Yeah the Ray Kurzweils and the cryo-immortality and the exhaustive consumption of vitamin supplements. All rather silly, from what I gather.The Extropians were a Silicon Valley cult who were into bodybuilding and AI.
If that works for someone as a conceptual framework, as an ongoing source of motivation, then it's perfectly viable as far as I am concerned.It's almost as if there was some vital spirit and meaning to it all.
It's had a bad century, that's all.If that works for someone as a conceptual framework, as an ongoing source of motivation, then it's perfectly viable as far as I am concerned.
The Breakthrough projects are interesting, like Yuri Milner's Breakthrough Starshot
Lovely Trumpian sign-off there.Science was great until it was corrupted by money, now it's just another means of managing decline and asserting control. Thoroughly corrupt. There probably is great science being done, but I doubt it pushes through to prominence very often. Sad.
Decent engineer; terrible scientist. Important difference.Anyone remember that limo driver who built his own rocket then actually piloted it in an attempt to prove the Earth was flat? It was a funny story and he was clearly a bit odd, but the guy built and flew his own fucking rocket!
Same with philosophy. The people who combine disciplines can be more interesting than the people who wall themselves off.I think one solution to the rigidity of scientific thinking is to bring in some more poetic types, gnostic types, etc.
Entropy is basically a measure of the amount of chaos in a system. When a reaction occurs... ie something happens or changes, entropy will normally increase, certainly not decrease.what does thermodynamic mean?
Luka will be reading that with the same expression on his face that Dougal has when Ted is trying to explain that these cows are small, while those cows are far away.Entropy is basically a measure of the amount of chaos in a system.

Thermodynamics is I guess the study of entropy along with energy (heat) and matter, what can and can't occur etc law of conservation of energy and so on.
