The more hyper-specialized, isolated, and atomized we become, the more oxygen there is for nuttery. We are in dire need of more polymaths.

That's because it isn't an image of humanity, it's a Shoggoth.

True A.I. is still a long way off, and lies in a different direction. Statistical algorithms can never appreciate the raw majesty of nature. Fruit fly or albatross, it's simply beyond even the biggest space-based data centers. No 'grokking' is possible.

10 PRINT 22/7
20 GOTO 10
A machine that can estimate and emphatically display pi was my first glimpse of an artificial intelligence. BTW, GOTO is considered an abomination, but honestly, it's a powerful example of #syntonicity, which is another glimpse of AI.

Think about all the goodness delivered/derived from face to face interaction. The voices, subtle expressions, side-trips, serendipity, and plain old human experience and cognition. We need more of that. The Imitation Game isn't it. Maybe more pubs?

If Forth had been more widely used, we'd be on Titan by now instead of sifting eye candy for 40 years.
