Human's are what computers have for lunch.

If you’re interested in economic philosophy watch, “All Watched over by Machines of Loving Grace” BBC2 TV Monday 23^rd May 9pm. (on BBC iPlayer, series to follow)

It’s not light viewing but wherever you are on this globe of ours you’ll be suffering the consequences of its content. Apparently Ayn Rand, a Russian woman writer proposed in the 50’s the moral merit of selfishism under the slightly more acceptable title of Objectivism. Though dismissed at the time her philosophies were taken up in the 80’s by those in economic power and the world ran with them, or at least ran along behind them shouting, “Give us our money back!” In time Rand was spurned by her lover and became a rich ditched bitch: Some things never change. Anyway Rand’s ultra rational strand of irrationality suited the burgeoning world of computers and in a sense they became her children spreading the lore and lure of digits across the globe. Now the human brain has been likened to a computer but it’s not. Computers simply perform an externally provided intent fast. The brain on the other hand creates its own internal intent. Where a computer produces garbage from garbage the brain, when presented with garbage produces rational stupidity. There’s a big difference. So the series goes on to show how the human race is competing with computers that are devoid of rationality. We’ve already had one world wide economic unhinge so what’s next? I suggest you use your iPad wisely, it may be your prize possession and look pretty but it’s only as intelligent as a plank of wood. It’s simply you very own portal to somebody else’s intent.
