Why?

A whole lot of people disliked President Obama ... for his apology tour, for his fake war against ISIS and the Taliban, for his stoking of our racial division, for his kowtowing to China and Russia, for his crony capitalism, for his pissing on Israel, for his funding Iran’s terrorism and nuclear ambitions, for his spending a trillion dollars on non “shovel-ready jobs,” for his attempt to kill our fossil-fuel industry, for his hollowing out of our military, for his attempt to take down his duly-elected successor, for his increasing our medical costs while reducing its quality, for his over regulation, for his multiple disruptions to our social norms, for his lackluster economic policies and for his general inatentiveness to his country’s progress.

Yet, we never ratched up our animus to anywhere near the white-hot hatred which has been directed toward the Orangeman by the left and the media (but I repeat myself) ... so, the question insists itself ... why?

Can you, kind readers, who find yourselves among the never-Trumpers, come up with a list of policy miscues for Trump that is anywhere near those posted above?

Again,, why the disparate hatred?


STAND UP FOR A MERICA!

Neural Networks

Your humble poster here once headed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software project. One of my best programmers quit because of his frustration over complex nested conditionals (neural networks). The ultimate success of AI will depend on the ability to identify nodes in such networks as well as being able to deal with the almost infinite levels of conditional complexities.

It seems to this author that one of Trump’s great strengths as a policy maker is his ability to include in our country’s decision-making process an uncanny knack to identify previously ignored nodes in our neural network — unfair trade alliances, over regulation, Russian pipeline into Germany, NATO slackers, open borders, steel and aluminum being strategic US native industries, etc.

The jury is somewhat out on Trump’s ability to navigate these new expanded decision trees ... but he is still way, way ahead of our last four presidents.

Back to the subject at hand. Yes, quantum computers may someday be able to handle the huge number of complex conditionals involved in true AI. But, if a butterfly flapping it wings in Japan can cause a tornado in Alabama, I still have some doubts about the logistics of the data amassing project needed to account for all possible inputs into such an ultimate AI breakthrough.

How about it Elon?
