For the past 5+ years
SOMETHING ENTIRELY UNPRECEDENTED IN HUMAN HISTORY ...
not just one prince Alexander (who studied under Aristotle), but a rather sizable CHUNK of the population ... has had a library that goes WAY BEYOND ARISTOTLE ... at their fingertips!
And Moore^ and Faster^'s the law around here.
Shouldn't it ... matter?
You don't have to be a Singularitist to say that if the Academy matters, this is ... ACTUALLY RATHER SIGNIFICANT...
and 1.65b oxen agree the u-2b kids r alright.
no, Knowledge is NOT enough, but ...
if Alexander was able to synthesize Aristotle and his other teachers' teachings and do significant things, these days some of the geek kids should be uniting with some of the soldiers and coming up with nicer things of comparable significance. and some can splunite better now
