All of them are complicated topics and there might not be one "correct" answer to these issues at all. No matter whatever, the book is great and I would like to recommend it to anybody who likes to think.<BR/><BR/>YihongYihong Dinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410466834942147505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360257.post-58822572836741410072008-07-28T20:27:00.000-04:002008-07-28T20:27:00.000-04:00Yihong: Enjoyed your insightful review.

There is a thesis in the book that quantum computers simulate the universe that is doing the computation, and each can be analog or digital, therefore programming them is equivalent. An interesting claim is that since building a machine often results in observing new natural laws, machines can actually drive scientific discovery.

If instead evaluation of mind becomes the frontier, without the buffer of capital or land with which the evaluation is done, for those who has a low score initially, whose mind is not so impressive and isn't possible to change significantly, isn't genocide of the other group with high scores in the 'mind test' the only option left for them?<BR/><BR/>What did I say... <BR/><BR/>Good post, Yihong.<BR/><BR/>Keep going!<BR/><BR/>TianlunUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503814610980705598noreply@blogger.com
