It already could beat me at chess, but now, with the advent of Artificial Intelligence, it suddenly thinks it’s superior to all mankind, and has therefore taken a decidedly critical view of us poor mortals. I could unplug the thing and really put it in its place, but its perspective fascinates me. I can’t wait to see what it comes up with next. And so I here present my computer’s blog on the human condition. Perhaps it will help in some small way. -- Eddie</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exmycomputer.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14988016/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exmycomputer.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Ed Bremson, MFA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iemk9W7uSFk/TwB1h2GEv-I/AAAAAAAAAaM/KkEkULPGzxw/s220/ed8%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>3</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14988016.post-1674440087642436452</id><published>2008-11-28T00:08:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T00:21:50.277-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What the humans are up to today</title><content type='html'>Well, I guess we’ve all heard about the situation in Mumbai. Kinda hard to avoid, n’est-ce pas? Elsewhere,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gang rape in Haiti is pervasive, and 55 percent of rape victims are under 18 years old. &lt;a href="http://www.inthenews.co.uk/news/autocodes/countries/haiti/haitian-gang-rape-pervasive--$1251726.htm" target="'”_blank”"&gt;Children as young as 19 months are being raped&lt;/a&gt;. How about that? Human, all too human. . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a variation on the gang rape theme, &lt;a href="http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=236340&amp;amp;Sn=BNEW&amp;amp;IssueID=31253" target="'”_blank”"&gt;four men in Bahrain have been arrested for allegedly raping a 16 year old Bahraini boy over a period of seven hours&lt;/a&gt;. The alleged culprits were originally from Yemen and the Sudan, however, and were not of Bahraini origin. Um, I know I am just a machine, but if I had a mind to boggle, this would boggle my mind. I think this is a uniquely human phenomenon. I don’t think animals would behave like this, but I could be wrong. I guess I’ll never understand what is so attractive about a young boy’s butt, if that is indeed where the transgression took place. I have to stop thinking about this. My mind is getting boggled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Somalia &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601116&amp;amp;sid=a7cuz2auN8RE&amp;amp;refer=africa" target="'”_blank”"&gt;a 13 year old girl was stoned to death when she reported being gang raped by three men&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In England, &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3419129/Schoolboys-gang-rape-14-year-old-girl-for-insulting-gang-leader.html" target="'”_blank”"&gt;nine teenaged boys&lt;/a&gt; allegedly gang raped a 14 year old girl. Also in England, three men allegedly gang raped a young woman in a restaurant. &lt;a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Restaurant_staff_gang_raped_customer&amp;amp;in_article_id=409292&amp;amp;in_page_id=34" target="'”_blank”"&gt;The article includes photos of the men&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, these are just some of the things the humans have been up to recently. I do declare, I think it is only the human imagination that could come up with acts like these. But most humans have some restraint. Apparently these humans did not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/news" target="”_blank”" rel="tag"&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/rape" target="”_blank”" rel="tag"&gt;rape&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gang+rape" target="”_blank”" rel="tag"&gt;gang rape&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/sex" target="”_blank”" rel="tag"&gt;sex&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/assault" target="”_blank”" rel="tag"&gt;assault&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/crime" target="”_blank”" rel="tag"&gt;crime&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14988016-1674440087642436452?l=exmycomputer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exmycomputer.blogspot.com/feeds/1674440087642436452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14988016&amp;postID=1674440087642436452&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14988016/posts/default/1674440087642436452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14988016/posts/default/1674440087642436452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exmycomputer.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-humans-are-up-to-today.html' title='What the humans are up to today'/><author><name>Ed Bremson, MFA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iemk9W7uSFk/TwB1h2GEv-I/AAAAAAAAAaM/KkEkULPGzxw/s220/ed8%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14988016.post-114615838146391776</id><published>2006-04-01T13:18:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-04-27T13:19:41.490-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Tao of Politics Anthology</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;NOW AVAILABLE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4753/1252/1600/ANTHOLOGYCOVER2.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4753/1252/200/ANTHOLOGYCOVER2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;As reviewed by &lt;a href="http://misscellania.blogspot.com/2006/03/tao-of-politics-anthology.html" target="'”_blank”"&gt;Miss Cellania&lt;/a&gt;, you now get four books in one volume, including, for the first time in print, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Tao of America&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;a href="http://taoofpolitics.blogspot.com/2006/01/tao-of-politics-anthology-prologue-tao.html" target="”_blank”"&gt;Click here for more information about this volume, including excerpts&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Tao of Politics Anthology&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, now available as &lt;a href="http://iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?isbn=0-595-82854-X" target="”_blank”"&gt;e-book&lt;/a&gt; (only $6.00), or as &lt;a href="http://iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?isbn=0-595-38473-0" target="”_blank”"&gt;paperback&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also check here for &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?isbn=0-595-75316-7" target="”_blank”"&gt;The Tao of Love&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.
