If we can’t answer that question here on Earth, how will we know when and if we discover alien life on other worlds? The question hangs over some of society’s most charged conflicts - whether a fertilized egg is a living person, for example, and when we ought to declare a person legally dead.

When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957.

Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like? Many think the first truly smart robots will be brain emulations, or ems. Scan a human brain, then run a model with the same connections on a fast computer, and you have a robot brain, but recognizably human. Train an em to do some job and copy it a million times; an army of workers is at your disposal. When they can be made cheaply, within perhaps a century, ems will displace humans in most jobs.

Sigmund Freud remains one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of psychology. His groundbreaking theories on the unconscious mind, psychoanalysis, dream interpretation, and human development transformed the way people understand behavior, personality, and mental health.

His ideas about repression, defense mechanisms, and the structural model of the mind—dividing it into the id, ego, and superego—became ...
