The only appreciation my father ever voiced for The Catcher in the Rye, was Holden's protection for his sister. He said he liked how Holden turned every "fuck you" he saw written on walls into "Book you". This never happened in Salinger's novel, instead Holden smudged the writing from the wall.
I finished A Catcher in the Rye for the seventh time. This book never fails to uplift me (well, maybe no thte first couple times around). Such artistic expression, such style and grace, what a message... "Be true to yourself." It really is too bad that almost nobody is authentic. When we first start lying to ourselves, it seems so innocent and harmless, but before we know it our lies become our lives and that lack of honesty no longer takes the form of a defense mechanism but rather a code of conduct. Live the lie and do everything you can to ensure that others don't recognize you for what you are-- an absolute fraud. Some people lie to themselves about their career, others about their sex lives, family values, moral ground or any other faculty they may lack. If they only knew how carefree an honest life can be...
Unfortunately I never will either...
You attract more flies with shit than you do with piss
Learning networks... You feed them conditions and they supply outcomes. Some results are acceptable others are not. After a sufficient amouth of samples, each fed through the network, reverse propagation occurs to adjust the weights of the nodes based upon the acceptable results. The pattern of wieghts forms a model of the concept being represented and measured by the sample. This model could be the guide for reproducing a similar concept (similar to the sample). Could this be used to create an algorithm for perpetual originality? This could be used to find order amongst seeming chaos. You could use the learning networks to test if an algorithm produces perpetual originality. Have the algorithm produce a sample of output, run the sample through a learning network and the network shouldn't be able to find a trend since all the items in the sample are unique.
Non Deterministic Polynomial. Any abstract algorithm that yields an absolute result would be a theory of everything, a schematic of god's mind, the blueprints of perpetual motion, the solution to all the world's problems, a weapon to destroy the universe and the secret to life.
