Computers can simulate electrical and chemical interactions, given enough computational power could you not simulate it at that level?

- justinpaulson 11y agoBut that simulation still ignores a certain qualia that has grown from our existence. There is something else happening that we don't understand and I think it is a bit short-sighted to assume that we can simulate it, definitely not now, and possibly never.
- TickleSteve 11y agoyour argument is equivalent to "we dont understand it, therefore it must be super-natural".
- justinpaulson 11y agoNo, my argument is that we don't understand it, therefore we can't assume that our simulation is anything close to the same process.
