Daniel Dennett - Freedom Evolves - a Dangerous Idea Part 3

[mrbtardation]

Going back to snapshot of the pool example. If we look at the little robots in the brain doing their computing. Can we in theory accurately predict the thoughts and neural action he is going to have in the future? I don't think the mind even readable though. Every single one of us has his own assosiations, concepts, ideas. And each while having its similarities is developed diffirently. So it just looks like neural grid to anyone else.

This is like Ann and Beth. An authentic program versus an inauthentic program. Or its like a perfectly Iranian made counterfeit (of U.S. twenty dollar bills) versus an authentic need for electricity. The upshot is that just as a frog (in Austin Texas?) can be boiled to death via its tolerance of gradual increases of the water temperature in its bath, a great country like the U.S. could end up like that frog (The Ugly American?) if our government deals with Iranian ambitions obsequiously.
