Age is also the Dysinformation Age. What can we do? We need to rethink our priorities with the help of the passionate but flawed analyses of Wiener, Weizenbaum, and the other serious critics of our technophilia.

In 1965 the MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum found himself, somewhat unexpectedly, considering this same problem. 175 Weizenbaum had written a primitive computer program to perform what is now known as natural language processing, essentially a bit of code designed to translate

Life, after all, is not a series of linear math problems. (Much as we might
