Re: SOLO Philosophy by Bertrand Russell - dc

Thanks. (I only had one father, btw. :lol: ) Chapter V is up. I think of all the ones we have done so far, it is the easiest to understand. His discussion of how living beings differ from machines is interesting in light of AI. I am hoping it is a clean edit, as there was a mind boggling barrage of ...

Section 19 is up. Sacco's experiences here are heartbreaking, if one assumes he was innocent.

Re: [BIOGRAPHY] Daughter of the Sky: The Story of Amelia Earhardt, by Paul L. Briand, Jr. -jo

Thank you! I have put in the final two chapters , since they were so short. And the book wasn't as fun to do now that she has crashed, so I thought I'd be done with it. The author's theory about Earhardt's final fate seems pretty implausible to me on several counts. I guess if they ever can get a cl...
