See. This is another problem with philosophers. Did I say opposed to anything? You just pulled that notion out of your ass and assumed I don't understand science. You guys use big words but in actuality you make a lot of random irratio

The basis is logic. Certain attributes of philosophy make it ludicrous. Additionally the way philosophers formulate arguments brings the whole field into question. Philosophy is just a vocabulary word. It is a arbitrary word with a definiti

There's a thing called philosophy of religion and philosophy of science. Every single thing on the face of the earth falls into the purview of philosophy. It's harder to see but the field is just as ludicrous as religion itself. N

1. Biology can produce things which are incredibly smart and efficient. It can also produce things which are dumb and inefficient. By your second sentence it follows that such structures aren't a leap of faith. It is very possible. 2.

My take is it has absolutely nothing to do with why I think philosophy is complete garbage. Think of it this way. If let's say a cultist religious sect believes in science and contributes to science then at the same time this cultist r

It's not a massive leap of faith at all. Two reasons: 1. We know how natural selection works, and it clearly often produces unnecessary parts for many things. 2. There is physical evidence of evolution creating unnecessary and

I hate philosophers and I think the entire field is illegitimate. Not to be insulting to you personally. It's just my opinion of the field in general. I have nothing against you. I look at your entire field with very high disdain. To m

It's a logical conclusion. The answer is yes it's possible. We have a math function that defines atoms. Atoms can be simulated. If all things are made of atoms then all things can be simulated. If all things can be simulated then

I'm not converting him. I'm just talking about the classification of the word religion and the dichotomy between science and religion. Whether a religion is True or real is not a topic I touched upon.

I think he's saying something along the lines that intelligence is mutually exclusive to learning. If we create a neural net that has the equivalent knowledge and intelligence of a human 5 year old but that neural net learns slower and

There must be something "turing complete-ish" about neural nets. As in although the primitive element of a human neuron is complex, you can achieve identical computational power with a much simpler model.

It is. Religion is faith based. Science is evidence based. They are opposites. But people can be contradictory. They can believe both are the same without realizing it. You are such a person. The premise of religion is to believe in things
