#50 — I’ve got to say though that you seem rather over confident given that Dr. Roger Penrose applied Gödel’s incompleteness theorem to this very same issue and found your position wanting perhaps impossible, if I understand you correctly.
I wasn’t talking about modeling the human mind, which really has nothing to do with it anyway. The point would be to create models that allow “something” to evolve to the point where one can observe that which would be interpreted as moral or ethical decisions.
Re Penrose the counter is Kurzweil and his discussions re the singularity. Kurzweil is more focused on computing rather than physics. I’m not convinced that Dr. Penrose was in his element re Emperor’s mind writings. He’s a physicist.
The 50-100 year timeframe I gave earlier is somewhere in the neighbourhood of singularity initialisation.
