You are quibbling on values not on the logic yet committing such errors yourself. Compare your statement to defend mobility:
Don't like it somewhere? You can easily go somewhere else
and your statement to claim that homogeneity is a good:
consolidation of cultural values would be a positive thing for a country's societal health
Those two values contradict. Diversity permits you to escape from localised cultural norms that you dislike. Walking for a week versus driving in a day would not affect the freedom to travel. There are very good reasons for fearing homogeniety including boredom, groupthink and vulnerability to noxious ideologies.

Emergence
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I found the following to be surprising and useful background for the glut of writing about complexity/emergence/universality etc. Lots of historical detail from J. S. Mill onwards about the use of emergence in philosophy. Good bibliography too of which I can recommend the Kaufman books as good fun:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/properties-emerg ent/
So it can learn from what sort of things you have asked to observe in the past and have future unrequested data flagged as interesting? Very difficult for it to actually produce useful results. Ground based crunching of a vast data glut from a large constellation of inexpensive dumb sats with lots of redundancy would seem more appropriate with ground based commanding and intra constellation communication to handle sats that are out of contact (interesting orbits are not geosynch)
Its an interesting challenge to be responsive to variable priority planning requests from multiple clients some of whom can request 'in theatre' with mobile transmitters not just at permanent ground-stations. Really hard computational problem with strict time constraints and lots of factors such as power-up times, manauover times etc.
I had a nice idea of auctioning satellite time so that you have to pay more to bump requests. Disruption to a schedule by a new request would be factored into the cost of accepting the request but the various clients would be put into financial competion to outbid for service. Use the market to schedule.

You simply cannot do clean room engineering with small furry animals dangling from your chops. Find beagle, find chin whiskers poking out of sensitive equipment.
I'm reading this at the moment. I'm a bit of junky for universality and complexity.
Most of these books are journalistic endeavours indulging in overcooked analogies. They all drivel on - its like revelationary religious evangelism as each book includes the phrase "and suddenly I looked at X understanding its full Y for the first time" - be it chaos, complexity, self-organisation, wolfram, barabasi...
Curious that these books including the damn Wolfram tome typically just rephrase computer science. It should have been called information science and then peeps might realise that its fundamental.
Read 'em by all means but keep your scepticism until they actually say something useful. Zu
What crazy westerner decided that everyone prefers the typical banana?
I happily munched wild bananas while trekking in Northern Thailand and goddam they're like a different fruit. Unimaginably sweet, fragrant...amazing - like nectar. Not the bland lumps sold in UK supermarkets.
They are small (offending western male self-perception) and probably don't travel well so thank-you evil corporations for 'deciding' that we prefer this genetically weak alternative so they can make a buck.
I hope they DO die out and we 'stuck' with REAL bananas.
