A computer can do what an engineer can do. What a computer cannot do is ponder its existence and the questions of the universe. Left brain thinking is involved in sequential logic. Rigth brain thinking is involved in the simultaneous juxtapositioning of things. Who sees the larger picture of life?? The left or right brain? I have found in my long life, engineers are the most enigmatic of all professions. Yes, they are able to do mathematical tricks, but at the same time deny evolution and go to church on Sunday. And vote Republican-lol. I earned a lot of my way through college playing poker. And can still play at the highest levels in the biggest games. No brag, just fact. I have played against lots of the PHD hard science guys as they assume their computer brains should be able to dominate the game and yet they are usually a piece of cake to beat. And the larger the game the easier they are to beat. They know the pot odds, hand values and position, but they can't see the game for shit. They are like playing against blind guys or children. I watch their play and try to determine what they are drawing at. If I figure the odds are against them making their hand and I am in position I bet out on the river no matter what I have. And they will usually throw their hand away. All they know is that they missed their hand. they do not have a lcue what I am doing. In fact a couple of years ago my younger daughter was going to school in your country at the university of New Zealand in Duniden as an exchange studdent. The first three days I took $3,000 out of a little 10/20 game. They were such bad players, I felt guilty. The guy to the left of me, Andress who taught at the local university and has a PHD in physics lost to me every night. If you get down there ask him about the yank who took all his money. He will be easy to find, and know exactly who you are talking about, as I helped him for a couple of years after that game. He is a very very nice guy and knew spooky action at a distance was just an effct of the quantum wave action-lol. Understanding physics was easy for him, but poker he found to be a bit harder :). In big games 30/60 50/100 Texas hold em bluffing is a major part of the game. Engineers can calculate, but often cannot see the big picture and are not even aware of what they are not seeing. the nice thing about poker is one can prove their theories ie.e whomever ends up with all the money is obviosly correct-lol. >>Not in real subjects [such as engineering] in real universities they don't <People with 100 IQ's get PHDs from major universities all the time you silly person. >
