| Story: 'What 2001: A Space Odyssey Got Right About Our Blind Leap into the Digital-Age.' Headline excerpt: Fifty years after its release, Stanley Kubrick’s film seems prescient – an allegory about how destructively artificial intelligence can be misused.

| Thanks for the encouragement. It is most appreciated. I just got back from my annual physical and asked my doctor what he thought about the online assessments for AS. Goodness. He completely discredited them. Further, he suggested that Asperger’s Syndrome is just an excuse for poor behavior. Oh my.... |

| the fact that they're not making them anymore I don't get the hate that some have for the prequels, esp since the original three films are so overrated. What really got me was the crying over the old EU no longer being cannon. Anyone with half a brain should have seen that coming, I mean they knew ... |

| You have no control over what people think of you. You also have no control over the future. Therefore all you can do is work on your failings and strengths and work to improve yourself as a person and hope that you bring others over to you as friends and acquaintances. Acquaintances will come and g... |

| Firstly, Dark Energy has been postulated only to to explain the missing mass of the universe. Mathematical equations add a constant to explain the missing mass, bit like Newtonian equations adding a constant to explain deviations in movements of Celestial bodies. Sloppy science in my view. You can'... |

| I always believe in the best and Einstein is the best so that's why E=MC2 is accurate. Since Einstein didn't predict dark energy, as far as I'm concerned the theory of dark matter in the universe is a load of hogwash. There are plenty of other theories to explain the mass of the universe. Why do we... |

| Acting to me is an art form like music, poetry and painting. It's purpose is to make sense of the world we live in by leading us to universal truths that transcend our cultural ties to each other. How it gets there is and should be a mystery to the audience, much like the magician performing magical... |

It's the fact that the Brexit vote and the Trump vote are expressions of hate. These are ordinary people that... |

Photographs taken in Abu Ghraib are a horror to behold, but I'm glad that we have them. Nobody can pretend ... |
