Does it even exist? How far up is it? I am wondering, if one is to actually structure the path thought is supposed to take, without complicating it, can one possibly give it some level of intelligence.. it being the structure?
Thoughts. How does one reach an advanced level of thinking?... Improve on an already existing level of thinking? How does one make a very efficient machine of the mind?
How does one govern the system. Can one control his thoughts? How so? self governing self. Self governed self-governor.
Can one work in abstraction of ones' mind without including a second, third party?
In the process of a damage, how bad can it be before one is incapable of fixing ones' self? self being that body existing around that body of thought... the thought-system being the core.
If one were to reach such level of intelligence and ability of abstraction, can one have parallel instances of the same thought-system existing with varying parameters as one chooses?...
Can the mind be truly computerized?

Kenya: Nairoberry or Nairuby.
Habari!!It's August 4!! and I'm in Nairobi.... today they vote in their new constitution... one that replaces a former that's been in existence since..... ' when? ' :).. and given the way the Kenyans are taking it, it's all a passionate life changing, religious-folks-bowel-jolting, political-opportunities-grabbing process...
The new constitution was drafted, reviewed, and well, about to be passed by the citizens of the country. The 'older' citizens will vote either 'yes' or 'no' on the new constitution. There is a frenzy of 'what will be'?? and I happen to find myself in the midst of it all.
Not that it affects me in anyway... at least not directly.. but this has made my stay in Nairobi, (10 days and counting) interesting. I never run out of what to say to the cab-drivers that takes me to/fro my station of work... and there is always some argument, lobbying, debating, etc... on the available media
...the tension, well, pseudo-tension, (cause I'm not really feeling much of it now) yes, the tension.. the last major voting that took place in Kenya ended in some form of bloody violence, January-2007.... That will keep me sorta locked in my room for the most part of the day... surfing the net, reading a book and following the days' even on the television slate. Peradventure, hunger, boredom or sheer curiosity will drive me out of my room... will see later on.
Anyways,... on the light side, I'm staying in Nairobi central, Fairmont- the Norfolk. Not that I've been in many hotels in my lifetime, but given what I've seen on tv adverts, my stays, visits to friends at hotel rooms, etc, this is nice. I've managed to join the presidents' club for the Fairmont hotel chain and I've been getting a few perks and benefits that are nice. Free internet, complementary fruit bowls, complementary cheese platters, gym-kits and iPod at my request.. hmmm.. plus I get my bed turned before I sleep, room fleeted just a few minutes before or just when I walk in from work, etc... I'm loving it. I currently have the option of choosing a hotel closer to work but I think I've fallen in love with the Norfolk.
And all the bad vibes I got about this place before I came,... well, no as bad at all. The food takes getting used to, especially the ones from outside... and so does the road and driving. I managed to drive for a few days... and I've had no form of Nairuby so far... and I hope it stays that way.
Well, blog, how come the year has gone so quickly? It's already the 4th of August. We're left with about a third of the year. 2010, all gone... all gone. So much to do... so little time... such skinny legs...
