What’s been going on in this column? I have tried to make it a relatively ruthless criticism of everything existing, specifically in our culture. I have tried to get you thinking about how unsexy T-Pain is, how frats are undemocratic and why drinking underage is way better than drinking legally. Quite often, then, oppression, repression and resistance. So it is only fair, if I have ruthlessly critiqued things like my community’s sometimes blind support for Israeli policies, that the column now ruthlessly critique itself.

If I have gone so far as to deconstruct, then this column will now deconstruct itself.

Really, Marvin Gaye’s refrain “what’s going on,” might have been a better title.

In 1687 Sir Isaac Newton made a pretty compelling case for gravity — but it never hurts to get a second opinion.

Two weeks ago Cornell’s Prof. Hod Lipson, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Michael Schmidt grad did just that when they unveiled a supercomputer that discovered Newton’s natural laws on its own.

The computer’s algorithm is so sophisticated that it can literally teach itself some of the most influential principles in the history of science without any prior knowledge of them.

Now, it is no secret that newspapers and other print media have been waging what seems to be a losing war against technology (mostly against free, internet-based media), and so I can’t help but wonder: How long will it be before Lipson invents an algorithm for writing columns?
