“I have shown that those who deplore Artificial Intelligence are also those who deplore the evolutionary accounts of human mentality: if human minds are non-miraculous products of evolution, then they are, in the requisite sense, artifacts, and all their powers must have an ultimately mechanical explanation. We are descended from macros and made of macros, and nothing we can do is beyond the power of huge assemblies of macros.” IfsMindHumansMadeCan DoProductsHugeEvolutionAccountsExplanationHuman MindArtificial IntelligenceMentalityArtificialMiraculousAssemblyArtifactsMacro Author:Daniel Dennett

“There's a huge misconception that it's all about the oil, and the truth is there's actually not much oil left in Abyei. The misperception arose because when the peace agreement was signed in 2005, Abyei accounted for a quarter of Sudan's oil production. Since then, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague defined major oil fields to lie outside Abyei. They're in the north now, not even up for grabs, and they account for one percent of the oil in Sudan. The idea that it's "oil-rich Abyei" is out of date.” IdeasLyingLeftRichFieldsHugeTruth IsMajorsPercentAccountsCourtProductionsOilDefinedPermanentAgreementQuartersMisconceptionSudanMisperceptionArbitrationOil ProductionOil Field Author:Rebecca Hamilton

“The body of science is not, as it is sometimes thought, a huge coherent mass of facts, neatly arranged in sequence, each one attached to the next by a logical string. In truth, whenever we discover a new fact it involves the elimination of old ones. We are always, as it turns out, fundamentally in error.” SometimesFactsBodyScienceTurnsNextHugeMassLogicAccountsErrorsLogicalStringsSequenceElimination Author:Lewis Thomas
