Suppose there’s a highly-detailed molecular dynamics simulation of every atom in your brain: every ion channel in every neuron, any neurotransmitters wafting about, and whatever other mechanisms might be relevant (ephaptic coupling?) for good measure.
This would be frightfully expensive to build and run (BlueBrain blew billions on a very stripped down version)l Nevertheless, it’s not obvious to me that this MD model wouldn’t “think” in the same way you do.
- The_rationalist 6y agoThe simulation you describe, if precise enough is isomorphic to a real brain so obviously it's tautologic that it would think the same way as the real brain do (qualias aside). But panpsychism apply to anything, e.g a rock. And your statement does not apply to a standard neural network.
