Re: Progress in AI

Philosophically there are many things impossible for AI, it can only do so much and improve outcomes for health isn't one. Can it make better decisions? Here or there, but the inputs and control points are by ... oh yes, you guessed it: humans.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

It's nice to hear Mr. Xenakis is back and healthy. I like the outline. Is the world going to go corporate first? Consolidate it all? Or will the solution be in the works for the mark? Perhaps someone who can stop the war? It's either that or another generation til the transhumanist movement takes re...

Re: 23-May-17 World View -- Germany's government blocks debt relief for Greece, despite new austerity measures

A jewish friend of mine had a funny Dad, who grew up in a part of the country later in life where my Dad was raised. He told me, "It takes two jews to outsmart a greek, and two greeks to outsmart an armenian." I laughed. Yes, I'm one of those ethnicities. (but more important than anything, I'm ortho...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

I always was amused by the boomer and older generation disdain for the younger generations --- ones that by and large never had anywhere near the opportunity they had, who they closed the door on, let in non European immigrants, destroyed religion, ran universities into bureaucratic nightmares, and ...

Re: My World War III alliances prediction

I've never understood the Xenakis assignment of Iran to the Allies. I also found the lack of an Israel mention to be curious. The only thing I feel really confident about is his main idea of (China/Pakistan) vs. US/Russia (I think the islands nearby, S. Korea/Japan/Australia go without saying). Some...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Long time lurker. Interesting bunch of messages and ideas you all have here. I think you should all be thinking more eschatology than anything else, if you are going to go as far as many of the bombastic ideas I've seen. The global elites have had all of this in the planning, but now that they reali...
