If you believe the human brain's processes are computable, and you believe evolution is a random process, then you believe that computers arise randomly.
Is that what you mean by "annoying semantic arguments"?
- oneoff786 4y agoYes. That is an annoying semantic argument. The intended discussion is pretty clearly a purposefully manufactured device made of silicon and how understanding how that instantiates by watching silicon is not at all like watching how nucleotides arrange into rna. Discussions of what constitutes a computer in this context or whether an nth order effect of a “random” process are just distracting.
- jdthedisciple 4y agoAre you saying you are certain that human DNA was not purposefully manufactured?
- oneoff786 4y agoHuman DNA is a lonnnng way down below the timelines and processes we’re talking about buddy.
