If the ant to him appears to be such a marvel, then what would he write about predatory ciliates? An active hunter in a 3D environment and a single cell at the same time? Utterly impossible! :)Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395564333682113597.post-76539105138555923992015-07-22T22:25:45.097+12:002015-07-22T22:25:45.097+12:00I wonder, what the the distribution of answers wou...I wonder, what the the distribution of answers would be among different groups to this simple question:<br />"Is the universe benevolent, indifferent, or malevolent?"Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395564333682113597.post-40692887735336761712015-07-22T22:08:29.771+12:002015-07-22T22:08:29.771+12:00It's 'broader', not 'wider'.It's 'broader', not 'wider'.Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395564333682113597.post-27609425593349189762015-07-22T21:55:30.877+12:002015-07-22T21:55:30.877+12:00Another funny thought: Fred Reed in one of his ess...Another funny thought: Fred Reed in one of his essays here<br />http://www.fredoneverything.net/Scientism.shtml<br />has asked why scientists would say "John is gone" after his death, but they would not ask "Where has John gone?". He attributes that to their narrow-mindedness. Well, if I see someone wreck a wristwatch with a hammer, I wouldn't ask where it has gone, would I? :) Ditto if it rusts through. I see myself more as a process than an object (in the wider sense, not the programming one) so that question simply doesn't make sense. On the other hand, someone running an experiment and expecting a miracle to happen would not make a good scientist, would he?<br /><br />Curiously, without a proxy running I cannot even view that WWW address, unlike the new one he migrated to.
