I just proved that Kurzweil is right with his theory that the brain is just a shitload of pattern recognizers organized in complex layers.
I was driving in my car the other day and actually thought there is a old lady on the sidewalk but when I came closer I realized it is just a dumpster which looks like that from a certain point of view. I realized that my brain detects and identifies objects purely by comparing what I see with things I previously saw somewhere else and that it can fail to do so in spectacular ways. I can't stop thinking about what our brain actually is since I had this experience, we arent special, we are no smarter than today's computer's, we just use the power way more efficiently. The thing is that I was 100% sure that it was an old lady and it reminded me of the neuronal nets confusing negros with gorialls and things like that. What do you think Veeky Forums, is Kurzweil the Einstein of our time? Are we going to be cyborgs soon? I hope so.

Juan Brooks
nice contribution to the topic, retard.
John Russell
>atheism being mocked even on Veeky Forums now I want americans to leave.
>I just proved that Kurzweil is right with his theory that the brain is just a shitload of pattern recognizers organized in complex layers. Yeah you/he is right about that, it happens to me loads of times. I really don't see what it all has to do with le singularity meme tho.
Dominic Morgan
Humans are special op. You are special. I remember nasa doing that too.

Sorry, but Dennet is a brainlet
Blake Lopez
That doesn't make dualism true lol. Please solve the problem of interaction if you're so sure of yourself.

>I just proved that Stopped reading there. No you didn't.
Adam Cruz
ok Einstein, explain where I'm wrong. I'm listening.
Joseph Wood
I just told you I stopped reading at the first sentence. Are you retarded?
Owen Cox
Are you talking about computers or brains?
Dominic Cook
no u
Kayden Wright
I was going to say the same. Indeed, that one was a really stupid comment.
Jace Parker
This amount of same fagging to bump the stupidest thread in the catelog.
Noah Brown
Com'on. It is true that he didn't actually prooved what he claimed. But his ideas were indeed interesting. Maybe the brain has more features than just that one. But your comment didn't add to the discussion.
Let the social scientists do the job of talking shit to each other.
I hereby define the four levels of tribal conflict. First level is the Primate Level where the components literally throw shit at each other. Second level is the Normie Level, where the members just talk shit to each other without coming any close to conveying logical ideas. Third level is the Peer Level, where the constituents, in order to attack each other, simply write a paper on the subject in discusion, in which they want to show superiority, and upload to arXiv for peer review. And finally the fourth level of tribal conflict is Clay Level. In this level when two participants get into an argument, the winner is the one that solves an open Clay problem for the sole purpose of showing dominance, after the argument. He then has not only the right, but also the obligation to be masturbated by the loosing part.

>we aren't special By what standard? Or just typical self-hatred from a godless teenager with a mild personality disorder?
Luis Sanchez
We aren't any more special than other animals. Just a little more complex. I am not an atheist and I validate his thoughts. You are just a burdened religious brat.
Easton Nguyen
His main point is just in cognitive aspects. What an annoying proselitism. He wasn't even on the religious subject. You are biased and easily triggered to talk about your beliefs

what is your field of study? Tell us about a little.
Sebastian Moore
>my brain detects and identifies objects two words for that: "pattern recognition" >we are no smarter than today's computer's when a computer assembles a human, I'll agree
Robert Lewis
I was just using this one as an example, retard.
Sebastian Stewart
You didn't understand OP's point. Really dumb.
Carson Jackson
No user, you are an immortal spirit inhabiting corrupted meat in the realm of the flesh and temptation.

Is that a tranny?

Evan Anderson
Sounds like gnosticism
Cameron Ross
OP dont you think you think you might have been tricked because you were looking for that situation?
Jose Young
also called Confirmation Bias
Henry Davis
would gestalt apply to this situation though?
Dominic Brooks
No. I didn't think about it for at least a few months when it happened
Lincoln Morgan
Psychotic babbling. You need Jesus son.

What a shitty thread, Veeky Forums is all talk and no action.
