The Global Superbrain is a megalomaniac IT fantasy. I try to get to the bottom of things. Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics as the bedrock of information technology. Epistemology underpins all our knowledge. There's too much of it, you have to have a basis for deciding what is relevant.
Purpose provides the key.
Everything in hyper-bites. I like to connect distant parts, e.g. to relate technology as means to ultimate human ends. I'm nowhere near that at present. I spend lots of time thinking about interesting problems, which mainly results in what seem like great results in my head, but rarely gets anywhere near paper. Some of the things I think about demand more than mere documentation.
