There was a proposal made to research AI at Dartmouth College in 1955 which stated: The study is to proceed on the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. (McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester & Shannon, 1955, p. 13) This idea of AI is the…

Reality and truth is unknown due to the fact that there’s no symbol, nor worldview that can define what anything is. Modernism is a movement that explored unbounded possibilities.

Tan is a well-known writer, and does a lot of public speaking. We can trust her…

Ayala noted that the way Darwin described his work to the public and what he actually did was contradictory. There seems to be two reasons as to why he could have done this. First, past definitions of hypotheses were meant for philosophical observations without any basis upon empirical evidence. Secondly, Darwin wanted to avoid the bias associated with empirical claims; that hypotheses were created as an aftermath of obtaining empirical evidence. Both Francis Bacon and John Stuart Mill were…
