    You're not as smart as you think you are, and I suspect the people reacting here aren't quite as clueless as you suspect them to be.

    There's nothing particularly novel here, that hasn't already been long-since examined - from the Borges story that inspired it, to the writings of Lem who mirrored it, to the idea of the Infinite Monkey Theorum, which is so commonly-known, it's the title of a popular radio show.

    As I say, there's no mind blowing concept here that your average teenager high on Acid hasn't already lost themselves in.

    But hey, if prattling on as if you're the only holder of the key makes you feel better, knock yourself out.

    Works for Yurimon et al, so you're in good company?

    • I think why it is more interesting, is that someone has made it a reality.
      Taking it from the theoretical to the physical/practical.

    • I agree with Baskerville. It's interesting because it's more than an idea, it actually exists.
