I have just finished reading a fairly vigorous set of criticisms of Dave Pollard’s blog Nobody but Yourself. Dave is reading Dawkins diatribe at the moment and his blog thus addresses religion along with other issues.

A rushed day last Thursday, between taking the cat to the Vet, completing a paper on modulators in complex systems and dashing up to London for a just-in time-arrival at the Royal Opera House for what turned out to be a mixed performance of Madama Butterfly: The lead soprano missing a note at the start […]

Now anyone involved in complexity knows about simulation, although too many confuse simulation with prediction as their linear predecessors confused, and confuse, correlation […]
I had intended to post this on Martin Luther King day, but entered the wrong bring forward date in the diary which all goes to show the danger of relying overmuch on computers. I could leave it for next year but then it might go missing again! So here it is. I had been doing […]
