So just how well do you think Blank Panther would have fared with "immature trolls"

They actually did try to do the same thing to Black Panther that they're trying to do to Captain Marvel now. They just failed.

Net neutrality doesn't relate to cable investment.

Agreed. Problem is all the anti-net neutrality people kept saying we had to get rid of it because it stifles investment, and as soon as its gone we'll enter a golden age where everyone has the most super internet access ever.

As with most promises that everything will be fantastic if we just let giant corporations do whatever they like, none of the promised benefits ever appear.

And believe me, it's sad to see one of our great minds turn into a nut.

I minored in physics at Penn State in the late 90s when he was at the Penn State Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos at Penn State, so I actually attended some of the original lectures he gave on QM. It was just as nutty back then. He basically dreamed up an entirely new particle that didn't exist in the standard model and which had never been detected and then postulated it interacted with microtubules in some unknown way to cause some unknown effect and *MAGIC* consciousness happens.

Even though it was known at the time that's not what microtubules do and that there's no way a neuron could maintain quantum decoherence long enough for it to have any effect on its synaptic function.

It is and always was a bunch of wishful thinking because Penrose personally couldn't deal with the idea free-will may be an illusion.
