I don't know for sure of course. Just conjecture.

That's how they live their lives. Sabotaging whatever they can to get an edge so they can win because that is the be all and end of life...winning. Anything else and you might as well be dead. It won't count. So how do you INSURE winning at cards? Stack the deck of course. SIGH. 2018 and 2020 elections will be based on stacked decks and will be even worse. Russia now KNOWS how effective it can be. They are better at it and smarter at it and will be even more so as time goes by. Isn't that a swell tomorrow to which we can all look forward? less

Like his I expect since scientists are locked in to FACTS and FACTS annoy the he** outta Pruitt. They don't match his beliefs. So be prepared for non-science folks who will quite likely have ties to the fossil fuel industry. They would be as anti-science a group as any since their dog is in that fight isn't it? But we know that is precisely why The Donald John put Scott Pruitt in charge. The attitude of Trumpworld and its denizens is that anything science-based is VERY BAD. Anything education based is VERY BAD. Anything fact-based is VERY BAD. They try their dam*dest to avoid VERY BAD. less

He has spent most of the last decade "teaching" computer programs how to identify thoughts. He found that each emotion has a specific signature in the brain( as ascertained with the use of MRI technology) and "trained" a piece of software to follow the patterns and recognized about 30 concepts and emotions. He created AI than can read thoughts. He and some colleagues published a paper recently in the journal NATURE. Will such machines replace psychiatrists? Are humans becoming extinct as doers while machines take over all doing? less
