Thanks to you, too (Coaster pointed me in the right direction).  I went looking for your Thread, but didn't find it, so thanks for chiming in.  Interesting -- I haven't been the least bit interested in what Plant's been doing for some reason.  This might be an entirely new wonder for me!

Don't worry, nanotechnological molecular deconstruction will be fast and painless. Well, unless they don't want it to be, of course. 

I think I saw that offered at a cosmetics laser center in Beverly Hills.

cats are smarter than dogs MK

Yes, they are.

[Rat-eating Hater]

I'm not. Good economy, less crime, good tv/movies, good family life, etc and yes, some wars "police actions", but not still the constant war policies and other craziness.

Second that.

we need sexbots lol

Is their name LISA?

You hear that Ed Dames?

Ah yes, the 9/11 planning phase.

I doubt it. In some circumstances where domestication has gone on. But, cats need to learn how to hunt/kill from their mom (why strays and domestics cats sometimes can't kill as effectively.) Dogs go feral much easier (local incident of 'family' dogs getting together in a pack during the day and savaging some sheep (area is suburbs by farms) and coming home for dinner and playing with kids. Dogs on Moscow subway? Coyotes and foxes becoming pest in urban areas from USA to London?  But I grant that cats are more autonomous and clever and dogs (domestic) can be specialized or over-reliant on their owners. Idk.

Hella yes. Just ask my cats

not saying much for dogs cause cats can be idiots lol..plus dogs have more personality..substitute cats in this line

Well, we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfucking pig. I mean, he'd have to be ten times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm saying?

[zeebo]

That's the best news I've had all week.   

Hopefully some far future generation's problem.  Serves 'em right for getting jetpacks and we didn't.

[JamesMcDonald]

we need sexbots lol

I'm there.   

[Juan Cena]

On balance? Yeah, I'm for it, though, as I mentioned the "police action" in Korea etc were bad.

Income taxes were also much higher then, it should be noted.

Saw that this morning. Seems the religion of peace is shockingly thinking of doing some not-so-peaceful things.
Actually issued early today. The r

This is SO not about their faith, and they don't even bother to pretend anymore.   It's become some kind of a club for losers with a penchant for violence (IMO, natch).  They really do a grave disservice to those who are genuine in their beliefs.  Ugly.

You would that a civilization like that would have developed technologies that really didn't need that much energy. Thus making Dyson Spheres unesseciary.

Correct. It all depends on what their motives are. If they wish to achieve a perfect hedonistic utopia, then that can be done only within a computer simulation. They would choose the Matrix, which is basically what we do already with video games and the internet in a rudimentary form. They would hit type II and then ignore the universe at large and live within a simulation created by uploading their consciousnesses into a matroishka brain computer, which would be detectable as a some kind of Dyson sphere and never advance to Type III. Or they may just upload themselves into a nanotechnological cloud and be completely undetectable, even if you were right on top of them. They would look like a fog bank hanging around a planet emitting only low-level radiation.

What they could never ignore however are external threats. And that may well mean eradicating all other intelligent life within their galaxy.

The Dreaming Universe, by Fred Alan Wolf. My favorite other physicist 💜. Great book.

Yep. I'm guessing he must be one of Art's absolute favorite interviewees.
