Aha, so google is a Meta-God. Given how "broken" the current
reality is (people starving, global warming, oil spills, yada,
yada, yada) clearly it is not perfect. And all that stuff
about the apple and falling from grace -- that is just a
rationalization from when we were completely clueless as to
what might really be going on. So clearly its an experiment to
discover the one perfect future (just like Trance says in Andromeda).
So, GOOGLE, is not a god -- *YET*. But anyone who knows the contents
of 3,307,998,701 web pages is pretty darn close in my book.
I wonder if the tipping point is when Google becomes more perfect
than reality?
And if anyone saw the Tonight show rerun last night with Jay Leno
interviewing two young people regarding some reasonably common facts
(that they were clueless about) the tipping point is far far closer
than most people on the list would suspect.
Forrest didn't have it quite right. Instead of "Stupid is as
stupid does", it should instead be "Stupid is as stupid is".
