You kids today, with your protests, and your encampments, and your opposition to a genocidal war, I am old enough to be your *great* grandparent, and I gotta tell you something that, in your naive and wild and feckless youth, you may not have yet heard:

I am so proud of you.

I love you, and I support your efforts to end this war, and I oppose in the strongest possible terms the deployment of armed thugs to prevent your peaceful protest.

Keep the faith.

The thing about engaging in the delicious pilpul of the intelligence conundrum -- oh I feel it, I feel it, I'm an AI dork from way back -- is that it is an excellent distraction from seeing the extractive capitalism that has made and continues to make our lives -- our *privileged* lives -- bereft of meaning.

Oh, oh, let's debate Turing & Searle & Hofstadter & Minsky! Let's be angry, let's be slow, let's be open, let's be, let's be, let's be . . .

let's be not seeing the forest for the trees.
