Wow, Blogger has been posting so slowly lately. I don't know what their problem is, but that's the main reason I haven't posted in the last couple of days.

Here's an interesting article about Stephen Wolfram, some sort of bona fide genius. It's science, but it's Forbes, so you can understand it (via PWA BadBoy on MeFi). It's about a theory of the organization of life called cellular automata. The basic idea seems to be that you can begin with simple structures and simple rules that can grow into great, complex structures. Wolfram claims to reinvent everything, including reducing the role of natural selection in evolution.
