- One made of Complete AWESOMENESS!
- About Me:
- I am a weirdo; I don’t use that term to be self-critical or belittle myself, but instead realize that it is the closest term to what I truly am. I enjoy the healing power of laughter – perhaps too much so… – and find that I work best with music playing. There is something about trees that makes me dreamy, and something about the sea that makes me want to sing and do the hornpipe. I come from a rather health-conscious extended family on both sides, which was transferred through my parents to me. I have a tinge of the neo-hippy about me; I am a vegetarian (well balanced, not adolescent rebellion, thank you VERY much), am intrigued by herbal medicine in non-life-threatening-situations, and find ethnic food guilty of being generally tasty and nutritious at the same time. Oh, and I’m talkative. My taste in everything is a little of the wall, so beg yer pardon if some of it's kind of weird. Anyway, VIVE LOS POETAS DEL MUNDO, CADA PERSONA QUE SUENYAN! Nerds forever!

You...A nerdfighter in Stockton,too??

"I think therefore I am." I had that going through my mind a few days ago. I thought of it like "I think I'm awesome, therefore I am awesome." but it just means being existance,right? lol, either way, interesting to think about.
"I think therefore I am" was the heading of an entire philosophical dissertation upon the fact that the only thing that one can verify the existence of is, in fact, oneself. There had been a school of thought at that time who had postulated that even this was impossible to verify, but the dissertation proved it through dialectics.
As we are not computers (or at least not verifiably so), we can not even begin to prove sentient thought. There is a test, however, where a human examiner questions two people through an e-mail system. When the human examiner is unable to differentiate between a computer test subject and a human test subject, the computer system is deemed "a strong AI."
There are two list of goals for the computer; one that is attainable at this time, and another that is part of what makes us human. The first list has items like reason, knowledge, planning, learning, communicion in natural language, and integration.
The second list has such items as consciousness (to have subjective experience and thought), self-awareness (to be aware of oneself as a separate individual), sentience (the ability to "feel"), sapience (the capacity for wisdom), and innovation.
So really, "I think, therefore I am" doesn't really apply to computers; which "think" does it mean? The "think" that I feel Descartes is referring to is the interior feeling of computation that arises from the human consciousness. Anyway, tell me what you think.
hello there.
