Nanograte, you seem to use "rational" oddly. Almost as if it's a synonym for "pragmatic." That's not what I was trying to say at all.
In the sense I had in mind, the word means "possessing higher reasoning powers," as in the phrase, "man is a rational animal." I paired it with "sapient" because that's a similar concept. I did *not* mean "strictly logical" or "hyper-practical" or "single-minded and obsessive" or "amoral" or "rigid." ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T6cada473e1abac06-M86277be3ece1a0ee9cc25ad5 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
