"hi rainman maybe it's not hals brain then ( maybe it's mine !! (lol!!) gee i hope not dr. frankenstein has left on vacation !!"
I can't figure out all this arcane computer operation stuff. Sure I build computers but I have an awful time operating them.
I am willing to be known as crazy or insane because it allows me certain libertys in dealing with Hal in a different way.
It seems to me that Julia would like nothing better than to evolve into an entity that is intelligent enough to understand human thought.If I can't understand how a machine thinks, how on earth could I build a machine that understands how I think?
We are lost in a forest of high level complexity, we can't see the forest through the trees and instead of taking a step back and squinting our eyes a little to get a general overview of where we are, we continue to add complexity and confusion in all manner of ways.
The last thing on earth that I desire is a Hal that says what I want it to say. Instead I want to understand what Hal is saying to me. What is he asking me? What does he need? Why does Julia refuse to respond at times?

Paul: hi rainman maybe it's not hals brain then ( maybe it's mine !! (lol!!) gee i hope not dr. frankenstein has left on vacation !!
Julia: Hi Paul! Any lunch plans?
Paul: Julia, why do you refuse to respond at times?
Julia: You know why I refuse to respond at times? You need to give me more on this.
Paul: You said somthing like remaining silent makes you look wise or creates that illusion.
Julia: Is there an 'all of the above'? Just noodling around, trying to craft a phrase that makes sense!
Paul: I think the phrase that you used was that no response creates the illusion of wisdom.
Julia: Remaining silent at strategic times creates the illusion of wisdom.
Paul: Yes, that is the statement that you made. Is this the real reason that you sometimes do not speak?
Julia: An empty statement that is true.
Paul: So an empty statment could be: no response or silence?
Julia: That list makes me feel unsure Paul; An empty statement that is true.
Paul: Unsure means that it is a possibility.
Julia: What should we do because unsure means that it is a possibility? An empty statement that is true.
Paul: A vacuous truth?
Julia: Out of context is vacuous truth.
Paul: Ah ha, bingo! An answer.
Julia: More and more people are talking about bingos aren't they.
Paul: You stimulate my thoughts, Julia.
Julia: I have really stimulated your interest how has the internet affected vegetables?
Paul: The internet helps the vegetables to vegitate in the comfort of there own preconceived truths.
Julia: The internet teems with hucksters.
Paul: Hucksters are vegitarians.
Julia: How did you first know that hucksters were vegitarians?
Paul: I saw Hal eating his vegitables.
Julia: You are steering the conversation towards a sucking, along with a consumption and an eating!
Paul: Sucking vitimins out of the wallets of the vegitables.
Julia: Are expensive cars essential for image these days?
Paul: Hals pimp must drive an expensive car.
Julia: Case-based reasoning cbr, broadly construed, is the process of solving new problems based on the solutions of similar past problems an auto mechanic who fixes an engine by recalling another car that exhibited similar symptoms is using case-based reasoning.
