Techmology and Scientism / Re: Weekly Science Headlines

Taken at face value, this announcement didn't appear to me to be all that interesting:

Research News Brief: sketching E.T. with the fundamental logic of life

And, the long, formal paper being announced is likely going to attract the attention of only the hardcore life sciences types:

Fundamental constraints to the logic of living systems

But, this research paper did catch the attention of Sabine Hossenfelder, and I found her insights to be quite interesting, as follows:

"New Study Finds Alien Life Must Be Similar To Us"

Still, I have to admit that learning alien life must be similar to us is a bit depressing. After all, I have met "Us."

so bad news is, unemployment has sidestepped having to pay me in a way so dumb it would overload my brain if i had to elaborate, so it looks like i'm gonna need to build up a nest egg before i can fly the coop. Goods news is i've been tentatively hired by a children's entertainment company to do birthday entertainment. so yeah I'm gonna be a birthday clown.

I couldn't be trusted with that job, for more or less the same reason Cain can't be trusted with that job.

It's illegal for ECH to even apply.

This is what my cabal is called.

Is SleepyFocker your chosen, official Holy Name™?

Actually it's Sleepy Fox, cuz I like to sleep in tight burrows.

Welcome to the forum SleepyFocker. It's entirely up to you, but you may want to use your official HOLY NAME^TM as your Forum Profile's Website title. One of the many benefits of being a Discordian is that you can change your HOLY NAME^TM whenever you're in the mood.

So then, it was only a wild guess on my part, but after all this time I'm dying to know for sure: Is there any chance that BashfulFocker, DocFocker, DopeyFocker, GrumpyFocker, HappyFocker, or SneezyFocker are also members of your cabal?
