Pastimes : Ask John Galt...

John Galt seeks to reveal the 'reality of things'. Finding order
in the 'objective universe' is critical to this quest. But be wise,
Delbert, not to impose order where order does not exist. Leave this
to the mystics.

It is very possible that science will fall into the land of mysticism if we are not wise. For the further in and the further out we see,
the more mysterious, and the more difficulty in detaching our own
biases.

Do not relegate the human mind to a mere computer. A computer is a mechanical device with algorithmic instruction. Know that randomness is not reproducable. It is this randomness that allows for volition
that is not reproducable in a computer. They will try, and they will
fail. Randomness is that which is quantifiably immeasurable (until
perhaps that day comes, Delbert, when you have discovered that what IS quantifiably immeasurable is now measurable). Good luck.
