I see, so we're pretty much on the same page, just slightly differing yet mostly isomorphic viewpoints.
I think it will be interesting to see the look on the faces of those who are opposed to the idea that human brain are nothing more than computational machines in the next decade or so once we succeed at fully simulating a human brain.
I'm a little worried also about the ethical ramifications of doing this, I mean, if I were the simulated mind, I don't think I would fancy having my simulated environment changed and parts of mind altered (which might actually be very painful) to monitor the underlying results of doing so. But I suppose it's for the greater good of all of humanity.
Perhaps we should elect
>>31 as the candidate to have his brain scanned so he can be tortured for eternity in a simulated hell.
