The problem with using advanced computing for a purpose is that said computing is dependent on a stable infrastructure base that could simply go away if the power grid crashes or EMF activity interferes with or destroys devices.

Clarinets, pencils and pads of writing paper, and knitting needles can all get by just fine with a human power source.  Wink

Why would you want to look to an external creation for purpose, anyway?  Serious question.  As long as it's your own mind that's reacting to the concept of purpose anyway, why not look there?
