In this first of two installments defining eudaemonia we will attempt the impossible, circumnavigating the sphere of "the good."

In my take on the classic fable of the Boy who Cried “Wolf” a young boy thinks he sees a menacing wolf and cries out to the townspeople, “Wolf!” The townspeople come to examine the danger and find no wolf, they presume he is mistaken. Soon thereafter the boy, sensing another menacing wolf, cries out again, “Wolf!” The townspeople again investigate and again find nothing, perhaps now they think the boy is doing it for attention. This continues on a few more times until finally, the townspeople no longer respond to the boy's cry of “Wolf,” because they believe they will again find out it is a false alarm.(They no longer even care why the boy is doing it, they no longer give it any thought at all.) One day a real wolf comes along and the boy cries “Wolf!” to no avail.

Part One?

Just for giggles one day I went over to Cleverbot.com to have a little chat with what is proportedly the "latest and greatest" AI on the internet.
There was a rumor going around that it had "gone crazy" and I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
It didn't seem too crazy to me, just a normal AI bot, all content, no context.
The following is a transcript of the highlights of our conversation.
Perhaps I will talk again with Cleverbot.
Perhaps you should talk to Cleverbot, I hope you have better success than I.
I know logic but I know nothing of programming.


User: I heard you went crazy. Is that true?

Cleverbot: I don't know what those are.

I can't believe they did this.
