"Sorry about that". But to bring it back "on topic", I look at geopolitics no differently than I look at computer networks, the human body, or any other complex dynamical system. The large human societies form transcendental sets of immense complexity and dynamics. One of the reasons I am currently interested in Lisp is so I can model these dynamics and see if I can pull off a few impressive predictions that will help put transcendental sets -- and me -- on the map. I have heard many in the past claim that humans can't be predicted by mathematics. I say they're all wrong. :-) The real irony is that I wish I were wrong, because their are far-reaching and deep implications -- all of which scares the willies out of me -- if I'm right. Of course, I could just be a wise-ass spewing forth total BS. But I'm having a hard time convincing myself that's the case. :-) -Freedom Fred _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
