You're giving me too much credit. :-) I really was advocating something
like Arthur Koestler suggested in "Ghost in the Machine" -- evolution
does not always progress forward. Sometimes it takes a few steps
backward and then takes a giant leap forward.
I'm advocating something probably more radical than you comprehend.
I was suggesting ditching all known computer designs and solving every
solved problem again, because I think as a species we need to. There
are some awfully muddle-headed design problems in Computer Science today
(the terribly slow speed of memory WRT processor speed) which have us
doing a strange kabuke dance. Chuck the baby out with the bathwater I
say.
