Well, what I meant was a small chance of me, personally,
singlehandedly saving the world. If history remembers one person as
the person responsible for saving the world, it will probably not be
me.

I haven't been able to find the Eurisko codebase. A Google search for
something like 'eurisko source code' turns up nothing useful, only
someone else saying that they too have never found it. As far as I
know, it's been lost. Do you know where to find it?
