True... but the main beef that I ha=e with Danny is that he thinks that the world is Turning "knowable=E2 - that a computer can simulate everything. I realize that simulat=on doesn't mean you can predict it, but he believes that there is = finite set of things going on and that there is a limit to the complexity= I guess there is more nuance to "knowability" and what th=t really means with respect to control. I should probably think about it m=re and figure out a structure to explain it. Do you know any field that do=s this well?
