This is the kind of arrogant ~rationalizing / 'reasoning' that is my daily tell-tale as the ship approaches the leeward shore.

Not unreasonable, but I would point out two options (not the only): 1) "Water batteries" - highly efficient (far more than the 'chemical' you are apparently referring to) & respons…

Would have been better if they hadn't bungled their mixed metonymy... It's a stitch in the bird is worth a pound of eggs off a duck's back, as everyone knows...* * Courtesy of the …

Now that is the kind of "modern problems require modern solutions" thinking I like to see! Kudos - excellent examination of implications / change of perspective / viewing from anot…

I believe the solution was given by the great philosopher Pratchett*: "Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Th…

I'd be more impressed if it were that case that 0% of the WORDS remain. Nevertheless, the consonance of this 'weaker result' is still satisfying. Bravo!

Funny - I was just thinking* about some of what you've described. In my book, a great deal of what a certain group of predators and naive individuals consider "capitalism" is hollo…

This was my "Mr. Hilltop"* style instantaneous reaction https://eandt.theiet.org/2018/05/24/top-10-invasive-species-... My favorite move, in God's** (actual) 4D chess game (playing…

Haha - I love this! Excellent, witty, accurate. Kudos. Sorry for low content response, but, too good a joke to simply upvote, IMO

Hey now, how can you guarantee p(Picasso) or p(Hendrix) is 0 for all readers of your comment?* In any case, I think your response and multiple similar responses make the essential …

Excellent point - you are 100% correct, parent comment etc. were specifically about water-moderated types. I was too grabbed by some of the later description and just connected it …

It used to happen much more in the past. Many decades ago, AFAIK, at least in the journals / fields / areas I'm familiar with. I'm not sure where that might happen or be tolerated,…

Thank you so much for sharing that! Beautiful / elegant and simple! It's been decades since I looked at any of the details involved in any of the various types of reactors that hav…

This was my first thought. It's a complicated topic, biochemically / physiologically, however. Guidelines and recommendations have changed many times in the past couple of decades.…

You'd undoubtedly have to design, at least at some point, for such a system to be explicitly attacked. I'm not assuming you haven't considered that, just pointing out that this mig…

Unfortunately, this is a problem throughout our various economies, at this point. Professionalization of management with its easy over-reliance on the simplification of the quantit…

You prefer an open source lord?

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. The US (in particular) has seen a significant decline in trust (think community, as in union, as in Federalist #10 etc.) in all manner of funda…

Yes, it sure would be a shame if, I dunno, some execs at Experian were to experience some of the same issues that so many others have - due to the existence and ... 'management' of…

You make it sound dark-side / light-side. Might I interest you in a pleasing shade of gray? Hemodialysis. Join the 'penumbra-side'. More seriously, sorry you have that issue. Unfor…

figure out the computational stable state of society Hahahaha!! That's so "psychohistory" ... it suggests such, almost 'individual'-like intention. Also, none of it has failed. Tha…

The universe most certainly has a mysterious affinity with mathematics. Is that really true? Could it be more fair to say that mathematics has a (not so) mysterious affinity with t…

Regarding the downvotes (none from me, I'll respond generally if it seems at all useful)... First, this is, I'd say, rather off-topic ... and may seem impolite. It's along the line…

Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, actually caring about other people in such a general sense suggests a sort of strong / true character in a person. OTOH, commenting about your …
