The table of contents and the summary suggest extraordinarily weak arguments, from "one of the most widely cited contemporary philosophers". Maybe full brain simulation is impossible, but on the other hand (1) maybe it's not and (2) maybe there are other systems that can exhibit intelligence, other than one specific primate organ.
Has anyone actually read the book? Is the argument just poorly characterized in the summary?
- ta988 4y agoI'm going through it, got it recently. Arguments are stronger than what the TOC and excerpt reflect. While I'm still not convinced by their position (and don't fell like I will be), it clearly is a good support for thinking about all those questions so I'm enjoying it. That's why I shared it here, it is more about what I get from it rather than the philosophical position.
