I wish to understand why the world looks like it does, especially phenomena that stays with us over time, e.g. democracy, capitalism, patience, etc. We can understand why some phenomena come and go and why some stay with us by understanding stable distributions, fixed-points, the Nash equilibrium and eigenfunctions. Right now I'm studying machine learning to understand the differences in capability between human and machine, and with the goal to close the gap and conclude that no magic sauce is nessecary for HLI. Considering the progress so far (image recognition, text summarization, game playing, thought construction, grammar, etc.) I believe this is more likely than not.
