Dear Pen-lers:
In recent months there has been a good bit of discussion on "Indians",
"Native Americans", etc. Now and again someone would interject that the
terms "Indians" (a product of the European imagination, largely) covered
over a lot of heterogeniety in terms of culture, experiences, mod

Doug,
I'm skeptical about the Santa Fe Institute. I think the Los Alamos "cloud
of smartness" hangs over them. I know a recent doctoral student at the New
School had a fellowship there. I'm sure their $'s are probably come from
those that fund both MIT and Cal Tech.

Of course I meant (AL). AI (artificial intelligence) and AL are sometimes
associated, but AL is more basic, or at least a more difficult proposition
for most protein-based computers to accept.
Without challenging what Bill Lear said, there appear to be some useful
insights to be gained from the SFI crew, whatever their motivations and
political conclusions.
I've just started to familiarize myself with the SFI, but my impression
is they are serious mainstream scientists, doing some of th

Paul Krugman may or may not be more than a minor excrescence on the body

Replacing real politics, I suppose, a process the U.S. probably leads the
world in. I don't know about Britain, but what's struck me as this scandal

Don't apologise. The whole world waits with baited breath to see what
