So you're a cyborg -- now what?


The only reason 'thinking' computers, other than humans, did not exist on Earth at the time of this post was due solely due to the lack of algorithms implemented at the time. A common fallacy designates massive computing power as a requirement for all manners of intelligence.



Why you should listen to him:

Craig Venter, the man who led the private effort to sequence the human genome, is hard at work now on even more potentially world-changing projects.

Personal Incredulity


Complex subjects like biological evolution through natural selection require some amount of understanding of how they work before one is able to properly grasp them; this fallacy is usually used in place of that understanding.
Example: Kirk drew a picture of a fish and a human and with effusive disdain asked Richard if he really thought we were stupid enough to believe that a fish somehow turned into a human through just, like, random things happening over time.
Example: Dr. Brainstudy "we are computers according to the objective research"
Layman: Impossible according to my subjective ignorance.
