Science, Religion, Politics and in the pursuit of truth – HappyPsychotic

This led me to consider a more general problem (we are talking about a Touring solution here, not just a better chess engine after all) – what would AI software look like where a game was just one of the things a CPU wanted to learn/master/win? Again, this goes back to the motivation question – what is the motivation for winning? Why not choose not to play, or even choose to lose?

So, I went to a Naturopath and decided to get hormonal and neurotransmitter testing done. The results show that I am very low on Serotonin, and a little low on Dopamine, GABA, PEA and Cortisol (adrenaline). So my good doctor gave me some supplements to take to “fix” these imbalances. End of story, happy ending right? Obviously not…I can’t seem to make anything easy.

Anyways, this probably all sounds very boring to you, but what is amazing is that Andrew Wiles worked on this math proof for 7 years and did nothing else. He spent day and night working on this and nothing else. And in the video when he describes how he felt when he solved it…he says “It was the most important moment of his working life…(he tears up here)…nothing I ever do again will…(now he waves away the camera because he can’t continue speaking due to emotion)”.

Sometimes I get frustrated with people that don’t have the “big picture” intelligence like I do, but then sometimes I see that they are happier than I am, and I wonder if I would maybe like to give away my intelligence so I could be happier? (however disillusioned that happiness appears to be from here)

Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot. They amount to fourteen.
