As for your question -or a statement ? perhaps – I think you misled yourself about the relative speeds of light and thought. Thoughts happen to be rapid moving electric signals ( alpha, beta, and two others as addressed in the book under the neurology section -lol- ) and electric signals are not faster than that of the speed of light.
As Einstein has proven adamantly, light speed is unachievable without some serious consequences which still stand vague today.

And there isn’t any ‘mission’ for humankind, nor is there any puzzle awaiting to be unresolved. There are decisions. There is suffering. And there is death. Life is that simple, and yet people want to make it more than that.

Having a deterministic view requires one to be..basically materialistic. Which is to ignore all the spirit and afterlife bullshit. Personally, I don’t believe in human spirit. I believe in biological factors that make us up and that we are all part of the earth as we are made up of atoms. When we die, the person we were is not anymore. It’s just that we are gone and will never be the same as everything else. It’s very hard to sum up everything I believe in, so If you would like to discuss any further, hit me up.
Nice post, btw.

I know it well because I was in a similar situation just a year ago, only with a difference: being responsible for the whole book (800+ pages) and an additional data communications text (again 800+ pages).

Tanenbaum’s tales about AT&T monopoly and his mention of DARPA guys as modern age heroes are so focusable that I found it very hard to get technical details. This book is a nightmare if you’re studying for an exam in a limited time span.

The only reason I couldn’t get an A from computer networks, neither my fault nor lack of knowledge. I hope you have done a lot better than me in the exam.

Kitap hakkında ki yorumların çok güzel yorum yapmadan duramadım.Evet gerçekten çok güzel bi kurgu,herşey birbirleriyle bağlantılı ve belkide gerçege çok yakın ama yei kitabı daha da güzel denebilir.ama yine çok bilim var oraları bazen atlıyorum veya çok hızlı okuyorum,((bazen beyin bulandırıyor))

Empatik güçlere sahip insanşar bazı şeyleri degiştiriyor.((Yine beyin güçleriyle alakalı))
İnsan kendi düşündügünü karşısındakine yaptırabiliryor veya karşısındakinin düşüncesini okuyabiliryor.BİZ BUNU ZATEN YAPMIYOR MUYUZ??

Bazı hareketlerle zaten (((ÖR. ben bunu sevmedim ==kafa sallama,Dudak bükme gbi))Karşımızda kine bunu anlatıyoruz zaten hareketlerimzile.,

Ve ben geçenlerde ((evett okudugum kitaların hep etkisinde kalıyorum,empatmıyım?? diye kendimi kontrol ettim:)) Yeni aldgımız bi oyun vardı onu babamlar oynamak istiyodum,ve oyunu elime aldım inceler gbi yaptıım ve babama ben bunu oynamak istiyorum bakışı,duruşu hepsini yaptım..2 dakika sonra babam geldi ve hadi şu yeni aldıgnız oyunu oynayalım dedi(oyun çok sıkıcıydı ama olsun) Eveet ben bi EMPATTIM:DD:D

Bu adamın kitalarını asla kaçırmam artık…!!
