Memage

Did that Interests Collage Meme. I was rather surprised that there were rather a large number of naked women featured in the first version of the collage it presented. Strangely enough, none of them were associated with appropriate interests, so they went bye-bye. Even stranger was the fact that it was unable to pull up pictures of anything but guitars for my BDSM interest. WTF? In the end about 5 of the interests got deleted because there was no even vaguely appropriate image presented.

Makes me think there must be a better way to do this. Hmmm.

Whoa.

I had a rather potent screwdriver and am now 3/4 drunk. I am watching an episode of Battlestar Galactica in which Starbuck is trying to pilot a viper while drunk. I think this is too much of the verisimilitude.  Oogh.

More Memeage.

Awake.

I seem to sleep longer and better when I go to sleep in the early mornings as opposed to when I go to bed at a 'reasonable' hour. So, got to sleep at 5:00 am, slept solidly for 10 hours and woke at 3:00 pm feeling quite rested. The only problem with that scheme is the day is pretty much gone, and Sunday morning I need to be up EARLY (Note to self: research just how early.)

Beliefs and Irrationality.

Elizier Yudkowsky has written an enlightening PDF on human biases in reasoning about the future. One of the conclusions I draw from the essay is that policy writers draw upon fiction they have been exposed to as if it consisted of actual events. Thus, when writing legislation that deals with brain implants, for example, those who have been exposed to Star Trek consider the Borg to be a possible outcome far more likely than abstract beneficial ones they have not seen portrayed. Thus this would seem to indicate that, we need to get far more benevolent technological scenarios on TV and in the Movies. There are plenty in Science Fiction literature but the evidence is strong that policy writers never read SF.
