Universality (of minds) is a software feature. Memory + time available (clock cycles) are properties of hardware (brains). I expect people to differ in the hardware to some extent...but this isn't what makes them people or "intelligent" on my view. The software does that.

Then frankly, please leave this stuff in philosophy club and out of my discussions on real human beings, who have hardware of various means bestowed upon them via mechanisms entirely beyond their control.

Even if minds are universal, I don’t see why you wouldn’t sometimes be required to alter them for them to be able to do something. “In principle” fudges the issue. The line between idealisation and fantasy is very vague most of the time.

What would be an example of altering the mind in your view here?
