The problem of artificial intelligence with philosophical reasoning
is that the questions and answers of philosopy aren’t particularly such that may be
encapsulated readily in digital coding. There are infinities of a
non-mathematical sort, especially as one considers that western philosophers
since the pre-Socratics all may inform a contemporary philosophical opinion
simultaneously and to varying degrees and so forth. An artificial intelligence
that wants overly simple answers may be as daft as Republicans designing a tax
bill to enrich plutocrats and avoid the well-being of the majority of Americans.
Greed and shallow thought are obviously popular in politics
and business today solidly reinforced with Darwinian ideas rather vaguely
concerning evolution, Spenserianism and the tyranny of the fittest for tyranny.
Assertive, exhibitionist narcissism of the sort that makes its way into
Congress is not the most intellectual approach to governance, nor necessary. It
is likely that better people seeking after the well-being of the nation are
pushed aside by the people that actually make their way into public office and
that is why the U.S. Government of the past 30 years (after R.R.) has been such
a crock.
