Based on this post (and more so what I've been able to find of the original discussion) I don't think he's overlooking this at all; if anything it's so obvious that he's not calling it out literally, like saying "I'm building an automobile"; you don't expect to have to say it's going to have wheels...
- scott_s 16y agoThat's because we already know how a car works. We know that wheels and an engine are necessary, but a cupholder is not. Meyers' point, as I understand it, is our understanding of the brain is not yet sophisticated to know what we can exclude from simulation.
