Ya havta love this group!! Stephen Lawrence
is correct in his view.. but.. think again of the question.
The red foot tribe never lies and the green foot tribe
never tells the truth
The question presupposes an attempt by the visitor to
determine if the tribe is red foot or green foot using the knowledge of their
respective traits of lying or telling the truth by the color of their
feet. The lying green foot could answer yes and be lying to himself
.
In studying the concept of quadratic computing for the
future, an element of ethics interposes upon the thought process and must be a
component of the software.
In the movie 2001 a space oddessy.. the computer named "
Hal" lacked a programmed ethics code.
Ever notice the major businesses and government agencies
all have a " mission statement" posted BUT>>
few have a statement of business ethics and conduct
posted.
Perhaps one day we will see business and government
operated by an ethics based computing system.
