Mind cannot be created

Post by bahman »

First definition of mind: Mind is essence of any being with the ability to experience, decide and act.

1) Intellect is utility of mind
2) This means that it is impossible to understand mind because intellect is utility of mind
3) This means that it is impossible to perform an act to create mind

That I knew. The problem is that you need to find an error in my reasoning.

That I knew. I am however interested that how such a thing is possible.

Again, that I knew. The problem which I raised is that we cannot know what mind is because the intellect is utility of mind hence we are not able to create something which has mind.

You have already been shown two ways we can and do create 'something which has mind.'

But since 'mind' may well be a function of a body with senses in an external environment we may well be able to use the intellect to create such a body and hence create a mind.

Do you believe if we had a machine that could arrange the molecules required to replicate a human to the atomic level, we would in fact have a human - sensing, breathing and eventually farting?

I don't recall that. Could you please direct me to the thread that I made such a claim?

Have you lived a sheltered life? ..you should know such things like psychology and neurology ..just to name a few things that spend time on researching the mind.

You are utterly clueless, and kuku!

That is the point that I am trying to reach with my argument. Is that possible that we understand how we are understanding? In fact the problem that we are dealing is much harder than that since understanding is a faculty of mind.

So your point is, that it takes a more complex intelligence to create a lower complexity intelligence? A lower complexity intelligence cannot create a higher complexity or more intelligent intelligence?
