> Incorrect thinking? Good one Mr Orwell!
Thanks for the compliment, but I'm no George Orwell. Oh, excuse me, you
actually intended a lame ad hominem. Instead of addressing the issue itself,
you intend to dismiss it by (wrongly) depicting me as somehow related to an
Orwellian fantasy. Nice try, but a failure nonetheless. "Incorrect thinking"
simply means thinking that fails to solve problems or accurately answer
questions. IOW, ignorance... such as your comment entails.

analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience, SETI
We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
