By the way, what did you think of the equations in the above paper?

What about progress towards adapting to the world? 😉

Thanks.

Indeed, a real barrel of monkeys.

What do you mean? Is offshore drilling somehow suspicious?

Hear, hear!

"...it isn't actually true..." I couldn't agree more, though I think we may have subtle epistemological differences in worldview. I think it isn't true because I'm a nihilist and I'm unconvinced

"- you are questioning the truth of my fictional analogy? -" Not exactly, I realize it's a fiction, but it doesn't seem very illustrative to me by virtue of being nearly nonsensical. I gather
