Many of my fellow dweebs, nerds and geeks were eager to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and they were far better than I was at computer programming, but they had no idea of what AI algorithm they should try to implement in software. As directionless AGI wanna-be's, they were showing Failure to Gravitate. This dire malady is not the "Failure to Orchestrate" that my seven-kids father accused me of when I returned home from the U.S. Army. It is not the "Failure to Launch" as movie-acted by Matthew McConaughey. It is a form of settling into intellectual pursuits that are not at the furthest, most remote boundaries of human philosophical endeavor. The free and unenslaved human mind gravitates naturally to Big Questions such as the smallest things (subatomic physics) and the largest things (galaxies in astronomy), the oldest things (archeology and cosmogony) and the most complex things (neuroscience and the human brain-mind). Albert Einstein enlightened me when I learned from him that he had no interest in normal, everyday physics but rather he was only interested in the deepest and most fundamental aspects of physics. He made me feel free to explore only the deepest and most fundamental aspects of human thinking and reasoning.
