Hi Patrick,
The picture is excellent, and what you say about the 'fighting spirit' of the robot is excellent!!! I'm amazed in the way you manage to read/create a mythology of cybernetics that creates meaning in life. My favourite movie has always been "2001: A space odyssey", that I read as a kind of mythology/history of how spiritual machines evolve.
I feel extremely fortunate to be on this list. Fantastic. Thank you very much!!!

Hi John,
The picture is taken from a clip-art site I located on Google (or was
it Yahoo!?...), well anyway, I did some searching for a motif that
could symbolize cybernetics as they have been discovered and promoted
in the past. Note the 'fighting spirit' of the robot. Robotics has
always been an interesting subject and I thought that it suited the
group when I created it, so I used it as to represent cybernetics
looking not just back to its roots, but also forward, as we develop
the field of machine intelligence (as the natural successor of
artificial intelligence), which again, has its roots in cybernetics.
I'm glad that you like it.
