First it was the Large Hadron Collider that was supposed to bring about the end of the world.
Then, it was the Economic Collapse which would have us leaping from our Ivory Tower windows.
Now, as foretold 5 years ago, live from Mexico, providing help and advice with a certain sanguine droll-ness, it must be the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse (he who pummelled the other four into Moderated submission.
Is it a sign of a life well lived? An ISP well paid? A keyboard well used? An automated automaton of facts figures and autodidaction? Or a liberated result of the modern age, communication skills transmuted to electrons and photonic ephemera?
You, the user, may decide.
Congratulations nonetheless! And thanks.

Yeah, this forum wouldn't be as good as it is if Lowlander hadn't been around!
Great work and keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words. I just hope that some of those posts were useful for others.

I'll go for the automated automaton... (See here).Kilmatead wrote:Is it a sign of a life well lived? An ISP well paid? A keyboard well used? An automated automaton of facts figures and autodidaction?

I'm not sure if (logically speaking) one of my own jocund posited punditries can be used as recursive proof of my own above postulation. That might imply solipsistic intent.
Reductio ad absurdum.
To seek the negative I suppose would require just one evidence of imaginative thinking: The Automaton would, in effect, be a clever AI-oriented version of the help manual.
One assumes Lowlander aspires to being more than a living breathing PDF.
Any examples of élan, spirited presumption, or even irrational ranting in his oeuvre come to mind? An automaton would most likely not exhibit such behaviour.
Unless he was really really clever.
Or is that presumed guilt before innocence? Indeed, as the world (as we presume) we know it crumbles around our economic civilities, we'd do well to re-familiarize ourselves with medieval reasoning practices again.
[And by the way, Eyal, it's nice to see someone remembered the original joke behind this thread. I reckon it would have been crass of me to mention it myself. Thanks!)
