That seems like a lot. Some scholarships are funded by state lotteries, which seems like an excellent idea -- on a side note, what happens if someone "wins" the big lottery? That doesn't affect scholarship funding, does it? Is it true that earlier this year the legislature voted to cut awards by 20%? That seems like a lot.

]]> Comment on Sentience vs. Sovereignty by sell textbooks http://daytonastate.org/sentience-vs-sovereignty-90#comment-17980 sell textbooks Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:36:05 +0000 http://daytonastate.org/sentience-vs-sovereignty-90#comment-17980 Not to pick on you -- your article is cool, you're obviously highly intelligent, but just one thing: I was with you up until the elephant at the zoo is "neither sovereign or sentient" part. Okay, it's not sovereign (based on your def. of sovereign), but it is most certainly sentient! Even you yourself said, "...its sentience," so you know it's sentient! Something cannot be non-sentient now, and then later decided to be sentient. And I don't think it's correct to use the logic that something is, "only sentient if it can declare its sentience ... in a human-understandable way," because sentience is a humanly constructed english word. That's like saying the word "tree" is an english language construct used by humans, so therefore a "tree" isn't really a "tree" to other trees, just to humans. If you have time, would you mind clarifying your position (or correcting me?). I totally agree with the "sentience is awareneness, not necessarily self-awareness" part. Heck, just watching some people walk around town is proof of a lack of self-awareness heh heh. Whether we agree or disagree whether an elephant is "aware" (and thus sentient) or not, it would have been neat to see your article sidestep into whether a computer with highly developed artificial intelligence is sentient or not (a machine can certainly make a declaration of sentience, can't it?).

I keep trying to attend SI's for various classes but they are ALL during daytime hours (and never on Saturdays). Do you think you'd every consider adding in a supplemental Saturday SI? For those of us who might WANT to do it but can't? I only go to school at night or online because I have a full-time job.
