@ReinH @mentalguy @gilesgoatboy clearly humans are more than capable of holding irrational/inconsistent belief systems
@ReinH @mentalguy @gilesgoatboy we can build extremely accurate models of anything that obeys Newtonian mechanics. Why not brains?

@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy Theoretically we might be able to. Practically, probably not. There are > 100 trillion synapses. -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy "in theory" is all that matters for this discussion... how's that different from a "positronic brain"? -
@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy the two have completely different designs. The "software" they're both running matters too. -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy gonna guess a "positronic brain" works a lot like a real one ;) -
@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy I'm gonna guess a positronic brain was programmed by a computer scientist, so completely unlike humans'. -
@ReinH@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy Or do you think they just threw a bunch of positronic components in there and stirred it up? -
@ReinH@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy they may have copied biology... -
@bascule@mentalguy@gilesgoatboy Didn't we just agree that this would be practically infeasible? :p - 3 more replies
