A human mind simulating another human mind is a computational system which is powerful enough to do arithmetic acting on itself, so Gödel's incompleteness theorems apply.
- LPisGood 2y agoI’m not sure where you’re going with this. To wit, no one expects human brains to be capable of arbitrarily complex computation.
- tialaramex 2y agoWhat I'm getting at is that you won't achieve anything by simulating a human brain. Which doesn't mean nobody will try, the World's Richest Man seems determined to send humans to Mars, which is equally futile, but just that it is definitely futile and here's why we know that.
- LPisGood 2y ago> you won't achieve anything by simulating a human brain This does not follow from any theorem of Gödel.
