'This statement can't be confirmed to be true solely by utilizing a human brain'. We can see its true, but whatever knows this, can't (solely) be the brain (since this would lead to a contradiction).
So it seem to show we are beyond the brain as well. In fact, we can do this with any entity, and see that we are beyond any individual entity. The sentence seemingly breaks down as we make it universal - 'This stament can't be confirmed at all'. This deconstructs the notion of confirmation. So we can see its true without being able to confirm it. Finally we could say 'This statement cannot be seen to be true'. At this point, it seems there is nothing left to say about the statement in terms of binary truth statements (like the liar paradox). -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Simple-proof-that-our-intelligence-transcends-that-of-computers-tp34330236p34331651.html Sent from the Everything List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
