I tend to think along the lines of Roger Penrose's assumptions that he alluded to in "The Emperors New Mind" that consciousness is not a calculation and computers are calculators, therefore computers will never be conscious. He believes that consciousness is a quantum effect deep in our cells

it's about who gets the contract to build it

She's in; whatever is said, she is now in that position. Unfit, corrupt, drunk, it doesn't matter, she is now in place and what laws are gonna stop Trump doing that again? None, so he will continue to degrade, pollute and corrupt the US government until he, and his cronies have full control.

Warm congrats to Michele Dougherty, the new Astronomer Royal of England. A very good choice, and the first woman to be appointed to that lofty position since the Royal Observatory, , Greenwich was founded in 1675.

I agree, but comparing hi-intensity wind farms with paintings of low-density Dutch windmills is not an equivalent comparison in my mind, maybe you're different and that's fine, but I'd rather not have hillsides littered with bright white turbines, but this is what is needed now, so that is fine

I don't like the look of windfarms, they are an eyesore, but until there are other solutions for our insane power needs then that's the price we need to pay. Talking of eyesores perhaps the orange painted one should look in the mirror.

Yep, look to the "E_______ F_____" never gonna see them even though the overwhelming majority of people want them released.

I agree, but they hold the levers of power at the moment and the damage they are doing will echo across decades, their ideology is deeply damaging to the US and so persistent and constant resistance, calling-out, and highlighting the orange one's idiocy is vital.

Got SoD for my daughter and we are now hooked! But promise us to contact Dennis Gustafsson of Teardown fame to use/rankle/be inspired by his new voxel engine for SoD 2. Making SoD2 with larger cities, more intelligent citizens, with the look of a new and refined Teardown engine would be superb!

genuine question: Do Miller and Vance get on?

Vance wont last long, he is utterly unlikable, has zero charisma, charm or tact, he is not smart or genuine, and MAGA will eat him alive. He would have to deliver Epstein list and data instantly to quell the mutiny and that wont happen as his puppet masters wont allow the cull that would follow.

Yes, this one single act would refresh US politics.

yep, their like flies to shit with this.

Putin doesn't care; Russians are meat sacks to him, he will send millions more to their death to achieve his aims. Genocidal dictators like him have no shred of humanity in them, he's a death dealer, a corrupted despot willing to sacrifice the Russian economy and people to save his skin.

"voters" who are they? those insects are only needed every few years and are easily duped, so no need to dirty themselves with their wants; the Orange King is who the Senate Maggots follow.

If the working-class masses have no right to land, food, housing, education, healthcare, and the basic comforts that centuries of our labor created, then the capitalist class has no right to peace. It's really as simple as that. As things continue to deteriorate, remember this.

Toss up between Putin and Netanyahu.

No, no... she's a "dog killing" ridiculous christofascist hag, let's not forget poor old "Cricket"

I wonder if Elmo has a copy of this list, he seems to know a lot about it

Abbott wont do anything unless his big donors want something done, poor people swept away living near the river are merely data points to him.

Thoughts and prayers... great, that's gonna help a lot

His utter lack of knowledge, self awareness, skill, negotiating intelligence, expertise, aptitude, and likeability on full show, all of the time. This clown pretends that he is some kind of deal maker but all he is a simpleton charlatan who should be in a care home.

And what will happen? a big fat nothing.

The Gestapo don't come cheap you know, and those concentration camps don't build themselves

There is no bottom, he would literally sell his nail clippings if there was money in it.

You better watch out David, the Orange One may have you packing to Argentina.

This is a feature, not a bug; it's all about loyalty to the King and the ideology; skill, experience, talent, proficiency and aptitude are all secondary, if even considered.

Yeah and the deep orange one is criticizing UKR for mounting a pure, surgical and precise attack on military targets and transport, while Putin lobs anything and everything into civilian infrastructure and housing.

He is 100% off his head, also what's the mark on his right eye?
