re: #87 EPR-radar

Nice analogy. I’m also reminded of an old Vernor Vinge science fiction novel where there was an intergalactic internet, and one of the running jokes in the book was a persistent poster whose thesis was that human behavior could be explained in light of the fact that humans were hexapodal.

If you don’t read Stanislav Lem, you should.

The Star Diaries includes a segment where a human ambassador is brought before a universal congress, only to have a delegate inrevocably demonstrate that human are impossible, as they a pile of mucilage from a planet orbiting a single star, covered in far too much water, have bilateral symmetry, etc.

It goes on at length about the impossibility of human live, and resolves in determining that all biological life on Earth was the product of a malicious prank, with the culprit forced to pay cosmic alimony.
