You are such a hypocrite. You passively aggressively make snipes at me and you accuse me of being unprincipled and then you pitch a fit when I return the favor.

What a strange and non-self-aware person you seem to be.

There's zero chance of a pluralistic society in North America or western Europe ever becoming a real theocracy.

I don't think having a fixed moral framework is a bad thing. There is generally nearly universal agreement that humility, charity, mercy, non-violence, universal love is the target to shoot for, even if many fall short

Trump himself felt the social pressure to conform to a fixed moral framework, so much so that he set up a fake charitable foundation to create the impression he was conforming to at least some moral expectations

$20 says it's because his ancestry is Russian.

Meanwhile, I'm an all-American Heinz 57. What are you, Perry? Do you know?

80 percent British and Irish doesn't seem at all like a mixed mutt dog. Most British are probably a mix of Anglo Saxon, Celtic, Norse, and French. You seem as close to being pure British as an American can get.

It's my mother's side. My dad's side is a little more adventurous. Still, the mix is greater than average for a Euro-American.
My wife's DNA is pure northern Europe. :) Have you ever had your DNA analyzed?

So cool.

Yes! Mine came out predominantly Russian and Lithuanian (Baltic).

It's basically an application of the Imitation Game made famous by Alan Turing's computer intelligence research.

The Imitation Game

In fact, Turing well understood the need for empirical evidence, proposing what has become known as the Turing Test to determine if a machine was capable of thinking. The test was an adaptation of a Victorian-style competition called the imitation game.

It involves secluding a man and woman from an interrogator who has to guess which is which by asking questions and studying written replies.

The man aims to fool the interrogator, while the woman tries to help him.

In the Turing Test, a computer program replaces the man. Turing asked: "Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman."

Effectively, the test studies whether the interrogator can determine which is computer and which is human (although Turing did not explicitly say that the interrogator should be told that one of the respondents was a computer it seems clear to me from his example questions that this was what he intended).

The idea was that if the questioner could not tell the difference between human and machine, the computer would be considered to be thinking.

Being angry is detrimental to your best interests, Ms. BP.

A new study has found being angry increases your vulnerability to misinformation
Human memory is prone to error — and new research provides evidence that anger can increase these errors. The new findings have been published in the scientific journal Experimental Psychology.

“My interest in the impact of anger on misinformation came from both real-world experience and research,” said study author Michael Greenstein, an assistant professor at Framingham State University.

“From the real-world side, there’s this phrase that people say — ‘don’t get emotional.’ That phrase is somewhat often used to describe anger and the idea that when you’re angry you’ll make poor decisions, which would also imply poor memory use.”

“From the research side, anger is an interesting emotion because it somewhat defies traditional classifications in that it’s a ‘negative’ emotion, but it impacts cognition in a lot of ways that are more similar to ‘positive’ emotions.”...

...The researchers found that anger did not impair the ability to recognize details actually present in the film. However, those in the anger condition were more susceptible to misinformation than those in the neutral condition. In other words, angry participants were more likely to misattribute details from the initial quiz to what they had seen in the film.

The researchers also found that participants in the anger condition tended to be more confident in the accuracy of their memories. But among those participants, increased confidence was associated with decreased accuracy. Among those in the neutral condition, in contrast, increased confidence was associated with increased accuracy..
