  Re: Future of Humanity (was: lotsa stuff)
 
(...) However, many species manage to survive (& flourish) without cleverness, simply be breeding a lot.

(...) Come on, Lar, to ban either of you would be to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

  Re: Future of Humanity (was: lotsa stuff)
 
(...) Optimization for local conditions can be suboptimal for global. I would hold that humanity's chief survival weapon is cleverness. Anything that selects against cleverness/intelligence/drive (the cited example, for instance) is bad for (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Can't Drive 65 (was 'Re: Tolerance of vice')
 
(...) I'll just cite what I learned in Transportation Engineering. The proper way to set speed limits , on a road that wasn't explicitly engineered with limits in mind (1) is the 85th percentile rule. This rule assumes that people basically are (...)

  Can't Drive 65 (was 'Re: Tolerance of vice')

Please elaborate... with statistics if you so prefer. :) Are you denying that speed limits also serve to regulate traffic patterns, allow drivers to avoid accidents by reducing stopping distance(dependent on ~following the limit of course), (...)

  Re: Tolerance of vice
 
(...) Agreed, it wasn't the best of examples, but hopefully you got the general idea. A better example would be (I suppose) whether you think someone who shoplifted a stick of gum should be sentenced to death. Again, I just think the punishment (...)
