Hi all, I think(?) that you all have it wrong.
Life is a little like playing chess - every second we have many choices, and select what to do. Reflecting back on it we see a particular path, akin to seeing a particular history in a chess game. However, the game or path in life is an emergent property of a process that is anything but single thread. In our attempts to understand "thinking" we build models of a single thread process, that couldn't be further from the truth. A computer can't simulate or even model itself, especially special-purpose computers like our brains that are NOT well equipped for modeling. Your single-thread sense of your own consciousness DOES NOT EXIST except as flawed models in your own minds. STOP wasting your time trying to replicate something that can't possibly exist.

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
