I've done the same with a very important password for work. One day it just wasn't there any more

I relate to this so hard. If somebody asks me to tell them something about when I went to school there is literally nothing there. If someone tells me about something that happened when I was at school I immediately remember the whole thing plus a bunch of related stuff

But for how long?

Hmm I've read about aphantasia before and heard shows about it but this diagram actually made me think I may be a 4 or 5. When I try to imagine an apple all I have is flutters of memories of what apples look like, , but I can't create a picture in my mind of one

We have similar treaties for the sea and for Antarctica a d they are generally followed as no country wants to be the one to break them. Not foolproof by any means and it's pretty likely a rogue character like Trump would push through without thinking about the consequences.

That was just an example - in the book they are positing that most of the things people want to mine on the moon are actually very rare - though there may be a lot across the moon it will nit be easy to mine it because the density is low.

What exactly are they going to mine? I'n "A City On Mars" (Kelly and ZACH Weinersmith) they claim "one estimate suggests it takes 150 tons of regoluth to produce a single gram of helium-3". How is that useful?

There are lots of claims online about how abundant Helium-3 is on the moon but they all gloss over the specifics.

Well you are doing a poor job of it and are bringing an unnecessary amount of heat to an otherwise civil discussion

Haha wtf are you talking about. You have no idea what generation I am, you don't know how old I am and I never said there is nothing new under the sun.

You seem to think that one day somebody invented the first language, or made the first song?

There was no "first language" and no "first song". These things would have evolved from something that was not quite a full language, or not quite a full song.

Animals influenced the first cave painters, that seems pretty obvious.

No... There are a lot of radio shows that get scientists to speak.

Haha coming in hot I see. Seems like I've touched a nerve. You don't know anything about me or whether I'm creative in any way.

All ideas have basis in something we have experienced or learned. There is no completely original idea. All music was influenced by something that came before it, all art by something the artist saw or experienced. This doesn't make it bad and it doesn't mean an AI could have done it

 

My girlfriend will look at things eg. Colours, items, clothes, food etc and point out all the things she likes. For me those things just exist and I don't have much of an opinion on them. Like theres 100 paint colours them but they're all fine, how am I meant to know whether any are better than the others.

I am also not known to get visually excited about things, I got a skydive for my 30 birthday and I think everyone was disappointed with my reaction even though inside I was very excited to do it.
