You're not disagreeing with me, as far as I can tell. I am objecting to the claim that we can never understand the human mind in terms of neuro- and that psych- has some ability to explain things that neuro- can never explain. People are so short-sighted. Not you, but the author, and those who write that AI can never to X or similar things. Do we really believe that if humans or their descendants are still around 10k years from now, able to use tools and exercise creativity, that they won't have figured a lot of this stuff out? We've only been seriously at this for 400 years, and casually for say 5k years. Why would we make any "never" claims?
