Most of our history is the history of stupidity

It's kind of political.

Most of our history is the history of stupidity

...On Wednesday, the celebrated physicist was speaking at Cambridge University's new Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence.

...Hawking said that he was cheered by the notion that someone was going to study the future of intelligence.

He contrasted this by saying: "We spend a great deal of time studying history, which, let's face it, is mostly the history of stupidity."

It's an edifying truth.

As we look to the past, the tales keep coming: "And you'll never guess what asinine thing the rulers did next."

Despite all this looking back, we still make the same mistakes over and over again.

He went on to say some things about AI.

Shouldn't that be AS? Artificial Stupidity. I think it was von Neumann said you can't have truly intelligent machines unless they can make mistakes.

But first you have understand and recognized you've Failed in order to recognized and receive success.

Denial isn't just a River.
