"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—"“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . .Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Abstract
The Earth is dotted with ancient ruins.The Quran asks us to take heed from
these ruins, as those civilisations were ‘greater in strength and in impression
on the land’. This study explores what the Quran states about the ancients, as
well as lists the discoveries
Ah, LC, your colleague Sabine Hossenfelder has given forth on the autodidactic
universe. She doesn't hold with it but still enriches the knowledge base.

So Trump is actually more advanced than the rest of us. :-)
Languages also get more complex by borrowing words and concepts from
other languages.

The fundamental issue is that intelligence creatures will

The weird thing about "aryan" history (originally a linguistic term) is
that it is primarily a history of devolution. Classical Sanskrit is already
considerably less grammatically complex than its predecessors. So the
earliest human ancestors presumably spoke a language that was far more

Yes, that is the big question. The most obvious answer is because we are
the first, and sometimes the most obvious answer turns out to be correct.

I suspect AI is already past insect-level for some tasks, e.g. image
recognition and language understanding. The number of parameters in a
state-of-the-art huge language model or in something like DALL-E 2 means that
these are probably already more complex than an insect nervous system. I might
