At Age 6, the Brightest Minds understand Recursion
- onan_barbarian 16y agoThis is a simple and elegant discussion, marred only by the fact that it is utter gibberish. How does this have anything to do with recursion? It's like you just learned about recursion last week and think it's so unspeakably cool that everything possible should be described in terms of recursion, no matter how unrelated. Bonus points for the tone of geek self-admiration ('those who understand recursion are awesome and bound to succeed'). There are psychological experiments out there in the world that have a vaguely recursive nature - repeated Prisoner's Dilemma comes to mind... but a one-off delayed gratification experiment ain't it.
