I had to skip two mealtimes as I slogged through the Obey inspired dialogue on artificial intelligence. It seemed to my poor mind like an exotic banquet where too many of the dishes served were still moving, reminiscent of the dinner scene in the second Indiana Jones movie. Here you have presented the entire subject in a bite sized, ready to eat Happy Meal of understanding. It is all about accident, random mutation and chance. The universe is like some giant McDonalds outlet where billions of Big Macs are produced in boring repitition until through the miracle of the “protein flaw” every once in a great while a beef patty hops off the grill and pursues its own destiny.

Yummy post.
