“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
In this latest Domain Query, I address a rather interesting question from LRFotS Randale6 that touches on the thorny and tricky issue of thinking machines and artificial intelligence, while referencing the greatest sci-fi novel ever written. Here’s the...
Dr. James Tour’s name should be fairly familiar to regular readers of this site. I have mentioned him a number of times before, particularly with respect to his seminal presentation about the known problems with Origin-of-Life (OoL) research. Dr. Tour is a...
I have been trying to tell just about anyone with sense enough to listen, since pretty much the middle of April, that the SANKSHUNS against those damned ROOOOOOOOSKEEES!!!, are actually useless at best and extremely counterproductive at worst. In reality, the Western...

Back in May, yer very ‘eavy, very ‘umble servant offered up a few thoughts about a thot who arrived on the shores of PommieBastardLande from Banderastan, and proceeded to break up a family in the space of just 10 days. This turned into an evolving soap...
The Neo-Tsar has evidently had quite enough of dicking around in Banderastan. As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, the referendums organised in the liberated territories of 404 are a specific, long-planned trigger for much harsher Russian actions that go...
Note: the following post is an expansion of a series of lengthy comments that I made on my Telegram channel earlier today. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conference wrapped up in Samarkand, Uzbekistan (not Astana, Kazakhstan, which is what I mistakenly...
