  • Max Tegmark, welcome aboard!

    George Rebane The Singularity must really be near when we have MIT physicist Max Tegmark climb aboard with the spate of science and industry luminaries who have recently discovered that intelligent machines will someday surpass humans, will systemically displace human labor, and (in a TBD form) will become the dominant lifeform on Earth.  Dr Tegmark…

  • Male/Female Brains – different?

    George Rebane Here’s the latest little piece of reportage on a very uncomfortable topic for progressives – clinical and physiological differences between men’s and women’s brains.  In ‘Do Men and Women Have Different Brains?’ with tagline ‘A controversy sparked by a Google memo brings up an old question: What role does biology play in personality…

  • The Global Warming Religion Revisited

    George Rebane We are told the Internet is forever.  So this is another missive I want to put in that time capsule to inform both my progeny and future cyber-archaeologists that George Rebane lived in the Post-Intellectual Age of Ignorance and was not party to, but merely an observer of, the hysterics camouflaged as science…

  • TT2017 Survivors’ Breakfast

    George Rebane This morning we held the annual Survivors’ Breakfast for TechTest2017 at our usual venue, Tofanelli’s in Grass Valley.  The event was scheduled earlier than usual (0730) due to some school needs; after all this is a school day and we wanted to hold the lollygagging to a minimum.  This was the eleventh breakfast…

  • How Deictic is Your Ontology?

    George Rebane While our Left, especially of the academic bent, assiduously works to stunt the English language – e.g. reduce/mangle the information carrying capacity of words – our technologists have been very busy expanding the language and introducing new words into English and other tongues.  This battle is both important and its outcome is not…

  • ‘Pausebuster’ busted – lamestream laying low

    George Rebane The corrupt ‘science’ (it does not deserve the name) behind the global warming hysteria is unraveling by the day, and the lamestream media is doing everything it can to hide the reports and the devastating supporting facts.  Today the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology issued a press release corroborating the reports…

  • Intelligent Design meets the Singularity

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 25 January 2017.] OK folks, it’s time to take a break from politics and give our Trump trashing muscles a short rest – I’m sure we’ll be back at it soon enough, but in the meantime let’s talk about important things…

  • Stack & Pack Air Travel

    George Rebane This morning’s WSJ report (here) on how airlines are making economy class air travel even less inviting jogged some memories of a new concept that I’ve discussed with my technology development buddies over the years.  Maybe now that the uncomfortable version of stack/pack seating has become de rigueur, it’s time to again consider…

  • Scattershots – 1nov16 (updated 2nov16)

    George Rebane The destruction of America’s economy in order to demonstrate climate change ‘leadership’ hangs over our heads like the sword of Damocles.  Elsewhere in these comment streams I recently remarked, “Nothing will speed post-Americanism more than acceding to the economy busting hysterical nostrums that are supposed to counter anthropogenic global warming. That is one…

  • Polling Phollies

    George Rebane We must always remember that more often than not the public mind is fickle, frantic, and foolish. No one can escape the polls during this election season whose results will be deemed cataclysmic by at least half of the American electorate, no matter who wins.  So all kinds of people from government, campaigns,…
