The success of something like this is up to the human programmers.

MSI, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Thanks for your reply, I agree completely. I’ve been accused of AI myself on more than one occassion <g> Your comment above applies to any endeavour. Contradiction is difficult to programme, yet imho it defines reality, it is the ebb and flow of the world - trying to eliminate it is a move towards extremism. Understanding paradox and managing it is more the challenge if we are to be serious about problem solving. There is a lot more to life than mere logic. You know the old saw, “God” (or whatever floats your Ark) Created a beautiful world, unfortunately it was left to the Devil to Organize. As your comments indicated, the devil is in the details.

- as an aside a few days ago you talked about “free money”... my take is that money ain’t free, nothing is, ever. Lobby Investments Etc Inc., whether for War or Welfare, earn massive returns which far exceed anything the average American can hope for on his money....it’s our system and we love it right. Conspiracy so easily couched in sinisterism, is sometimes nothing more than a couple of friends just being friends. You know the drill.
