for culture, it’s to the devious and unavoidable problem of global order I want to turn now. In a now-famous 1986 speech “You and Your Research”, the Bell Labs scientist Richard Hamming set three questions for anyone embarked on the exploration of new ideas: “1. What are the most important problems in your f

ons of a human mind,” Hillis wrote at the start of his PhD thesis a few years later. “A thinking machine.”188 What Hillis and others like his mentor Marvin Minsky, realized was that the human brain works differently than machine logic. Life, after all, is not a series of linear math problems. (Much as we might
