Ray Kurzweil Responds to “Ray Kurzweil does not understand the brain”
Quotes:
I mentioned the genome in a completely different context. I presented a number of arguments as to why the design of the brain is not as complex as some theorists have advocated.
It is true that the brain gains a great deal of information by interacting with its environment – it is an adaptive learning system.
As for where is the design of the brain located: The original source of that design is the genome (plus a small amount of information from the epigenetic machinery)…
Then he spends a few paragraphs explaining the motivation and hints at a route for accomplishing his goal.
Finally: Linear thinking about the future is hardwired into our brains.
Previously, and in blue.
