Let's see now. I use irrefutable logic to show that Stephen Hawking is full of shit when he claims that time travel is a valid scientific pursuit and that it is not forbidden by General Relativity. I take the position that Sir Karl Popper was correct when he compared Einstein's spacetime to "Parmenides' block universe in which nothing happens." If nothing can move in spacetime, how can anybody claim that GR does not forbid time travel?

Now who is the crackpot, I or Hawking?

Blake, you don't have a monopoly on ad hominems, you know. I, too, am free to insult people like you as I see fit. And I admit that I rather enjoy it. You are a gutless, politically correct sycophant, in my opinion. Like most of the commenters on this forum, you are here to kiss Yudkowsky's ass. Eliezer, on his part, writes mostly to kiss the asses of those whom he considers his superiors in the scientific community. You're all a bunch of ass kissers. How about that?

You all talk about rationality as if somehow you were born with an exclusive monopoly on logic and wisdom but it remains that you are all members of the human race, with all the biases and dishonesty and cowardice that it entails. It takes guts and gigantic huevos to be rational in this world. Ass kissers don't have those things. I'd rather be a crackpot in your eyes than an ass kisser. See you around.
