Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 scientific credibility? If it does, the extension of the logic would be that if one were to create a computer processor configured exactly like a human brain, one could theoretically create a "mind". Fascinating stuff.

Fascinating stuff. 355298[/snapback] It's not that it isn't credible; the fundamental basis is sound. But the speculation, while credible, is certainly aggressive. I'd say the idea, while far from being something that can be considered a workable theory, is interesting and well-founded enough to be worth serious investigation.

DID I consider a real albiet poorly understood syndrome...but the speculative result the article draws is pretty far out there, though not an unfounded speculation and worth investigation.
