You of all people, Stray, know how far computers have come within a single human lifetime. I'm surprised to hear you shoot that one down so out of hand.


oh my god, that is not even remotely comparable. Complex systems is my bag, it has been for many years. There is no way I would entertain the possibility that we could ever model such a diverse organic model as a human being to any level where we could succesfully apply to it the task.

I used to model complex systems for a living, and you would have never heard me say I'm 100% sure of any of them. Many of them are not even organic models, but economic ones. Exceptions will always, always occure. We're fallible, and NP-Impossible problems do exist ;), and we build the models, and we will never have a thorough understanding of many complex systems. The universe is, in fact, indeterministic.
