Follow a course "The philosophy of language" and you never want to hear this question again.... Its fascinating, but there is just sooooooo much to it, so many aspects. What is meaning, what is truth, speech acts , reference and description, names, propositions, metaphors, pretence...

I think I would have the same reaction as Elf, act without thinking firt. But if I know I was going to die while saving that person (so I had the time to think about it for a sec), it would depend on who.

I think it’s just a matter of definition, when is something artificial? When people usually talk about artificial intelligence they refer to "getting intelligence into a machine" I think.

You Are a Snow Leopard You have learned that you must rely on yourself, and yourself alone, to live a happy life. You are understand the world better than most people you know. You are very perceptive and intuitive. You need lots of space to think. If you don't get the space you need, you're...

There is a correlation as in, that the more intelligent people are often better at grammar. But you should not turn it around, that good grammar indicates intelligence, this is false. Correlation does not prove causality. Take dyslexia for example, I have it, I suck at grammar, but it has...
