Agreed.

And, if you had AGI tomorrow and asked it to figure out FTL warp drives, it would just explain to you how it's not going to happen. It is impossible, the end. In fact the request is fantasy, nigh nonsensical and self-contradictory.

Isn’t that what the greatest minds in physics would say as well? Yes, yes it is.

No debate will be entered into on this topic by me today.

Actually, no, it isn't. They say it isn't necessarily possible, but not self-contradictory as far as we know. It's good that you aren't going to debate this.

You failed reading comprehension.

[kragen]

You think I'm the one who's failing here?

You said:

"(...) if you had AGI tomorrow and asked it to figure out FTL warp drives, it would just explain to you how it's not going to happen. It is impossible, the end. In fact the request is fantasy, nigh nonsensical and self-contradictory."

"Isn’t that what the greatest minds in physics would say as well? Yes, yes it is."

That is not in fact what the greatest minds in physics would say. Your meta-knowledge of physics has failed you here, resulting in you posting embarrassing misinformation. I'm just having to correct it to prevent you from misleading anyone else.

You failed to realise that I'm not debating you, I'm berating you. Some people see statements like "not debating" as a personal challenge, a reason to get aggressive. Lets be clear: they are not nice people, and you don't want to be trolls like them.

[kragen]

Yes, I can see that you're just trolling, not debating. I appreciate the fact that you aren't debating, because I don't want to have to correct more of your misinformation. I don't think your berating is productive either, although it does demonstrate that—as you said—you are not a nice person.
