Summary
This book goes right into the the causes and reasons of the diversity of ways of thinking。 It is about the tricks of how our thinking works and about the efforts and failures of artificial intelligence。 It discusses what can and cannot be expected of `intelligent' computers， and provides an insight into the deeper layers of the mechanism of our thinking。-An enjoyable piece of reading， this thought-provoking book is also an exciting mental adventure for those with little or no computer competence at all。

I was reading slowly very slowly， mostly because of the family time。The biggest learning was that we need to keep to study a domain for about 10 years minimum to achieve the level of a grandmaster， then our way of thinking becomes intuitional again， we express ourselves using analogies。。。 :）The second learning was that even formal logic is not capable of derive everything。 So we need to use other paradigm。 Or maybe other ways of thinking than the rational one like holistic way of thinking or mis I was reading slowly very slowly， mostly because of the family time。The biggest learning was that we need to keep to study a domain for about 10 years minimum to achieve the level of a grandmaster， then our way of thinking becomes intuitional again， we express ourselves using analogies。。。 :）The second learning was that even formal logic is not capable of derive everything。 So we need to use other paradigm。 Or maybe other ways of thinking than the rational one like holistic way of thinking or misticism。。。I wish I would have read this book about 10 years ago。。。 。。。more

High level framework for conceptualizing different modes of thinking， useful in and of itself if you're locked into only appreciating logical/rational intelligence。 It goes further by considering the implications of the theory to the development （and limitations） of artificial intelligence at the time。 Will need to come back to it after brushing up bit on current AI developments to see how much or how little of the ideas in here have been put into practice。 The basic trick seem to be the ability High level framework for conceptualizing different modes of thinking， useful in and of itself if you're locked into only appreciating logical/rational intelligence。 It goes further by considering the implications of the theory to the development （and limitations） of artificial intelligence at the time。 Will need to come back to it after brushing up bit on current AI developments to see how much or how little of the ideas in here have been put into practice。 The basic trick seem to be the ability to abstract/group lower level concepts into higher order concepts， and navigate tangled hierarchies/flip frames。 。。。more

Quite possibly the most thought-provoking book I've ever read。 This is one that will be revisited many times throughout my life。 Quite possibly the most thought-provoking book I've ever read。 This is one that will be revisited many times throughout my life。 。。。more
