge, instead of incompetents with parents money to invest.

I would expect most people who work on a PC for great lengths of time, to be able to afford $1.5K.
