I think stars should be an achievement I see no value in cleaning your own sifted queue if it's going to drop you back down a few levels and all your hard work is disappears with some spring cleaning. Maybe star points should be a total of videos sifted ever whether they are dead or alive.

Interesting. It truly points out how naive we are in our day to day thinking. But then again that's good enough to get us through the day.


But when it comes to such seeming simple question of GOD or evolution we stick to what is easy to grasp, that is our common day to day reasoning.

Watching this made me think of evolution. If a particle can be here and there at the same time and if the cat can be dead and alive at the same time can the grand concept of evolution be true? If plants and nature use quantum physics daily how is that part of evolution?

Pure abstract science is cool It really makes one think.

He didn't explain it well at all. Bad video. I can see why people would be more confused. He didn't explain that the gunpowder exploding is dependent upon the quantum state of a radiation source (the "trigger" for the explosion; via a Geiger counter, say) which, unobserved, is in superposition. It has both decayed and remained stable ==> the cat is both dead and alive until we open the box and observe it.

Or something.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. Yet TSA still gets to grope you at the airport. I'd say his mission was a lot more successful than ours. Dead or alive, trial or no trial.

Nobody I read -- and certainly I didn't say -- said that there "absolutely" must be a trial.

What I was trying to say was -- I am distressed that more emphasis has never been put on saying -- we need to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. We need to capture him and bring him to trial in a world court.

It has always been -- kill bin Laden. For years now. Some passing lip service has been made towards capture, but the original phrase was Dead or Alive, not Alive or Dead.

They are just words, but the words reveal a lot about who we are a nation.

As Kymbos said, it is just human nature. I know that I am marginalized fringe in my inability to dehumanize "the enemy." But to me, that is what we must strive for -- to fight against our lizard brains and rise above instinct.

I'm not some Gandhi-like saint -- I get pissed all the time, and easily. And I struggle to move past it.

What bothers me is that, in public, the vast majority are making no attempt to rise above it.

I've said this before -- when I was a kid, it came out that our government attempted to assassinate Fidel Castro. As a nation, we were shocked.

Now, it is nothing -- NOTHING -- to call for the death of an individual. The people guarding him also died. They believed in their cause, enough to die for it. They were wrong, absolutely wrong, but they were not alone. Because guess what -- they too dehumanized their "enemy" which led to 9/11.

We must see this stuff clearly, or we are doomed to repeat it all, endlessly.

This video needed the NES Silver Surfer Death/Fail image following an in-game death, the one you'd see about 2000x in any one play-through.

The robot's image so reminds me of Riki Takeuchi, especially in Takeshi Miike's Dead or Alive: Final... This also seems like a movie Miike would make... or at least appreciate.

Now... is the moon still there is nobody is looking at it, we could dig our teeth into that! Is the cat dead AND alive?

See: "pedantic" and "stupid".

My friend Fi has said on numerous occasions that if she had a dick for the day she'd stick it in a chicken, but I've never asked her if she means dead or alive
