Who do you consider "The Most Dangerous Man Alive" and why?

I've only been up for like an hour and a half*, but I'll hoist a few with y'all.
*I'm not in some other time zone, I just slept all day because it was a long week and I don't have anything I need to deal with, so why not?

Most dangerous man alive: Kim Jong-un. He's got a country with nuclear capability that thinks he's a god, and he was raised on that propaganda.

But he knows the truth as does the rest of the world. He is nothing. Great answer(I'm not arguing with you by the way...just commenting).
I'd have to say Paul Vunak. Check out some of his youtube videos. The man has ridiculous hand to hand combat skills. He trained with the Gracies BEFORE they were household names. And, yes, he trained Navy Seals how to kill barehanded. So yes he has mad credentials...to me at least.

I think some men reach their full danger potential years after death.

Wow, that was an impressive answer. Didn't look at it that way. Jesus?
Who wishes to field the next question?(After this one of course, hahaha).

What's your opinions on the uncanny valley and where we are in relation to it?

I'm not sure Kim Jong-un does know the truth. After a couple of generations of living in that kind of environment, the Stalin quote about any lie that's repeated often enough becoming accepted, and then truth really starts to come into play.
I'll have to check out some Vunak vids, I've heard of him, but never seen him in action.

As for the 'uncanny valley' I'd have to say that perhaps the roboticists are going for beauty and beauty has to be natural. If they went instead for life-like with perhaps some intentional repulsion built in we as a race may be less put off. I do remember a test done with monkeys where there were two fake moms. One gave actual milk and looked like a metal skeleton completely lacking any semblances to a monkey and the other looked like a monkey and the baby monkey would go to the milk mom more often that the other. I wonder if that has any correlation.

But I mean how could that guy look in the mirror while naked after a shower and not know the truth? He passes gas, gets heartburn, tires like a mortal. He has to know he isn't a God and I'd say that 99% of the population think him a fool for masquerading as one.

Interesting. I saw another monkey study that had the opposite result, where the baby would go for the mom that felt like a monkey over the one that actually provided physical sustenance.
I was actually just talking about the uncanny valley with regard to real people the other day. How some celebrities have had so much plastic surgery done, and exaggerated their features so far, that they no longer look quite human, and creep me the hell out.

Maybe I'm remembering the monkey vid in reverse which is likely.

I wasn't sure, I thought I might have been confused by this story I saw on Tumblr yesterday about an orphaned baby owl that sleeps cuddled up to stuffed owl toy. Adorable, but also really sad.

My brother and I are writing a screenplay about the Mexican cartel here in Arizona. And one of the main bad guys is nicknamed 'The Owl'. He will be very mean and efficient.

He should have a bionic finger. For no reason other than to say he has it.

Just ran across a bunch of pics of raspberry things on tumblr. I need to go to the store to see if the local raspberries are on sale yet. Back in a bit.
