- laichzeit0 6mo agoI feel like Searle could have taken the argument further down to pen-and-paper because people will somehow think if you can just make the neural network big and fast enough then “mind” and “consciousness” will somehow emerge from the symbol manipulation being done, but if you were to write it down on paper then it wouldn’t. So yeah, if you think that consciousness can arise from computation, then you’re forced to admit it can arise through doing math on paper.
