I'm not sure what you're arguing. I didn't say it's impossible. I agree with "You need to understand
something before you can be sure it is
impossible to do", but just as much you need to understand something before you can say it's inevitable that it will be built, and that was the point I made.

No, we can't "build" one at this time. We fuck and then it builds itself.

They produce them, they are not building them. It's obvious that brains can exist, but we have no clue how despite our advances so far. And if we figure out how it could be some kind of quantum stuff that makes it just as impossible for us, for any foreseeable time, as building galaxies is - which also were produced.

OK, but same could be true for brains, no?

True, but not very practical. Nothing is physics prevents us from building our own galaxy, either. Does that mean it's inevitable?

I see, thanks

Just FYI

You would not feel uneasy if there was research into churning out industrially cloned identical twins?

I'm not talking of the 500 now, but of where the whole thing shall lead to.

I would have issues with identical twins if they were industrially produced (and to be eaten no less) and posed a thread to non-cloned reproduction.

Please let me know where you live so that I can avoid the place.

Can't argue with that, and I'm not saying that a bit of gold as part of financial security portfolio is necessarily worthless. My point is directed toward those who support gold hoarding for the event of economic meltdown, war, and the like.

Exactly, it makes no difference. When the gold is gone for the first loaf, you are back to fists for the second.
