But the idea came to Guth in 1978 after hearing a lecture by Dicke

inflation by month:
1978   6.8   6.4   6.6   6.5   7.0   7.4   7.7   7.8   8.3   8.9 8.9   9.0
7.6

So at most the influence was in the choice of word for the concept.  Or maybe the market 
heard about Guth's theory and...

faculty of the mind, that was shaped by natural selection that faculty

That faculty construct and/or accept a myth about oneself, their

You can not talk about daemons in the internet age. but you can make

I think it is the only deep question worth of interest.

The question is scientific.

May be the answer is not scientific.

That is why I love comp, it shows this, in some sense.

Normal machine have faith.

The real mystery is why they can lost faith. That is the complex  
process, somehow.


With comp, like in plotinus, souls fall. The fall of the soul, and the  
rise of the matter, is basically the same phenomenon, seen from two  
different perspective.

People tries theories. The real progress are in the means of  
justification.


Yesterday:

Theorem 4: God made it all
Proof: easy, because if you don't say so we will burn you alive with  
your kids.



Today:

Theorem 4: God made it all.
Proof: easy, because if you don't say so, you will not be published.

Of course we are still in the dark age.

Science has not yet begun, because science still deny the faith it  
needs, vitally.


Enlightenment has been only half enlightenment, with theology kept by  
"politics".


Half-enlightenment might be worst that no enlighnment, because it  
provides the technology without the faith. It provide the science  
without the conscience. That is a promise for catastrophes, and  
catastrophes merchandising. It is the culprit for making bandits into  
power.
