I understand that someone has designed a software program that can produce brand new Bach-like sonatas. It apparently is so good that experts cannot tell the difference between the music it generates and the real stuff.
Wow. Is more Rimsky-Korsakov, more Shakespeare, more Hugo, in our future? More Pavarotti, more Callas, more Sinatra? More Michelangelo. more DaVinci, more Rembrandt? Can we really resurrect the great minds of the past?
That set me to thinking. What the world truly and desperately needs more of now is wisdom and ethical guidance and direction. Can we design a program to give us more Aristotle and Solomon and Socrates and Confucius and Muhammad...more Mahatma Gandhi, more Martin Luther King, more Thomas Jefferson...to hear what they would say about the problems of today, to help us get back on course?
And if it is true as believed by many that the Bible was written with Divine guidance, can we get more God-inspired Bible, more Scripture, more pedagogy, more enlightenment?
Can we harvest the past to feed our future?
Can we?
Wow!
