    I can't stop smoking! #PleaseHelp

    It can be hard to get rid of our addictions. It's one thing I recommend meditation or prayer will help with, as it can help us become more patient and have more willpower to push through. If you pray don't pray for the result of being smoke free, just pray to be strong. There will be some hard...

    Is technology good or bad?

    I'm sure technology itself isn't good or bad, it all depends on how we use it. Today's factories are no longer death traps for workers, we can produce cleaner energy without forests dying due to acidity. Some diseases used to be death sentences, but now treatable. That kids are using smart...

    Is Kaku correct?

    It seems neither of us are understanding each other and that is fine. If the article didn't talk about Civ I then we weren't talking about the same thing either way and miscommunication is expected. In 2011 they could have been doing Civ IV. You can them in adjacent tiles in Civ I. The...

    Why do we find ancient references to 8 people in a large boat in diverse cultures and languages

    6 human-headed ones on that boat, one hawk headed one, and a large beetle. What does the Egyptian text say?

    Is Kaku correct?

    Concentrate. ? What do you mean they don't apply currently? You know you quote an article from 2011, when Civ V had just come out. Uh... you posted this: Why would I be talking about Civ VI when we're talking about Civ AI? o_O The one we were talking about... because you mentioned it. The...

    Socialist AOC states the VA already has top notch healthcare.

    Actually Switzerland is what "straight democracy" looks like. Switzerland's System of Direct Democracy

    Socialist AOC states the VA already has top notch healthcare.

    I think most Europeans, especially socialists, left-wingers, centrists and the like would have different standards.

    Putin signs controversial internet law

    The west is following, but with baby steps. Not enough people care about Internet as long as their opinions and entertainment are not touched.

    Is Kaku correct?

    I found a video that is not completely similar strategy, but close to the one I used. This is actually more like the Civilization 3 opening strategy for the highest difficulty than the one I used for the first. He's probably a better than I was, but you see how easily he defeats the computer...

    Is Kaku correct?

    There are many levels of rewards for a person. One is Pavlov, the carrot and stick that politicians tend to love. Another requires the ability to abstract thinking. Why do you think people go against the "programming" avoiding pleasures to achieve other rewards which might be intangible. When a...

    Is Kaku correct?

    Several techsnologies you ignore completely, and rush to wheel for chariots. Build cities right in adjacent tiles. That's the opening moves, later in the series they made an effort to curtail those kinds of efforts because it's what we could call broken. The regular way to play is to maximize...

    Up to 10million per year could die from this

    The last part sounds like basic healthcare in my country.

    Why self-help often doesn't work

    I have to agree that self-help books tend to often be the exact opposite of help. They're opinions by people who usually look through things from the lense of their own experience. Those tend to skew things a lot. It's like the man saying "just follow your dreams and you will be rich", yet there...

    If theists created concept of God,

    Without any religion making it diffifcult, I don't think most atheists would care about the concepts of God(s).

    Is Kaku correct?

    Behaviorism notwithstanding, rewards and pleasure have a combination set that doesn't include all rewards and pleasures. A robot isn't introspective or instictual so abstract/intuitive concepts will only mean something to us, not to the robot "watching the sunset" Yes, that was the...

    Is Kaku correct?

    Similar maybe, but people tend to antromorphize animals too. It's a territory to walk carefully on. It's a philosophical question and answer. Fact remains that a modern day robot can't be rewarded, we can only make it hum or something to make us feel like it's alive. The Japanese are pretty...

    Is Kaku correct?

    Yes, because IBM's projects are actual serious attempts at AI, but Civ's is "fake AI" like with most things people call AI i.e. not a real one. It's a decision tree. Like a board game where you throw dice and the game's rules tell you something, it's about as complex for Civ and as intelligent...

    Socialist Democrats will not keep illegals in declared sanctuary citys. GOP passes ban in FLA.

    I'd say what's interesting is how both democrats and republicans swing on the authoritarian side instead of libertarian, yet speak about "freedom" as a value that's disconnected from liberty.

    Socialist Democrats will not keep illegals in declared sanctuary citys. GOP passes ban in FLA.

    Antifa isn't a person(or democrat) and they include people who aren't socialist, like anarchists. Bernie might call himself a socialist, but then again he makes the mistake of calling Scandinavia socialist which we are not on government level. Like the democrats in general have false ideas about...

    Socialist Democrats will not keep illegals in declared sanctuary citys. GOP passes ban in FLA.

    Yes and isn't it interesting that immigration is left versus right only by country and time period. Many right-wing argue for cheap labor from poorer countries even if it means illegal immigrants. Many people funding right-wing use that labor so they don't have to pay the locals as much and it's...
