If you name yourself "Bin Laden", then you will be a part of Bin Laden family.


Given enough energy you can transform even shit into gold, while physical matter is just 0 and 1 bits, which can take any given form.

I haven't reached that goal but I am certainly on the way there.
Hahaha.. AHAHAHAHAHA. If you only knew what I know. All our labor and sweat is without reward. We're both inevitably doomed to a meaningless end.

Excellent reasons there chief, I totally agree with you, random internet person over people who accomplish things.

I genuinely believe I'm God. According to your reasoning, I am God. Bow down to me, foolish mortal.

I think he's referring to subjective experience, which is beyond computation.[1]
Too bad it's all reciprocal though; the computer thinks you're the soulless machine. Or that's what it would think if it were aware of such concepts.

You're missing the point which is free will. Having a will doesn't necessarily mean that one can change one's biology or overall environment. What it does mean is that we can choose goals and find ways to achieve them. I cannot grow myself a third arm, I can study biology and robotics for the goal of building a third arm. I cannot stop a two tonne car by my strength, I can train to pull a bus to a given standard. I cannot stop earthquakes from occurring but I can invest research money into geographical studies and engineering technologies so that buildings can better survive them when they occur.

Give a reasonable definition of subjective experience so that there may be a logical connection to computation. Then we can ask if it is beyond or not.

Too bad it's all reciprocal though; the computer thinks you're the soulless machine. Or that's what it would think if it were aware of such concepts.
At present day technology, we can understand the schematics of our machines and be reasonably certain that they are not aware of concepts. But then consider a chaotic FPGA with a microphone input that has been reassembling itself over thousands of years. Even if you had access to its schematics, its design would not be humanly comprehensible, and you would not know its designed purpose. So you could not be sure that it doesn't have a process that is equivalent to us understanding concepts.

Quines can do it. They can do it better than I can, actually.
