I'm writing a paper on Artificial Intelligence. Basically my premise is this:

Computers are never random (at least as they exist now) - random number generators work off of random seeds, so if you know the seed that was put in then you can predict perfectly what the computer will do; also, with that seed, it will do the same thing every time.

My question is this: do humans work the same way? Does Human Randomness exist, or is our reaction to any stimulus predetermined? Basically, if you were carbon-copied into an identical situation with your identical life story in a different universe, would you behave identically the same? From your opinions on the world and reaction to world events all the way down to what typos you make and when you yawn?

Obviously this cannot be tested since it's impossible to recreate the same circumstances you've been in before since you learned from the first one. But I'm talking in theory.

I think human randomness exists; but I'm open to opinions.

Karl Marx predicted the proletariat would eventually overthrow the bourgeoisie in a violent revolution. Why does Marx's analysis and prediction of class conflict, based on Marx's observations of mid-nineteenth century England and Europe, not apply to Western, industrialized socieites today?

Someone posed this question to me, and I thought it was interesting. My position is that the engine and transmission are vital parts that make a car functional, and therefore it can't be considered an automobile if it can't move on its own. My opponents position is that it can still be considered an automobile if it has the potential to function on its own, once all the parts are included. What do you think?

These people ask for help, I try to give it but you won't let me? Why not let them make their own decisions whats spam and abuse? You are like governments. You people apparently know what is best for everyone. I spend at least two hours everyday trying to help others here. barwaynerus@yahoo.com
I will no longer try to help in Yahoo questions and answers and I have helped many. Not worth fighting the know it alls.
Good bye and good luck everyone.

According to the Blood Quantum Laws as well as the Eastern Cherokee Bands rules, I would have to be 1/32 Native American to register. I am, but I searched the Dawes, Guion, Banker, and a few other rolls and wasn't able to find my ancestor's name, which is another requirement.
Their names were John Napoleon Hawkins and his daughter Nora Hawkins Lord, if that helps anyone's answer.
Is there an alternative way to prove ancestry? Would it on my great grandmother's birth certificate?

People seem to be obsessed with giving and finding easy answers to questions about Life, The universe and everything, but do these answers actually provide anything of value? Isn't it more useful to look at the challenging answers and see what they can add to (or take away from) your world-view?
