    Humans And Their Ability To Make Mistakes In today's pop culture, there is one very popular view of the future.

  • Functions Of A Computer Program
    852 words
    Functionalism agrees that brain states are responsible for mental states, but disagrees that they are identical with them. To do this, functionalists argue that neurological states or brain activity help to realize mental states, which then lead to behavior. This argument proposes that brain states are 'low level' activities that help realize 'high level' mental states. To help understand this idea I will use the usual Functionalist example of a computer. Imagine that you ask a computer to add t...

    In the Age of Spiritual Machines Ray Kurzweil Once, the Earth was ensconced by an ocean of nothing, a vast wasteland of "molecular soup". It was the union of these molecules, however that soon filled that sea with what we now refer to as life.

In time, the program developed to adjust the full being to its su...

  • Computers And Brains
    450 words
    I'm sitting down at a computer that has very vast capabilities. It is capable of almost any application, but it being only the size of my history textbook, leaves it fragile and vulnerable. With a few light slams, or the pass of a powerful magnet, it's very existence could be destroyed. Ancient times suggest not only survival of the fittest, but also survival of the smartest. Long ago the dinosaurs went extinct leaving many of the bigger brained mammals the dominant species. Then the larger brai...
