My Yüeh and Pu Tong Hua are not comparable to the IndoEuropean langs with similar numbers. However if I persist in this form this will change as 仁 文 develops.

- It really irks me that I will not have the resources to attempt any more than a few words of languages such as Arabic and Portugues. Further the other constituents of 仁 文 are not co-equals either. I do not believe it practical that I can even come close to English fluency in any thing other than Modern Standard Chinese nor exceed in any other language outside Engels whatever is the highest

- Adjusted Qin boxxen per above.

The current ability to set BabelBoxxen varies per lingo. The numbers are fuzzy anywho as indicated above with a hedge of +/- 1. In particular most wikipediæ don't currently have a level zero. Lycurgus 20:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Only boldness really applies, otherwise I'm much more of a gnome or elf, don't try to be disruptive and I don't leave messes for others to clean up. Also not that old as a Wikipedian (since 5/2006 but not really active till a year later). Besides JKnecht (former IRC handle) have had no other registered identities here. |

[edit] Current
Trying to channel time I would spend on en:WP content into other activities, will respond to emails if possible, however I am not an admin here and my time for the standard tragedy of the commons drama in such scenes and acts as the David North¹ matter, Sicko, u.a.m., (cf. archives) is very limited.

- ¹ It appears the SEP/GRPI were able to operate here unopposed and suppress the previous article David North (Trotsykist) and it's discussion which glaringly showed their attempt to suppress what the "Notes on the SEP/GRPI Puzzle" article linked above is referring to. There were more details supplied by others, but the main thing it showed was how Joe Kay and presumably others from the group in question attempted to simply suppress the discussion. I think it's the obscurity of this group and especially the obscurity of socialism in US politics that allows this to happen here. All politics is either Democrat or Republican and the other stuff just doesn't matter should it become known. If this was about video games or something the wiki community process would probably have worked better. Lycurgus (talk) 04:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] EM Communication Implications
Additionally, with respect to Kurzweil's argument in Ch. 6 of "The Singularity Is Near", there is another issue. If we assume that current physics is correct in what it positively states, then there is a strong violation of the Copernican principle. This is because since EM signals further and further away must correspond to events that much further back in time up to the limit imposed by the overall evolution of the universe, probably in fact back to the second generation of stars. This in turn implies that our knowledge of ETI in all but a tiny section of time and space must be impossible by this means. Search by such means requires that the signal either be very long ago or pretty close to the Earth. However except for the observed distribution of galaxies, there is no reason to assume that such would be anything other than randomly distributed within that distribution. Indeed, the rate of species attaining to the singularity should be increasing in time over the period from the middle of the second generation of stars so that most should be relatively recent, in effect making the contribution of those long ago less than significant as a term in comparison to the location bias.
