Big Physics is a luxury that the human race can
no longer afford. It would be far better to
reallocate the enormous funds being squandered
and wasted on nuclear physics and create
artificial intelligence on supercomputers --
another spendy resource that should be taken
away from the Dr. Strangeloves of this world
and be directed towards what really matters --
the coming Technological Singularity.

Well, but supercomputers are also why the
people understand transistors, invented
emulators, rather than clocks.

They're why the people who understand economics
invented holographic memory and on-line publishing, rather than
COBAL.

They're why the people who understand engineeing
invented USB, Atomic Clock Wristwatches, XML, and GPS, rather than
GE.

They're why the people who understand CRTs invented
Blue Ray and Self-Replicating Machines, rather than AMA.

They're why the people who understand software, invented
home broadband, cyber batteries, optical computers, and self-
assembling robots,
rather than Chaos Theory

They're why the people who understand Firmware invented Cell Phones
and All-In-One Printers,
rather than Firmware.

They're why the people undersand FTP, invented CD+rw, rather than
FTP.

They're why the people who understand the navy, invented UAVs and
Rapid Prototyping,
rather than the navy.

What California needs is a dozen more Nazis and 20 million fewer
Blacks and Browns. NASA, too.
