Yes, and there is a tendency in silicon valley for software engineers to never grow out of their inability to acknowledge exactly how statistically rare and strange are their views. When everyone you run into is exactly the same as yourself, there are no social control rods to keep your weird ideas from spinning out of reasonable scope. So few of the engineers I know can ask the big questions about the evolution of complexity handling machinery. And the scientists have long sence left computer "science". That computation defines (despite any long range plan) more and more of the future means we are in trouble as a species. Big trouble.

Her books are 2-dimensional exercises in projecting her ideas that are extremely popular with the 20-30 set who have been through their left-wing phase and are now experiencing their backlash reaction. Once people realise how 2-dimensional her ideas are and how they fail to account (just as Marxism does) for the nature of humanity they move on; normally giving up adopting extreme political postures. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [The entire original message is not included] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
