Brad, I do agree with this assessment of human brain design -- but I think an AGI with superhuman intelligence can have a much more compact underlying design. This is one reason why I don't advocate modeling AGI designs closely on the brain (another, more important reason being that neuroscience is still so damn primitive and incomplete...) -- Ben G ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
