PRODUCING/PRESENTING A DRAMA/PLAY ADAPTATION OF CAMUS'S THE STRANGER IS INDEED A CHALLENGING TASK FOR PLAYWRIGHTS & DIRECTORS & SHOULD BE A GOOD PROJECT FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THOUGH EXISTENTIALISM IS BAD PHILO FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. I WOULDN' TEACH OR INTRODUCE IT TO YOUNG MINDS FOR THEY MIGHT LOSE THEIR ZEST FOR LIFE. IT IS EASIER TO MISunderstand IT...

COMPUTER CHESS CONSPIRACY THEORY
An interview with aDEEP BLUE team member
Campbell: Not everybody plays but everybody knows that chess is a very difficult game -- you can devote your whole life to playing chess and still have room for improvement. So it's understood that chess is a game which requires intelligence and so for a machine to play at the level of the world champion is a sign that computers have progressed further than maybe some people had thought they had. In one sense, it's just one milestone among many along the way, but it's one that the general public could understand more easily.

WN: Some conspiracies emerged that say the computer was being controlled by human grand masters behind the scenes. Your response?

Campbell: In my mind, they're ridiculous. One of the things about conspiracy theories is that, really, you should present some evidence rather than just make a theory up. In the 10 years since the match, I have yet to see any evidence of cheating.
COMMENT: SOME CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE ACTUALLY "RUMORS OR MERE SUPPOSITIONS" PASSING OFF AS CONSTHEO. THE LEGITIMATE CONSTHEORISTS SHOULD HAVE STRONG GROUNDING IN SCIENCE & PHILOSOPHY & CAN IDENTIFY PSEUDO-SCIENCE OR WEAK HYPOTHESES...
CHESS COMPUTERS ARE SO STRONG IT MUST NOW BE ADMITTED THAT MACHINES CAN NOW BEAT HUMANS IN THE "THINKING GAME". IN THIS SENSE CHESS IS PRACTICALLY A "SOLVED" GAME. (YET THERE ARE HOT DEBATES BY EXPERTS ON ISSUES REGARDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) PARTICULAERLY COMPUTER CHESS (JUST SEARCH ON "P-NP PROBLEM" & BLOGS ON COMPUTER CHESS)
