The computer is distinguished by rigid discipline and objectivity. It can count beans forever, and can find meaningful patterns in bean statistics. Presently, this is the "end game" for the machine. Human thought differs from the computer by its quality, and cannot be defined by purely computational processes. This difference becomes noticeable when computation is augmented by imagination and intuition which fill gaps in purely objective analyses. Man the bean counter? Is that really all that is a man? A bean counter can make money in the market, and so can the visionary. The two together may make more.
