logic

Nothing is impossible - or is it?

I tend to believe nothing is impossible.  Well, I say believe but it is more 'hope', really.  Richard H., colleague, friend and general loon, pointed out to me the other day that:

If nothing is impossible then
there is a finite possibility that something has a probability of 0, i.e. that something is impossible. 

Bother.  The fact that something can be impossible means that it is not true that nothing is impossible. 

Ben Goertzel on why you should vote...

In typical Ben style, he argues why you should vote. I feel compelled by the logic. I should find time to read more of Ben's stuff too - though last time I was reading it I did wonder quite why he was using my brain rather than his own. To be fair, I suspect it may be as well as his own as I think he is somewhat more brainy than me.
