Re: [iwar] Digest Number 980

Hi Drew,

You would think that with spin flying everywhere on important issues, IWAR
would be a hot topic. Perhaps it is a war of attrition - we are being so
worn down by multi-directional spin, we lose the ability to recognize it.

I had always hoped (somehow) that the advent of global instantaneous
information (smile, you're on my web-cam-enabled cell phone) would lead to
some kind of "aggregating" technology (think eBay buyer-seller comments,
web-post-scoring, etc) and disambiguation-ware, providing a "most coherent
hypothesis" picture of the real world...

What modern search-engines do for "informational seeking", we need some
global "coherence-engines" for producing plausible hypotheses to
situational questions ...

Will sheer volume be on our side in this (eventual) scenario?

Perhaps the time is coming ...

Looks like Fred is still with us :)

Cheers! ____tony____
