You missed my point badly. I never said anything about what cancer is or is not.
Since you failed to understand what my main point was...again it was...
Garbage in-——>faster computer——>faster garbage out.
If faster computers were the anti-dote for intelligence of human beings, we should be able to predict weather better 2 days ahead, be able to predict where earthquakes will happen, predict who will get cancer based on DNA and genetics, predict that Hillary was going to lose in spite of the polls, and so on and so on.
Super fast computers have failed in all of the above.
Again, you are lumping "cancer" into a single thing. It's not.
If faster computers were the anti-dote for intelligence of human beings...
And your premise is incorrect. The faster, more powerful technology becomes, the stupider humanity gets because we don't have to think for ourselves. This is obviously a generalization, and I do not include any specific individual in that claim, but it sure seems observably true.
Super fast computers have failed in all of the above.
Given my last statement, this is not at all surprising as computers only do what the programmer tells tells them to do with the data that they have been provided. Since humanity is declining, our models/algorythms will also decline in quality.
I actually agree with 99% of what you are saying. I was just pointing out the one statement that was less than 100% accurate.
