I never suggested that it was one or the other.

I think it's very obviously both.

(and these two qualities are likely necessary, but not sufficient)

So according to you there is a threshold where someone who can't remember enough or correlate things stops being human?

  • Stops exhibiting human intelligence, on at least some of the many axes thereof, yes definitely.

    I feel like you're trying to gotcha me into some corner, but I'm not sure you're reading my comments fully. Or perhaps I'm being less clear than I think.

    I don't mean to be ungracious, but am I missing something here?

    • It's not a gotcha, I just don't think you're thinking through the implications of what you're saying when you think only in terms of being able to fake thought with statistics.
