One day, others may try to convince you they have forgiven you. That is more about them than you.
Am I done searching out the proper foundation for the Inferential Engine? Nothing imperfect would do - while any complete language can express any thought, they differ wildly in efficiency. Alice and Bob say one word, but that word takes twenty (or two hundred) to properly translate. My kingdom for an Oracle. Kolmogorov proved Asymptotic equivalence, and Turing proved its worthlessness. Back to the beginning: to know it for the first time.
"I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe."
Why did we not make money in Amway? Some people did. Were they smarter? More deserving than us? Did they work harder? Did we lack commitment and enthusiasm? Were we afraid of success? It is for chickens to laugh at. Why did I ever fall for the line? "20% of the people do 80% of the work." If I was stupid then, I am stupid now. But I am catching up. When you do a perfect job and yet still fail, it is not you who failed.
"you knew it was wrong. A voice you did not recognize screamed for you to stop. You saw no way out. It was the way things were. They could not be changed. You tried to convince yourself the people you were hurting deserved it. You became numb to their pain and suffering. You learned to shut out the voice speaking against it."
Turing Machines are an improper foundation, impractical for application. Conway Life boards are, too. Nand networks just might be unbeatable. I had to abandon this line of research when I secured a promise of renewed funding. Back in the prediction-for-profit game! Some day I will return to Artificial Intelligence.
"When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and, in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury."
I will return. Make the computer learn. Gradient descent backpropagation on a digital logic circuit.
What was true about Amway is true in some other places.
