Ever see quotes?
I read a quote just now which ABSOLUTELY fit most Libs on this board, and those i've met in real life, IF tweaked slightly:
Professor Kevin Warwick, a cyberneticist at the university, said: "I would say now that machines are conscious, but in a machine-like way, just as you see a bat or a rat is conscious like a bat or rat, which is different from a human. I think the reason Alan Turing set this game up was that maybe to him consciousness was not that important; it's more the appearance of it, and this test is an important aspect of appearance."
My take:
Professor Kevin Warwick, a cyberneticist at the university, said: "I would say now that
Liberals are conscious, but in a machine-like way, just as you see a bat or a rat is conscious like a bat or rat, which is different from a
reasonable, rational, free-thinking human. ... maybe...to
Liberals consciousness
isn't that important; it's more the appearance of it..."

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
