There are people living in this completely artificial environment of civilized world Today, who don't possess enough natural human curiosity to interact with this 'condensed knowledge of the Humankind'... Are you already brain dead, fellow bipeds, or just 'busy'?

Owning an intellectual slave (human or machine) is a form of intellectual self-enslavement.

Wow! As it turns out Uriel Weinreich came up with "Language is its own metalanguage"! I didn't know that when I came up with: "Natural language is a metalanguage of itself; hence it is _infinitely_ extensible."... Was so proud of myself, ha-ha-ha! 🙂

Now Tekna will try to convince you that they 'solved physics' because their Machine can juggle formulas better than professional formula jugglers calling themself 'Theoretical Physicists'. 🙂 They can not imagine how funny it is for a Physicist to hear this.

It is a very telling fact that the man does not notice that language itself is a form of generalization when he is talking about '...models that generalize poorly'. It tells you a lot about the way _he_ thinks, he is not extracting himself from the context that he is reasoning about.
