Hi John Clark Do computers have intuition ? I believe that intuition is necessary to solve a puzzle or prove a mathematical or logical stratement. To produce something new or previously unknown.
Intuiition may be like inference, a form of synthetic thinking, versus analytic thinking. Only synthesis can produce something new. Personally, I wonder if it wasn't intuition that Penrose had in mind when he suggested that in solving problems we sometimes pop pour heads into the platonic realm (my words). Roger Clough, [email protected] 8/22/2012 Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so everything could function." ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: John Clark Receiver: everything-list Time: 2012-08-21, 13:35:48 Subject: Re: Simple proof that our intelligence transcends that of computers On Tue, Aug 21, 2012? benjayk <[email protected]> wrote: > In this post I present an example of a problem that we can (quite easily) solve, yet a computer can't, even in principle, thus showing that our intelligence transcends that of a computer. [...] Is the following statement true? 'This statement can't be confirmed to be true solely by utilizing a computer' The following statement is without question true: "Benjamin Jakubik cannot consistently assert this sentence" A computer would have no difficulty in asserting this true statement, in fact every one of you is looking at a computer? now doing that simple task right now, and yet there is no logical paradox that threatens to tear the universe apart; and yet a human being,? Benjamin Jakubik, is unable to perform this task, a task that even the smallest computer can do with ease.? ?
