I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say many believe RNA was the first molecule to encode genetic information. As i understand it, there's no evidence to support that belief - and therefore no scientist should believe. However, many people suspect that was the case.
A big problem you and your peers have is that you consider things to be "boring" and not worth your attention. This is a completely wrong view of life and the world, which are not configured to provide you with an optimal set of experiences.
Bullshit. You only get one life, and it's too short to waste it on boring shit. When you're on your death bed, you won't be saying "i wish i'd forced myself to do more boring shit", you'll be saying "i wish i hadn't wasted so much of my life on that boring shit."
It's not just youngsters. I'm 56 and I just finished a science degree (with fairly high grades) - and I can't force myself to read boring books. The secret to succesful uni studies is skimming - use the minimum amount of effort to extract only what you need from a document, whether it's a book or a scientific paper. At the end of the day, when you walk out of the final exam for a subject, any knowledge you may have accumulated evaporates anyway - leaving a nice clean brain for next semester!
Save your mental energy for interesting stuff.

Power's not a problem - artificial intelligence will be powered by cold fusion.
Why? You create real intelligence when you procreate [.....]
You don't create anything when you procreate - you're just part of a process that started a long time before you were born.
Brains and chips are both equally able to perform lambda calculus so they a computationally equivalent so there is nothing fundemental to preclude one from implementing the other.
Maybe. But it took billions of years to evolve human intelligence - you're dreaming if you think machine intelligence can be created in a few decades, or even a few centuries. And computers won't exist in a few centuries anyway - our civilization will collapse long before artificial intelligence gets even close to existing.
I assume that means the exhaust manifold. It would take a long time to cook it on the inlet manifold.
Well we were talking about Australia and i'm pretty sure the answer's "no".
No, we started going downhill when Howard was elected - 19 years ago. Things improved a bit under Labor, but didn't get anywhere near back to where they were 20 years ago.
Not in Australia, which is where we're talking about.
In Australia?
Why the hell would anybody sue for divorce on the grounds of adultery nowadays? It's just more hassle and more expense and you're still divorced just the same if you do it the no cause way.
20+ years? Politicians only discovered the internet 3 years ago.
Why don't you grow some balls and take action instead of waiting for some hero to save you like a damsel in distress?
Says the AC.
Both Labor and Liberals support this. Its going to happen no matter who you vote for.
No it's not. Vote for the Greens!
