</div>To interact with the *all* the members who want to post, mostly with regards to *opinions*.<br>
I seldom see technical stuff here I don't get elsewhere. The tech
discussions on physics, chem, computers, electronics, qualia, Godel etc
are things that in general I am very familiar with and would not miss
in the slightest. I find regurgitated news items boring. People should
just sub to Kurzweil or various journals if they want it first hand.<br>
