This one took a really long time to come by, and maybe the idea in my head is faded. Or lets say I am not that enthusiastic to write about it anymore. I might be lazy as well.
Anyways, the general idea was this – ‘we use computers to make computers’.
This is a recurring theme all around us. Most import one is the life it self - the making of a conscious being from unconscious/inanimate things (as GEB book states it). And life is the ultimate goal of this bootstrapping process – that of a self-reflecting entity. Meaning we as humans can say I and address ourselves. On every step up in bootstrapping the entity goes to a higher level of abstraction and existence, challenging and defining new paradigms.
Go ahead and identify more such entities around you that follow this theme. You will be amazed at the variety of it.
