Russian Communist Party MP and Nobel Prize-winner Zhores Alferov has urged restrictions on internet access, saying unlimited access to information can harm people's morals and mental health.

"The internet must have limitations and it must not be available to everyone," Alferov stated in a recent interview with Rossiiskaya Gazeta daily. He went on to explain that in his opinion the total lack of control and restrictions of the net can affect people's behavior and damage publicly-accepted moral guidelines.

"By making fools of our population today we will have a lot of problems," he said.

In the same interview, Alferov said he personally did not expect any conflicts between humanity and artificial intelligence in future, but stated that it was wrong to "fully trust a machine."

Alferov is a world-renowned physicist, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics. He is also a State Duma MP representing the largest opposition party, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF).

But... Who will I argue with if there aren't any commies on the Internet?

    But he gave it a try and soon discovered that hanging out in bars would get him laid.

    Feynman didn't drink at first... But he gave it a try and soon discovered that hanging out in bars would get him laid.

    Unless Feynman was an alien, there was an ealier period on his life when:

    1. he drank heavily, usually until unconsciously asleep
    2. as a result of his drinking, some short time later he'd be laid bare on his back, with someone - highly probable a woman - servicing his genital and anal areas...
    3. ... followed by a cuddling or another drinking session until, satisfied, he'd be back to sleep

    And the frequency!... oh, I can guarantee you'd wish to be able to do it now - every 5 to 3 hours, at least 6 times every 24 hours.
