Wrong assumption that the chemical goo is only doing math....

• hardbass 11d ago
  What's the non-math part you think? All of currently known physics is turing computable as far as I am aware.
  • lolakutty 11d ago
    currently known physics is not good enough.. It is quite an arbitrary classification. What is so special about "current" knowledge...
    • hardbass 11d ago
      If you think current physics is insufficient but future physics might be sufficient, I can accept that but its still an unfounded belief. If you truly believe something "more" is needed, then you are placing a bet that always lost for centuries. Bets in anything supernatural or aphysical have always and consistently failed till now.

        Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Not my words.
        • hardbass 11d ago
          That magic means a different thing from supernatural magic.
          • lolakutty 11d ago
            Oh, What does it mean then? You are so amusing....
            • hardbass 11d ago
              Its a purely physical mechanism but one that is currently beyond our understanding. "Magic" magic is belief in souls, eg brains have aphysical magic.
              • lolakutty 11d ago
                Why do you think "souls" can't have some physical mechanism that is beyond our current understanding?
                • hardbass 11d ago
                  If you think "souls" have some physical mechanism then they are not souls by the definition I am using. We would then agree, though I do not yet think we have found reason for new physical laws to be required, however that can of course be a possibility.
                  • lolakutty 11d ago
                    >they are not souls by the definition Kindly share that concrete definition..
                    • hardbass 11d ago
                      It should have been clear from our discussion when I said "souls" I meant belief in the non-physical. Magic juice in the brain that is unexplainable by physics at all. Being unexplainable by current physics but explainable by future physics is not a "soul" by that definition.
                      • lolakutty 11d ago
                        > non-physical. Now, what is your definition for this?
