Maybe the reality is that all the science fiction stories have got it wrong all these times: that we have to genetically engineer different humans to traverse interplanetary (and in the far future, interstellar) distances and to live in alien worlds, so that we have less in common with them, physiologically, than we have with, say, the Cro Magnons.
I love the Radioplayer and to date I can’t get my head round Sounds. It just hasn’t got the same functionality unless one wants to listen to music. Radio plays, comedies et al are my listening menu. It seems that things are gradually being removed from the iPlayer. I’m old so not important to the new BBC.
Just a few days later Assange is evicted from their ambassy in London. that must have been one of the conditions. It's how the IMF rolls, clearly, totally in the pocket of the vile empire called the USA.
I can actually answer this question. Back in the day I was going through Oxford Dictionary and it mentioned that all the meaning use words from a like of about 3,000 words. The list, IIRC, was also at the back of the dictionary. And it also mentioned that on rare occasions they have to use words outside of those 3,000.

I was ONLY seeing clockwise in all images until the counter-clockwise one went about 8 rotations and all of a sudden I saw it counter-clockwise. Now I can’t unsee it.
Let’s say the internet denial of service is controlled by a hacker who owns bots, and is the mastermind. It is possible that in an intellectual denial of service by non-experts there is an expert mastermind.
I sometimes work with old newspapers in bound volumes. It is immediately obvious when a newspaper switched to wood pulp, typically in the 1870s. The earlier editions are beautiful, the pages supple and in nearly as good condition as they were new. Then as soon as the switch occurs the pages are yellow and brittle. The challenge is to turn the page without it crumbling.
Emotions are physical. They register in the pits of our stomachs, in our hair that stands on end, in our racing hearts, in sudden flushes of heat. Most animals, and certainly most mammals, have nervous systems very similar to ours, up to and including the mid-brain structures where emotions "report" to our cognitive structures, which are the only part of us that's really different from all those others. We can articulate our feelings and make more intricate plans to change or prolong them. But there's no reason to think our racing hearts FEEL any different from theirs.
Dr. Topol is making some reasonable observations and then extrapolating wild and wholly unsupported conclusions from them. The Mediterranean diet data is better than many pharmaceutically funded drug studies that medicine bases wide ranging guidelines on. It’s harmful for scientists to be led into such wild speculation when there are plenty of studies with endpoints like death that are measurable and real vs these bizarre end point measures.
