[FRIAM] A Question For Tomorrow

[uǝlƃ ☣]

You're trolling me, aren't you? 8^) I can't help myself, though.

It's not an exclusive or you've laid out. Some of us will have fast memory that works well in common sense space and time.  Some of us will have DSPs that work well in other conceptions (I'm thinking of Hawking, here). Etc. And while it's plausible that we stumble on innovative models (ways to think) that no human or animal could ever have had the means for programming their DSP, *eventually* [†] some clique of the population will develop DSPs for that way of thinking.

I'm blind to the stumbling block you see, I guess.

[†] Assuming we don't kill ourselves, of course.

Or we are totally driven and our experiments are fate.  In one case humans can't engage their special-purpose DSPs (so to speak) and fast thinking is useless -- we aren't equipped to function efficiently in that alien world.  In the latter case, it just doesn't matter what we calculate.    I think the potential for cognitive dissonance here is pretty clear.
