Sorry, I am not going to answer to your whole post, because frankly the points you make are not very interesting to me.

OK, take the sentence: 'Not all sentences have unambigous truth values - by the way you won't be able to determine that this sentence doesn't have a unambigous truth value by using a computer ' The same paradox applies but the statement is clearly practically true because it has no unambigous answer.

So transistor count and smartness are the same? So if I have 10^^^^100 transistors that compute while(true) then you have something that is unimaginable much smarter than a human?

The definition of a computer is that it precisely carries out the instructions it is given.

This doesn't relate to whether it carries out the instructions it is given at all. benjayk -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Simple-proof-that-our-intelligence-transcends-that-of-computers-tp34330236p34340705.html Sent from the Everything List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
