LOL. I don't name mine either, was just wondering if you did.

If Colin doesn't capsize the ship.

I think that leeward side of the state should be alright. But thanks for that.... Now I need to find a weather overlay. Just when I thought I was obsessing enough.

We're to a point where we can overcome almost any natural ailment and mental incapacity, and every time this happens you're effectively widening the variation in a tiny portion of the population.

I don't think this is unlike what will happen to the other facets of the human condition, whether it's social, moral, biological, etc. The more technology props us up, the less we have to rely on ourselves. The question is at what point do we begin to lose that permanently and is that inevitable?

Yeah, this is what we were discussing earlier.

Apart from allowing corruption, if we take the metaphor further, it does what most selection does - it amplifies the mutations. But which mutations would we collectively decide to amplify? Would it be a conscious decision, or one that just "happens". Who will decide, and how?

Exactly. There will no longer be such a thing as a "consciousness" or "awareness" because premeditation will be rendered obsolete. It's literally how cloud infrastructures work, on an operational level.

I should start. Maybe after Game of Thrones characters. Hey, this is my new car, The Red Priestess. Heh. This is my other car, I call it "Nedd".

Tesla was the first car I actually gave a name, mainly because when one first takes delivery, there is an option to name it.

I call it KITT.

Do you know the reason why they make ribbed condoms?

So you can get traction in the mud.
