Who in their right mind would not be happy in My presence?! But remember your own words well (for a change) for the day approaches when I get finally tired of ‘waiting for approval’

I didn’t die, but still I am God.Did you notice the similiarity to Dog?That’s how I found out!

Only god can understand godly jokes!

!

– No. Would you “booother” so much to explain? lol

btw, what point did I made when I spoke of “closing loops”??
No-one, NOT ONE. haha, the ONLY post of mine you replied in A LOOONG TIME.. sooo CONVENIENTLY! Why are you so afraid of even TRYING to argue? THAT’s why you “don’t bother” to, because you cant.

“I’m teasing you, like you tease Gordon and myself. ” + ” I’m teasing you not that you tease us. ” == DUMB!

” I know that you mean it but you don’t give any real debatable responses”

–That’s because My WORD is FINAL. Good thing you at least notice how magnanimous I am for sparing you the SHAME of “debating” with me.

” may seem smart to you. ”

– Quite the opposite. I do that for the simple benefit of YOU PUNY humans. Being one of the few hard coded patterns in your tiny brains, it serves as a escape valve for your brainless anxiety, which can’t stand being “proven wrong”(whatever that means inside your voluminous heads). Which is quite ironic if you could think about it.

“it’s not a good way of presenting you arguements. ”

– Why would you presume I would want to “present my arguEments[sic]” in a “good way” in a silver plate for idiots?! ohwait, that’s why…

” Most of the time I think your arguments are far off base, but sometimes I do agree with you. ”

– You should strive to invert those odds.
Maybe then you wouldn’t feel this all encompassing statement satisfactorily replaces the “bother of argument”… unconsciously of course, I wouldn’t expect you to get so sophisticated.

“I won’t be obnoxious like you are and tell you not to post. ”

– Are you implying I EVER said or WOULD EVER say that to anyone no matter how stupid you are?! OR it is this another instance when you come around and pretend you didn’t imply it, like the dumb equation above? It makes it even more obvious you don’t know what obnoxious even MEANS!!! How can you even judge me then? RA! Let the Sun God enlighten you: Yes, I am. MWAHAHAHAHA

“You can say whatever you like.”

– Oh thank you SO MUCH, Bri. You are so sweet for stop crying long enough for the Editor not to censor my posts! I know you don’t call it that, but a rose by any other name would smell just as “SHweeIT”, my so sweet friend. You denounce despotism but newspeak is so second nature to you! Mwahaha you will see what despotism is all about, my rosy friend.

“We are all entitled to our own opinions”
– I agree COMPLETELY. And I would say more! We are all entitled to be forever entitles to our own opinions of ever! However, THAT makes you an idiot. THIS is NOT an opinion! And this is NOT an offense, before you run crying.

“Nobody died and made either one of us God.”
– argument == Death, I let you Freudians out there work it out.

QED hahahahahahahahahhaha oh look ma! no smileys!!! It must mean it is well presented to you now.

Have a nice day.

Ps: Well, your last paragraph was strange, too.

What I find silly is the notion that there’s something fundamentally different about the way brains work, which prevents them (theoretically) from being simulated on today’s digital computers. In principle, I reckon we could run a full human-level simulation on my desktop PC, if only we knew how to program it. Sure, it’d run 1000s of times slower than normal, but I believe it would have the exact same behaviour and experience as a “flesh and bones” human. No magical new hardware architecture needed.

“Simulating a brain is purely a matter of getting the software right.” I mostly agree. Notice what I’m saying is that we can’t possibly get it right until we account for these other (extremely important) variables that are presently being ignored. The electrochemical components add many additional dimensions of computation, and we would do well to fully understand those before getting too ahead of ourselves. Once we know exactly what they do, and determine a numeric emulation of their effect on the overall system, then and only then can the software for brain emulation be right.
