For them, it’s determinism all the way down." From their viewpoint, they have to say that. But then, we have to say what we say. And if they weren't programmed for it, they would have no reason to care. - Mike Melendez Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:55:36 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/missing-persons.html#comment-5279 Algorithm? Algorithm? Who wrote the algorithm? A room full of monkeys with eternity on their hands? The biologist's own language rats them out and they don't see it. Meanwhile the objects of applied scientific social methods (that would be us) fail to respond as programmed and the tanks must be sent in. Folk model indeed! The scientists seem unable to understand the outcomes of their own experiments. - Other Joe Mon, 15 Nov 2010 08:33:20 +0100
