TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Can't read all of it, doing my homework before class, but wow.

That was really cool! I read about this project a few years back - it's good to see that they're making "progress". I can't wait to find out of they can make a functional robot with a rat brain. Fascinating stuff.

The bright lad DID say he's aiming for a simulation that can do "anything".  I hope he's not off his bean, because that would save me a lot of legwork in doing what I want to do with robots.

Of course this assumes what he's done can't be done better.

The first time I saw news about this project, I thought, they'll never reach the level of complexity needed to simulate human concious processes, and not only that, but they're trying to run it on computers.

Now that I see more detail, that the connections are actually simulating a full neural network of "synapses" and how they are truly modeling it off of neural physiology, it is much more plausable and interesting to me.

The question is not can we, the question is, should we?
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.

I think whether or not we "should" is academic at this point.  The reality is that there is a lot of money in intelligent mechanical labor, and it's going to happen eventually regardless, assuming it can happen.
