Video (or movie?) from the cruise?  God that looks like a blast!  The drinking!  The smoking!  The style!

Holy crap that must have been a blast. I was -3 at the time but I'd have gladly paid the 2k for that one just to punch Norman Mailer in the nutsack and throw him overboard for the good of all mankind. Frederick Pohl mentioned that someone brought pot on board. Gee, I wonder who that was *cough* Carl Sagan *cough*.

Those were the days apparently. Now all anyone does at conventions is bitch about shitty book sales and the concession stand prices.

Braaps all! Off to pass out.

Jesus Richard, you're trying to connect 1950's Asimov robotics laws to Musk's own rather dated ideas with modern thought on superintelligence. It doesn't work like that.

I have been to the Hemingway house in Key West mare times than i can remember, i also am close friends with the woman that takes care of the Hemingway 6 toed cats, its cool but a tourist trap.

Especially since Hemingway was a nut. It's amazing how mystiques develop.

Dude, better be using the right stuff. There is some really dangerous deodorants out there.

Don't use the turmeric one. It balded my pits.

Wait, deodorant is an environmental contaminant? How to fuck does that happen? LOL

What!? Why?  It's like you're some kind of sci fi author or something. 

I've had it with you, sir. *directs the utility fog to atomically deconstruct ShayP and absorb him into the nanoconsciousness utopia*

Trouble is that it's 2015. Robots as Asimov saw them are not viable now. They will not happen.

Oh yes, John W. Cambell. *bong hit*

Is there any photographic evidence of RCH knowing Asimov, Clarke and Roddenberry? Not calling him a liar but his stories about these great Sci-Fi people make out as if he was a guy who slept on their couches.

I have no idea about Asimov or Roddenberry, but Arthur Clarke did indeed know him.

He's fluffing his feathers for the hot chick 

Yeah, I guess that's what I'd do too if I were in his position.

It's a lot worse tonight.

He's pushing the ego too far tonight.

Arthur Clarke misjudged Hoagland early on, but wasn't a fan later.

It's called positivist hard science fiction. It did indeed make a come back.

Uh, science fiction is indeed about prediction.

Krugman is silly, he thinks the economy works like it did in 1960.

You're all wrong.  Here he is holding his axe.

Holy Jesus, Tim Underwood pre-brought up the torsion field without any coercion.

the pope looks like a old school Gibson Melody Maker guy to me with the cobalt pickup, he likes to keep it simple.

Nothing is simple in Catholicism, sir. 3 pickups, 9 amps and altar. And booze is okay, but sex isn't.

I thought the Pope played a Les St. Paul?

No, St. Leo Fender. It's the orthodox that believe in the theology of the holy humbucker pickup.

GrrrrrrARRrRrrrrggghhhh

Extensive discussions about the pope's visit eh?

Im tempted to call into Hoagie and ask him how to make the perfect martini.
