Yes, but "rationality without imagination and creativity" is just a bogus "straw man" construct ... certainly, it is never what I mean when I talk about "rationality" ...
Obsession with visual images is a whole other issue, though. It seems very obvious that an AI or alien organism with no visual perception could be massively intelligent and creative, potentially more so than humans. Vision is merely one particular way of sensing and internally modeling portions of the physical world. ben On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 10:43 AM, Mike Tintner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You'll remember that I've been saying this for quite a while - now Kevin > Kelly is saying it - and you'll be hearing a lot more of this > > http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/magazine/23wwln-future-t.html?_r=2&sq=KEVIN%20KELLY&st=cse&scp=1&pagewanted=all > > "Intelligence" that is rationality without imagination, symbol manipulation > without image manipulation, basically paper-based rather than screen-based > (or "consciousness"-based), isn't intelligence at all. > > > > ------------------------------------------- > agi > Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now > RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ > Modify Your Subscription: > https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; > Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com > -- Ben Goertzel, PhD CEO, Novamente LLC and Biomind LLC Director of Research, SIAI [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The empires of the future are the empires of the mind." -- Sir Winston Churchill ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
