   Hi,   
      
   I am doing the wake-up call until everybody   
   gets ear-bleeding. It just too cringe to   
   see the symbolics computing morons struggle   
      
   with connectionism. But given that humans   
   have a brain with neurons, it should be obvious   
   that symbolism and connections are just two   
      
   sides of the same coin.   
      
   Good Luck!   
      
   Bye
