And there's this theory from this Aussie that suggests that our intent - our real intent - is expressed by hidden messages encoded backwards in our speech. It sounds like Mumbo Jumbo, but he's charismatic and seems to have attracted quite a few followers, and if you think about it it just might not be that far out....
Similar to Backmasking, only whereas in backmasking the record producers or artists deliberately encode messages backwards in records, Reverse speech suggest that these messages are encoded - backwards - by our subconscious.

This is quite interesting. An algorithm that "evolves" to discover the best "car" (2D graphic representation) for the terrain that it's driving upon.
What is interesting about this is less the program than the idea that we can somehow create software that evolves with the tastes of the times and the user. Solutions that anticipate problems and "evolve" to overcome them. Programs that can evolve strategies to solve problems in mathematics and physics, like the Big Bang Theory or String Theory, or how to calculate prime numbers...
