Who was the greater visionary?

[The Brain]

It is a shame how you carry on.

Who me?

Thanks for noticing.

Nothing escapes me. No one escapes me.

Both 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Time Machine are on cable on different channels.  Hence, the reason for the question.

Choose and post your reasons.

The guy who invented dual tuner DVR is the greatest visionary of them all.

Null vote: Ayn Rand's visions have come to pass. Wells and Verne were mere ham and eggers when it came to predicting the future.

Really? Mind to give us an example? Because last time I checked Atlas hadn't shrugged and übermenschen still went to jail if they raped women 'à la Fountainhead'... Now, talking seriously, I think the biggest success positivism has reached in recent years is inspiring Bioshock, and that, while worthy, isn't terribly serious.

Farism has a much more solid track record.

I wonder.  If Atlas shrugged off the sky wouldn't he be crushed along with the rest of world?

I daresay Grumbler thinks you are an A.I. That or perhaps an hermaphrodite (does English grammar use 'its' for bisexual organisms?  )

A.I.?


No; it takes genuine skill and charisma to be this larger than life, even on the internet.  One couldn't stay in character long enough were this one's sock puppet.

For some things gender distinctions are unimportant.  One doesn't refer to n00bs or insects by gender.

[Razgovory]

I am pleased with how that turned out.
