this is a very good ranking. i'm not in total agreement, but the overall vision here I can really get behind. thank you for this.

the trailers I saw were pretty bad. especially considering how awesome the movie is.

what other decisions are you thinking of?

I do wonder if they're giving the presidency so much power, they're setting the court itself up for a future president to greatly diminish its power.

why do you think? not sure nationalizing local elections a good thing necessarily. but I could see the argument that bringing together the party as a whole and uniting around shared goals is a good thing

biggest problems with this are center-left will be unlikely to fix the massive damage Trump has done to democracy.

also going milquetoast risks losing again. have to appeal to swing voters and people constantly make the mistake that swing voters are centrists. they are not. they're not ideological

Everyone! Very special guest coming, but a few quick notes-

Harry, he wants to stone you. Liz, he’s banning your healthcare. You too, Bill

Amy and Jo, your marriage is over. Jon, no more 4th amendment for you.

But anyway, the wine will be "abundant."

*winks*

at best he's Mr. Furley

he is still a consultant and the largest shareholder I believe. but unclear just how involved he is

but yeah, this is a good question. one would think he'd want to avoid being part of this shameful and embarrassing display

isn't that how everything else operates though? except maybe quantum physics?

I agree. body = mind.

So the problem being we can’t determine what is and isn’t understanding?

Sure, I agree, it depends

many people find it helpful, but yes it does get things wrong and anyone using it needs to know that.

but it's the people who are using it who are responsible for how it's used. it's just a machine.

in your take on it, does mind still = body, but "body" constitutes more than just the brain?

like just the rest of the nervous system? or more than that?

Who is discarding these differences? They're machines. Smart people realize that.

And if you really want to get into philosophy of mind discussions, which are v interesting, that's another thing.

what does "understanding" mean? how do you measure it?

we don't spend time debating whether a calculator has "understanding," either its outputs are right or they're wrong, they're helpful or they're not.

I believe plane retrofitting is estimated to cost between 400 million and 1.5 billion.
