<\/em>Yes, Your Brain Certainly Is a Computer <\/a><\/p>\n

The empty brain<\/a>– Your brain does not process information, retrieve knowledge or store memories. In short: your brain is not a computer<\/p>\n

Det h\u00e4r inl\u00e4gget (p\u00e5 Facebook) blev riktigt intressant tack vare ett motinl\u00e4gg (se ovan hur det tv\u00e5 artiklar st\u00e4lls mot varandra). Uppenbarligen har de tv\u00e5 kontrahenterna olika positioner. Utan att ha granskat deras olika st\u00e5ndpunkter i detalj s\u00e5 tycks de drivas av olika ismer – idealism vs materialism. Det finns dock ett problem i b\u00e4gge dessa artiklar d\u00e5 vi \u00f6nskar \u00f6vers\u00e4tta engelskans ”computer” till svenskans ”dator”, dvs n\u00e5gon\/n\u00e5got som genomf\u00f6r ber\u00e4kningar. D\u00e5 Turing la fram sin tes gjorde man skillnad p\u00e5 analoga och digitala ”computers”. En distinktion som idag k\u00e4nns otydlig, d\u00e5 teknik (os\u00e4ker p\u00e5 vilken distinktion man g\u00f6r inom datavetenskapen) i princip raderat behovet av m\u00e4nniskor som kan utf\u00f6ra ber\u00e4kningar i ”huvudet”. Datorn g\u00f6r det s\u00e5 bra utan m\u00e4nniskans medverkan (jfr diskussionen m minir\u00e4knare i skolan). Tydligen kan datorn hitta m\u00f6nster och ”l\u00e4ra” mha igenk\u00e4nning, men steget till att k\u00e4nna\/uppleva mening \u00e4r n\u00e5got som \u00e4r f\u00f6rborgat m\u00e4nniskors hj\u00e4rnor. D\u00e4rf\u00f6r tycker jag begreppet ”dator” \u00e4r en d\u00e5lig metafor f\u00f6r att diskutera hj\u00e4rnans funktion.
\nMin po\u00e4ng: ber\u00e4kningar g\u00f6r man inte f\u00f6r ber\u00e4kningens egen skull. Det finns alltid ett syfte (mening).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
