In this short piece of advice, Marc H. Raibert tells you about the way you can produce good writings. His advices are simple. He foremost suggestion is that you must believe you can write produce a good writing, and for doing so, you need to start from a [possibly] bad one and gradually improve it be several rounds of revising.
AMIR!!! 😀
it has been a long time since we last “talk” to each other!
How are you doing, my friend? 🙂
I am on the way to finish my final project at university upon evolving neural networks through simulated evolution.
That post of yours is very helpful for myself!
Hu…
“[…]start from a [possibly] bad one and gradually improve it be several rounds of revising.”
It’s not so much different from evolving something! 🙂

Hi Marcelo! (:
Yes! It’s been a really long time! (: Hope you are doing fine and I can read your papers soon.
By the way, I completely agree that it is like a gradual optimization problem. But is it really an evolutionary one if we don’t have a population of solutions?
Hi, Amir!!! 🙂
Thanks for your kind words! 🙂
Hmmm… despite there is not a population of texts, we could admit that there is, on the other hand, a population of words (and, going a little deeper, a – very large!! – population of letters/characters). So, combining, mutating, breeding and adapting all those words, the solution of the problem itself – that is, finding a well written text – would be feasible from the evolution viewpoint.
But I agree with you that the evolution viewpoint makes much more sense taking into account an available population of texts. 🙂
