in the shell

"At what point does a person become another person?" Every second. I suppose the most clear definition of "person" would be one of the following: (a) brain (conglomerate of cells) (b) mind (what the brain does) (c) soul (in a mind/body independence theory) (d) personality (trait...

Personally, I like any movie in which I care about the characters...not the ones where you don't care who gets off'd. The Ringu -inspired horrors have been overplayed...and no more horrors with some stupid children's lullabye involved! The Saw / Hostel stuff is old too. For some reason Blair Witch ...

I do not want to see "startle movies" - that is movies that use sudden appearances instead of really scary thing. Oh and no sequels (unless it is a multi-part story to begin with) Jason, Pinhead, Freddie, the Aliens, and the Predators just need to all die already. ---- Oh, and regardless o...

I'm only focusing on that last bit... I don't think they are exclusive, but I bet there are a lot of folks (on both sides) that do. I've seen most of the push towards enhancements coming from the trans-humanist groups and they are about as anti religion as you can get. But they ave really cool links...

I guess if you don't think you exist then the rest of the questions don't matter. So first you have to decide if you exist or not. The other questions you asked only matter if you do exist. That is pretty much what my PC does every day when I turn it on. It finds the BIOS and that tells it where to ...

The Tachkoma follow this line of questioning too. I don't recall the episode, but they postulate that the identity is tied to the shell as much as anything else. I *think* it was the episode where the one Tach was reading a book. Maybe some of the recent studies (about phantom pain in amputated limb...

I vote "buy", but then I love to have something in my hands that I can hold onto.

My supposition is also that buying gives more revenue to the creators than renting - and I like to vote with my wallet for things I like.

Major sounds cool. Togusa sounds like a wuss.

Saw Push twice. Not that it was that good to pay full price more than once, but there are not enough Hong Kong style action movies around here. Watchmen rocked. They changed the right things to make it filmable. They kept the right things for it to remain the original story (Unlike The Day the Earth...

Phylogeny, ontogeny, our origins will blur and their significance will disappear. Whatever culture once was worth to us it will be like a currency whose value has collapsed. Breaking into three points... Phylogeny: I think we will still think of ourselves as human. I mean I buy a '66 Mustang. I dre...
