In defense of Marvin Minsky. Imagine you're an old and dying scientist. You've got countless published papers, but being a nerd you never had any success with girls. A life of frustration. Girls don't give a shit about perceptrons. Even the cunning fake scientist Mentifex got laid way more often than you did. Until one day, a stunningly beautiful young student offers to suck you're are dick. She looks like a cute little angel. Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip?
