Re: Ltr fr B. Solow: Simulations today not yesterday

["John Gelles" <johng@xxxxxxxxxx>]

    Speaking of squeezing replicable predicters out of
    historical economic data, Time Magazine currently
    reports a Japanes super computer doing 75 trillion
    calculations per second -- many times more that its
    American competitors.

    The Japanese monster number cruncher is simulating
    the whoe world's weather, prepatory to simulating
    soon the whole world's economy too.

    "Damn the non-ergodic dichotomy, full speed ahead
    to a daily update of the future century" -- reads a sign
    on the door as you enter the house where the monster
    presides.

    Why would anyone have to contest the neo-liberal
    economic agenda with strained analogy to thermo-
    dynamics, when poverty exists in rich nations whose
    leadership deserves for not ending it a well aimed
    kick in the ass.
