do you stand by your and my earlier notion that some of those components must by symbolic?https://twitter.com/mpshanahan/status/949948318481829888 …

(1) The human brain does not use symbolic components (2) The human brain does not use statistical methods (3) The human brain can't distinguish between causality and correlation So please, stop describing the capabilities of a human with that found in a computer.
All three are simply empty assertions without argument; the first is debatable (I made the arguments in Algebraic Mind); 2 and 3 just false.

The human brain uses intuition as the basis of its cognition, not symbolic methods. The evidence that a model-free system is able to perform complex logical inference can be found in AlphaZero playing chess.

The mind performing performing statistics or distinguishing between causation and correlation is not due to some innate cognitive mechanism, but rather through training and experience. These are not fundamental components as you assert.
