intelligence etc.

why are people so keen on this idea of not being able to understand (and ultimately program) intelligence/consciousness?

like anyone that parrots that rubbish from alan watts and penrose who ham fistedly misapply zen stuff or godels theorem.

great post you really contributed to the thread

So why presume or not presume of aliens in the universe, deny God, waste money on seti, ALL WHILE IF YOU OPENED YOUR EYES STUDIED THE BOOKS AND HARD REASONING THAT WE HAVE BEEN FOR CENTURIES NOW AND ESPECIALLY OF LAST AND CURRENT CENTURY BEEN VISITED AND TAMPERED WITH (ABDUCTIONS ETC) BY ALIENS COMMONLY KNOWN AS GRAYS AND EVEN ALL SORTS OF OTHER TYPES
EVOLUTION(A CREATIVE PROCESS SET IN MOTION BY A OUT OF TIME AND SPACE OMNI-EVERYTHING BEING DURRR RETARD) DOESN'T WORK THE SAME WAY ON DIFFERENT PLANETS, THERE ARE NO NORDIC HUMAN LIKE BEINGS OUT THERE, ONLY LITTLE GRAY BEINGS THAT WANT YOUR GENES FOR MINDLESS HYBRIDS (MINDLESS AS NO SOUL)

The world is rational.
Human reason can, in principle, be developed more highly (through certain techniques).
There are systematic methods for the solution of all problems (also art, etc.).
There are other worlds and rational beings of a different and higher kind.
The world in which we live is not the only one in which we shall live or have lived.
There is incomparably more knowable a priori than is currently known.
The development of human thought since the Renaissance is thoroughly intelligible (durchaus einsichtige).
Reason in mankind will be developed in every direction.
Formal rights comprise a real science.
Materialism is false.
The higher beings are connected to the others by analogy, not by composition.
Concepts have an objective existence.
There is a scientific (exact) philosophy and theology, which deals with concepts of the highest abstractness; and this is also most highly fruitful for science.
Religions are, for the most part, bad– but religion is not.

How old are you, kid? 13? 14? Here's some advice: stop shitposting and forget about this textboard. And any other internet forums. It will do you a lot of good in the long run.

Because there is no "definition "intelligence/consciousness". You can't understand undefined things. Same for "God", you can't understand or reason about, because it is just an undefined word.

Regarding "creator" - your mom is your creator.

Godel proved that math can't prove anything. What we need is love.

Bullshit harder you dumb anti-intellectual fascist.

By all means, please define intelligence in such a way that we can reduce the complexity of intelligence and therefore implement it in terms of digital logic. I'm very sure the guys at MIT's AI lab would love to work with this definition that they haven't been able to define since 1970.

It makes them feel special. How would they feel special of they were just a complex machine?
