Oh here comes you again...

lol... I was scanning this and I wish I haven't, I have a few comments:

1) If you have scientific proof, SHOW YOUR SOURCES! I could say it's been scientifically proven that up is down and that tomorrow it will rain apple pie, but just because I said science proved it does not mean that it is true.

2) Until we find a way to remove resistance of the flow of electricity in memory and other parts, I'm pretty sure (I'm guessing) that there is no way to create a human brain. First of all, a brain has it own electricity running through itself. Second, we have unlimited capacity to do whatever we want, we have nothing to keep us from doing something besides willpower, which I doubt computers will ever have.

3) the answer is 42.

I;d continue, but I gotta sprint to class... So long and thanks for all the fish.

We can... if I wanted to I could strip naked, light myself on fire, run over to where you live and burn yourself down. We have unlimited capacity to do stupid, absolutely random actions that make no sense. However, computers will be defined by their programming, even if a computer could write a program, it would be forced to write what we tell it to, since the nature of a computer is to do calculations given by an input. Meanwhile, if we asked a human to do those same calculation, most likely that person will just tell you to go away.

That it is.

Now where'd I up my towel?

Damn you Eets(gasp I was about to call you Kosc)

I dont want anyone knowing I do that to my towels!!

Well, not technically just out of willpower to grow spontaneously wings, but we could find out how we could genetically modify ourselves to grow wings if we knew enough about ourselves.

The problem is that Computers are completely logical. Humans are not. Computers can only be as creative as we are when they have the ability to have insights and know from experience from past data. I think I killed the tenses in that last sentence, but hopefully you get it. Remember humans only use about 20% of their Grey stuff (or is it 40%?). Point is it isn't much, but we invented amazing things already!

Um, I thought it was 8%...

Um, this is about as wrong as it gets.

If your brain would only use 8% of it, you would be already dead. If it would only use 40% of it, you would be severely handicapped.

This myth (we only use XX% of our brain) was created by Scientology to sell their stuff, it has no base in reality at all.

We always use our brain to 100% (any part which wouldn't be used would be basically dead). This doesn't mean that training and exercise doesn't improve ones abilities, it only means that you don't use "more" of your brain, it just means that you've got more synapses and a different wiring of the brain cells.

Well, my source (which isn't in English) attributes it to Scientology, but it can be wrong with that. But read this source here which is about this myth in the USA and gives some other sources. Even though, it's still a myth.

[quote] I only use 2%, I have a LOT of grey stuff. [/quot]

You are Schod the All Knowing.

You know we are studying overconfidence in Psych right now. Its not just you being a jerk sometimes Schem, it is common trait in all people. We always think we know more then we actually do, and thanks to Hindsight bias even if we are wrong we tell ourselves we were 'almost right'.

Oh and to end the little brain contreversy, our complext thought processes only use at most 10% on average of our brains total computing potential. Thats what it basicly means. You could have multiple computations or thoughts going on, but each one can only use 10% or so. Sometimes a little more, but thats only in 'special' cases.

what is with doing that?
