It's hard to take seriously a paper that uses the word "tankie"

Lem is my favorite author and the unknowableness of his aliens is what I love most about his work. I'm moved by his depictions of how difficult it can be to communicate with, understand, and relate to others. I especially like the ending of Solaris, where the main character eventually realizes that it will never be possible for him to understand the planet, and then chooses to stay with it anyway
The idea that Asimov's laws of robotics are an actual set of guidelines for building robots is laughable
they make a list of all the known bones and then circle the ones that aren't on the list
