Are you claiming that smart people aren't already working on solving these problems? Or that they're using something other than "science and evidence and smart people and big computers"?
Do you not think you might be an asshole for implying that, because these problems aren't already solved, no one is working on them? Or that anyone working on them isn't smart?
Maybe these problems are HARD! [They, in fact, are. Witness all of human history.]
- DanBC 13y agoShow me the microsoft or google or apple research into these kinds of problems. Google scholar counts, I guess.
