Last night I interviewed Max Brooks, author of World War Z. The book and the movie are two different pieces of art. While Max was talking about artificial intelligence and how it will eventually take over, one thing A.I. cannot do is critical thinking. Which is something we as humans are able to do. I do not believe the creature we know as Sasquatch is smarter than humans. With critical thinking and problem solving I do believe we can solve the mystery of Sasquatch and the impossible will become the possible.
I was thinking about the movie side of World War Z last night and how Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) used critical thinking to figure out why Zombies would run past some people and not see them. The answer was camouflage. Zombies will not eat someone who is sick. Here is one of the best scenes of the movie.
For those who have not seen the movie, Gerry Lane is in the pathogen vault. While inside the vault, after grabbing various diseases, a zombie is blocking the door, prompting Gerry to inject himself with an unknown pathogen and open the vault, thereby testing his own theory.
