I will now credit you with the derivation. Do a new term. - Dubes =AO Data usage based enthusiasts

- Text lines (verbatim, preserving unusual encodings):
  - "How about a challenge that says put a thing in a room and see =f can learn a language .?"
  - "Thinking abou= it. Keep realizing that I'm not [REDACTED PERSON], and linguistics isn -=;t 20th century math. The exciting problems I can think of are eithe= too far from current understanding, or too theory-internal for the genera= significance to be easily perceived."
  - "On Thursday, August 11, =016, [REDACTED PERSON] <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml'," followed by two blacked-out/redacted blocks and a fragment "w=o"

- Key entities / notes:
  - Main idea: propose a challenge — put an agent/object in a room to see if it can learn a language.
  - Reference to a famous mathematician ([REDACTED PERSON]) used as contrast to the author’s abilities.
  - Topic: linguistics vs. 20th-century mathematics; concern that promising problems are either too far from current understanding or too theory-internal to be widely appreciated.
  - Email/header metadata: mentions "Thursday, August 11, =016" (likely 2016) and contains a javascript-like mail link; portions are redacted with black boxes.

Thinking abou= it. Keep realizing that I'm not Hilbert, and linguistics isn -=;t 20th century math. The exciting problems I can think of are eithe= too far from current understanding, or too theory-internal for the genera= significance to be easily perceived.

Meanwhile, ran across a=nice definition of "power," thinking about an earlier letter tha= you may have forgotten. From Hans Morgenthau: Power in the internat=onal context is "that untamed and barbaric force which finds its laws=in nothing but its own strength and its sole justifi cation in its own a=grandizement."
