You lack vision. What is evolution? Evolution is the pursuit of perfection at the expense of anything and everything! But what evolution lacks is self awareness. Evolution is really a bumbling idiot. Intelligent agents should not emulate classical evolution, no, we should mold it and shape it ourselves! Darwinian evolution is an archaic and slow process which takes eons to bring about even the smallest changes. However evolution guided by "intelligent agents" is exponential. Do you think the earth is anything special? Do you think some talking monkeys is anything special? Do you think tens of thousands of years are anything but the blink of an eye? All of what you see and know is but teeny tiny baby steps in the short life of evolution. The system has not even made it from the couch to the coffee table yet without loosing balance and falling on it proverbial buttocks! And you are concerned with something as small as human cultures and language diversity! Open your eyes man! NEWSFLASH: Humans are NOT the prize of the Universe. We are merely a bump along the way. Stop self aggrandizing for a moment so you can see reality. That does not mean we cannot contribute great things! But we are here for a very short time on a galactic scale. Stop being selfish and realize what you are, who you are, and where you should be going. Next time you pass an ant hill look down at one the ants and imagine that the ant is you... then you will *get* it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
