Space Settlement

Hi Jake:

The problem is that science have never grasp the level of complexity
of natural intelligence. It is not a matter of speed but of
flexibility and autopoiesis (I am not talking vitalism but about
complex non-linear dynamical system). There is something there that
no current paradigm has modelled as yet. Is a problem that can't be
broken by using just the brute force of computer power. What today
A.I. is doing is like coping an holograph with pen and paper!! What
we need is a new Isaac Newton that develop a decent theory of
intelligence, at last. Hopefully that genious will appear soon enough.

Meanwhile the A.I. establishment on campus will continue
predicting "A.I. in the next five years" for the centuries to come.
