This is pretty dumb, the whole point of the monkey with typewriters thing is that they're typing random characters, not knowing the language.

The meta of the joke, as well as the philosophical idea that underpins it, is that the universe is based in probability and we are the result of those infinite dice rolls eventually making a human race that can think and be conscious and create Hamlet.

But what is random, really? Why did those monkeys smash the keys that they did?

You're right, but it isnt trying to actually argue that, its a joke.

"Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out.

I sit here all day writing random words, and still no Shakespeare.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Still more comprehensible than the average monkey!
