Chinese medicine has always acknowledged the connection between the brain and the stomach also. Although artificial intelligence is interesting, but how will we be uploading our stomachs to the cloud? :)

Anyways, I guess I’m seeing more and more of a disconnect between people who believe in technology, medical science and old world knowledge.

As Thomas J. Watson Sr. said “To visualize the future…you must know something of the past”

I will admit that we will have to deal with AI as there is no escaping it. So how can we approach it in a less Wild West everything is simple and approach it in a way of respect for nature, history and acknowledge the complexity of our natures.

Although this is where design plays an interesting role. For awhile I was afraid of the concept of AI, but when I see cute little origami robots: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/06/mit-origami-robot/

Sorry rambling. Great post!

Might it be said that those who can be funny will come out shinier in a post-post-modern world? The larger story behind the blowup might look to Paul Constant leaving the stranger, along with a host of other writers of late; the stranger’s willfulness for controversy (sometimes at the expense of a goaded and goading writer) and of course a subsequent and general lust for indignation-fueled take-downs. The aggrieved (and mostly anonymous) public moved almost immediately to have the dude ousted from his project work.

Now why is that?

It takes people time to have something to say. It helps to have experience with other writing (and with living).

If we are careful, we can write without stepping into an ambition shit-pit devised mostly by others. Posturing while ambitious has its risks. Intelligence is in the planning, the keeping and the revising.

Something I read in one of the comment streams: “God is in the details.”
