Don't you find it odd that you are arguing with David Hume? He may be right, you know, and he (or at least, his namesake) discussed creativity in "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding". <quote> But though our thought seems to possess this unbounded liberty, we shall find, upon a nearer examination, that it is really confined within very narrow limits, and that all this creative power of the mind amounts to no more than the faculty of compounding, transposing, augmenting, or diminishing the materials afforded us by the senses and experience. </quote> > > Do you think there is something >> undesirable about being algorithm? > > No. > >> What are we? > > We can execute algorithms alright, but our > creativity part is not algorithm. > > Are we off topic for >> forth? > > Perhaps not ;) >> > > >
