I assume you consider your own thoughts to be based on logic. Your brain generates those thoughts. You have labeled your brain a simulator. I take it ...
I think they are entwined not separate. From: https://www.newscientist.com/definition/quantum-field-theory/?msclkid=8db02db7c2dc11ec801ce7d9673dde45 Q...
Your typings here seem to indicate a lack of conviction on your part. Is your brain offering you illogical simulations then? Shall we now drop the unh...
YOU are real but your brain is a simulator. Give me an example of YOUR brain simulator in action during a typical awake period when you experience the...
So is your life a simulation? If human brains can only produce simulations then human experience is a logical simulation, according to your logic. Is ...
I think the fundamental is movement. Spacetime is motion. Not moving is relative. A particle is a disturbance/movement of a field/bit of spacetime. Ti...
You have not demonstrated such detailed knowledge so far. You just called the human brain a 'life simulator.' Is your brain a simulator? is it an emul...
That's another exchange! I don't hold with any posit that the human 'mind,' exists beyond the human brain. Are you a dualist? Thanks for your nice com...
Each other? A pigeon? A non-existent god? Your earlier self? An individual human can be very very strong indeed both mentally and physically. Our ment...
Do your qualifications and years of experience in the field of neuroscience and biological engineering convince you of this or is it just your opinion...
Well here's a start: https://www.brainfacts.org/Brain-Anatomy-and-Function/Cells-and-Circuits/2019/Build-a-Neuron-011819?msclkid=c0d93ab2c21c11ecac9c0...
This is completely inaccurate! When you use terms like 'push' or 'external program,' you have to be very clear about the context. External to what? th...
I like your OP, I think it's well balanced and I agree with the main points you make, especially regarding theism. I think many humans build many wall...
The future projections of transhumanism are grounded in material reality. Your comment on DNA is valid but there were many before DNA and RNA were dis...
You just repackage the same points again and again. The brain contains static data at any time instant. static just means unchanged (yet). Based on th...
Yet you dismiss transhumanism based on such an elementary current technological level in computing science and you ignore the tiny green shoots of qua...
No because it provides a current guesstimated answer to the trivial question 'can the memory capacity of a computer equal that of a human brain?' that...
2.5 petabytes is a guesstimate based on input from neuroscientists. People ask hard questions, others do their best to answer them. Your comparison of...
But your sensor system did, it just took a while for your processors to confirm the data input. Some people don't always say ouch or scream out, the i...
Two transhumans would hopefully be as diverse in observation as humans are. Its hard to know for sure UNTIL THEY EXIST. I take it you are typing about...
Understanding is not objective it is subjective. An observer may see a particle's properties based on their reference frame and another observer will ...
I have met similar people. How big was the page, how much writing was on it? etc. And even if she could memorise a standard sized book page of text qu...
So you have good peripheral vision, you were not 'unconscious,' perhaps your 'awareness,' functionality was not paying adequate attention to the resul...
It a matter of the context in which you use the terms. No human can recall all sensory input they have received since birth. That's the fact that I am...
My point is that it is not evidence of an eidetic memory. I don't accept that it's evidence of photographic memory either as the two terms are traditi...
I do not claim to be 100% atheist, neither does Dawkings but you claim to be 100% polytheist! You win the dogmatist award. I do engage in belief syste...
To answer with a little more detail. This is not evidence of an eidetic/photographic memory. Perhaps he has a snapshot capability at best. Espionage a...
Yeah :roll: and if you were thinking of a song and it suddenly comes on the radio then that's the gods, servicing your consciousness or perhaps not. W...
It doesn't have to be, you can save it in backup archival, external electronic memory if you want to. You can make as many backup copies as you like b...
You type as if you understand the full workings of the human brain and no one currently does. People with pacemakers is a beginning. You are just sayi...
Yeah but unlike the, if existent, then totally vile, gods, we have to understand and accept that with great power comes great responsibility. No sorry...
That is a very simple sentence and does not reflect the complexity involved. Its as simplistic and vague and meaningless as god made Adam from the dus...
Based on what convincing, scientific, empirical evidence? Survival is the result of the process. The fact that a result or consequence occurs in the n...
Yes it is 'necessarily determined,' we have shown how we can MAKE it happen in our genetic manipulation of dogs, sheep, cows etc. I think you are tryi...
Not an area of interest for me but a quick internet search produced: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/ergo/12405314.0004.031?view=text;rgn=main#:~:text=Le...
No it's not. Scientists often try to communicate with the public in less 'elitist sounding scientific terminology.' It's the same idea as saying the E...
What do you mean by 'to program consciousness?' Perhaps you could give an example of this future 'transhuman' system you are trying to describe here? ...
I started programming computers with assembly codes and then soon moved onto BBC BASIC. Late 1970's. I then moved on to writing compilers for a while....
This is a very skewed logic in my opinion and It makes very little sense to me. So we both ask questions but we don't agree on the answers. We have a ...
