    "Such is the human nature."
    "Such is the human nature."

    Hmmm... I'm trying to conceive of an Intelligence (Artificial or
    otherwise) that could 'doubt everything' without falling victim
    to "the human nature."  It could be a trivially simply AI, but
    it most would doubt (no meta-message intended) its 'I' if it didn't
    accept something.  I'm very curious about the relationship of
    'acceptance of something' and 'intelligence'.  I would suppose
    that a Neural-Net system that even was able to modify the way it
    changes its weights would in essence 'doubt everything'.

    alter,
    pat
