Ah... but who are you?
The Vorlon Question!
Of course, in a dating context, it's at least as important to know the answer to the Shadow Question: "What do you want?"
The original Fallout is an exception since it had a time limit. The world changed as time went on, regardless if you did anything and if you where slow enough (500 in game days I think) you could loose the game.
Star Control II did something very similar--as time went on, the world changed, and eventually one of the villains would start their omnicidal rampage.
So then the legal system should award status based on usefulness and intelligence, not age as in the present system.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_of_minors
"In most countries of the world, adolescents below the legal age of majority (adulthood) may be emancipated in some manner: through marriage, economic self-sufficiency, educational degree or diploma, military service, or obtaining medical conditions in a form of diseases such as AIDS, HPV, or other STDs."
But should stupid adults have no rights?
Perhaps my error ... I didn't read anything in Bond's article that suggested he was only referring to fans of fiction and movies. Are there differences between otaku and tifosi? What are they?
Bond's article was mostly referring to fans of fiction and movies, but as someone who has spent time on fora related to both sports fandom and anime fandom, I can safely say they're very similar. You see the same sort of memetics in both--sports message boards frequently fill up with people "quoting"(I don't think this is the best word) the chants made in the stadium itself, much like you'll often see anime-related boards fill up with people quoting famous lines from certain series. You see the same sort of provincialism in both--"If you're a fan of X, you're not allowed to be a fan of Y, and vice versa" is a common refrain in certain tvtropes pages about Fan Dumb, and that's also pretty much the definition of a sports rivalry. And there's also the internecine stuff, where you have endless debates over the worth of a player or the motivations of a character.
So yeah, I'd say fandom is universal.

and when possible, use irrationality for the short run.
How exactly do you use irrationality?

You don't, you use a decision model that incorporates bias.

If "AI will be dangerous to the world" became a socially accepted factoid you would get it spilling over in all sorts of unintended fashions. It might not be socially acceptable to use Wolfram Alpha as it is too AI-ish,
It already is a socially accepted factoid. People are afraid of AI for no good reason. (As for Wolfram Alpha, it's at about the same level as ALICE. I'm getting more and more convinced that Stephen Wolfram has lost it...)
Awww, shucks! You warm my heart^H^H^H^H^H limbic system. (Consider this as a reply to (almost) everyone.)
As far as I recall, in the actual game show Monty Hall was never required to open a 'goat' door and offer you the switch. In fact, he did so almost exactly often enough to make switching vs. not switching a neutral proposition. I'm not exactly sure why, but this feels very relevant to the point of this post.
To make it look more fair than it actually is.
Men who are introverted, sensitive, and Agreeable often make this complaint, yet they tend to perceive men without those qualities as "jerks."
The PUA community also notes that many of the men who make this complaint are in fact passive-aggressively misogynistic and/or fearful of women, and that they need to get over it.
That is, some men who have "nice" behaviors towards women do so because they are enacting a one-sided bargain, expecting to trade these behaviors in exchange for being accepted and not rejected, then become angry when the "bargain" isn't kept.
IOW, being "nice" can be just as manipulative for the typical AFC, as anything the PUAs are going to teach him. And many of the things they'll teach him will be far less manipulative and deceitful than what he was already doing, despite being less socially acceptable than being "nice".
I know that PUA is "pickup artist" but what is AFC?

Well, if you were a superintelligence from another galaxy who was nearly omniscient, what would YOU do with it?
