I don't understand you. Humans are objectively the smartest animals, and the iPhone and SQL are proof of that.

- brudgers 5y agoIf computation exists independent of humans, then the iPhone and SQL are evidence that small is more sophisticated. If computation is not independent of humans, then there is no basis for a claim to objectivity. SQL and iPhones are simply all we know because we are limited to human experience. Experience which we know is at times fallible…we might be phlogiston wrong again. What perhaps doesn’t register is at best it makes no difference if humans are smartest. It doesn’t make us smarter. At worst, belief that we are smartest makes us dumber.
