>>13484978>Go to a person and keep repeating the same input to him, like repeat the word "hello" to him. You'll see his reaction becomes different.But he's not getting the exact same input, for every nth "hello" he also has memories of n-1 "hello"s, so what the brain is working with is different every time.
>YOU said that the brain is JUST chemical reactions. That means if you have chemical reactions, you have a brain. And that's absolutely retarded.>a car is a system of metal, wires, rubber and fuel which allows you to move faster>oh, so any collection of metal, wires, rubber and fuel allows you to move faster.Nobody once said that, the way the system is arranged is matters.
>a brain has language, thoughts, behavioral controls, perceptions.How are all of those expressed physically? what ARE these languages, thoughts, behavioral controls and perceptions if not the particular way the parts of your brain are arranged and interact?
If we disregard metaphysical concepts like the soul than all of those things as well as thoughts and ideas as you've mentioned are all created, stored and exist within the brain, and what else can they be if not particular arrangements and reactions within the brain?
>Once you've finished copying one part, the part that's already there will already be different. Its scale is too large.we're not talking about practical stuff, this is purely as a thought experiment, kind of like imagining how weather forecasts would be like if we knew where each and every particle is.
Imagine super powerful computers, generations of professors working on just this simulation, magic, whatever makes you more comfortable, like that joke with the spherical cow in a vacuum .
>then nothing does. It's not "only" quantum.I won't pretend to know quantum mechanics, but with larger systems we can produce finite answers, with quantum you can only talk about probability.
That's not the point anyway.
