Skatequeen Not sure what it's called, but I think it's from the movie The Ghost danielrhodes The music is from the soundtrack for The Last of the Mohicans Thanks! It's song "Elk Hunt" from The Last of the Mohicans. Thanks very much! Mustangchick72 It is from the movie the Last of the Mohicans...I love that soundtrack. It's called the kiss...not elk hunt. alane I hate to say this but if even the population growth rates are correct, which they are most likely, then all of us college age people are going to have a rough time cutting out a future for this country. Bbs53 modfather1965 Yes, Mohicans soundtrack...
Rosedenose Do you not realize that these same things are going on in America?

"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"The actual advice here is technically a quote from Kurt Vonnegut's "good uncle" Alex, but Vonnegut was nice enough to pass it on at speeches and in A Man Without A Country.
Though he was sometimes derided as too gloomy and cynical, Vonnegut's most resonant messages have always been hopeful in the face of almost-certain doom. And his best advice seems almost ridiculously simple: Give your own happiness a bit of brainspace. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. How do you prove photography to a blind man? That was the question I was asked: how would you prove to a blind man, that photography exists?
I knew what he was getting at. We had been discussing psychics. He was a firm believer in psychic powers, had had psychic experiences, and regularly visited a psychic. His point was, since I had not experienced psychic powers, I would never be able to believe in what he “knew” to be true. You could never prove to a blind man that photography exists, and likewise no one would ever be able to demonstrate to me that psychic powers were real. It took me about ten seconds to think of a way to show he was wrong. He will want to repeat the experiment with different rooms and different sighted people. The believer went quiet. My first question was, if you did this 1,000 times, and the sighted person got the correct number of fingers (say) 225 times out of 1,000 (where pure chance would be 200 times), would the blind man believe that this “anomaly” was proof of photography? Post Script.
Are You Living in a Computer Simulation? Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears. Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct). Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race.
The structure of the paper is as follows. Memory seems to be a no more stringent constraint than processing power.
