Actualy WTFIWWY actually covered a news article on Moores Law on one of their Tech Q&A's

Is this it? I always love talks about this sort of topic.

I've been wondering about that topic for awhile. We can modify memories with the crappy tech we currently have. I can only imagine how much easier it would be to modify minds at these god-like tech levels. It might be that McDonald's is merely an Umiak trap designed to tempt the Loroi into going to ...

This one is good. It goes into detail on the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the Confederate States of America: social, cultural, economic, demographic, etc. The Confederation style of government discussed at length.

Here's something from Khan Academy.

Yale has another very good (if slightly dry) playlist covering the American Civil War, I greatly enjoyed it.

Crash course does a decent job of breaking down the history of the Civil War in their US History playlist, link below (episodes 18-22).

If I remember correctly, this conversation is a sidetrack of the actual discussion, which is about a fan-fiction of an excellent webcomic, which updates rather sporadically... Then stop talking to me. At this point I'm only responding to questions and comments directed at me. Absalom I am not inter...

Absalom I've already told you that I have no interest in communicating with you anymore, as you have proven that you have no interest in an honest and adult conversation. It's just not going to happen, I mean this as respectfully as I possibly can. When you propose a position and then refuse to prov...

A wonderful case in point: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea! "German Democratic Republic", "People's Democratic Republic", ... "Democratic" in the name usually forespells less democrcy.... Sorry, topic closed..... Edit: Tangentially, I'd also like to point out that you can't really guarant...

Nah, I'm good Siber. A wonderful case in point: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea! An excellent example of another fascinating topic concerning pseudo-democracies, a type of government which has seen a rise in numbers over the past few decades. While a fascinating topic in and of itself, it ...

As it turns out, I don't have one, and can't be bothered with getting one.

Then I consider you to have no real interest in having an intellectually honest conversation on this topic and I ask that you stop communicating with me.

Oh, don't pay me any mind dragoonfa, I'm just throwing my pol-sci knowledge around. I see all the physics buffs talking about advanced mathematics and engineering and I get all jelly.

I cannot wait for the next chapter, awesome story!

Confederations make perfect sense when you're almost completely satisfied with no governing body: the UN could be argued to be a form, and yet it seems to be sort-of useful. They're basically appropriate for when things work fine, but another layer would make it easier to throw poo at the other guy...

NuclearIceCream please stop. I'm a political scientist with political scientist, U.S. history and world history friends. We all :lol: at Confederations, it's unanimous. Why are you giving the U.S. Confederation as an example of a Confederation they died in like five minutes, and their government is ...

Hah! Nice chapter, I lol'd.

...I still cringe every time I see the word Confederation though.

Arioch and his friends are making a game called Stars in Shadow over here, it is MOO-like: http://stars-in-shadow.com/ You can check it out on Steam here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=563422918 Have you checked out the new MOO game over on Steam? http://store.steampowered.c...

I'm sure they'll be fine. I mean really, what's the worst that could happen?

Besides the Loroi discovering spiders for the first time, of course.

I was playing Star Trek Online and I saw someone launching fireworks from their ship! Do the Loroi, Umiak, Humans or anyone else do this sort of thing? I think a TL 9+ fireworks display in space using military vessels and crews would be something awesome to see! http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/midas...

Awww, so less ruthless than what I was expecting.

The occupiers merely underestimated the effectiveness of the Loroi psionic warfare castes.

Wow, people seem to do that a lot.

I suspect that the Neridi were easier to 'read' and could perhaps 'receive' basic instructions thus allowing them to act as lookouts and agents of opportunity.

I love your naive and idealistic nature.
