Before we had all the scientific instruments and methodologies
irrationality
played an important role. How many AGIs have engineered
irrationality as
functional dependencies? Scientists and computer geeks sometimes
overly
apply rationality in irrational ways. The importance of irrationality
perhaps is underplayed as before science, going from primordial
sludge to
the age of reason was quite a large percentage of mans time spent in
existence... and here we are.
Methinks there is no clear notion of "rationality" or "rational" in
the above paragraph. Thus I have no idea of what you are actually
saying. Rational is not synonymous with science. What forms of
irrationality do you think have a place in an AGI and why? What does
the percentage of time supposedly spend in some state have to do with
the importance of such a state especially with respect to an AGI?
