Hey guys. I'm going to have another break from the thread to get my head down a bit more on my course. Everything I cover is fascinating like I watched a little taster youtube video about epistemology, comparing Empiricists Locke (Tabula Rasa - blank slate) and Hume, Rationalist Descartes (concepts not requiring experience... such as maths etc), and neither empiricist nor rationalist, Kant and gotta say that based on first impressions, I totally identify with Kant's position (though the others make good points too... they just neither represent the whole picture imo)... Kant arguing for certain innate concepts such as causality. I couldn't agree more because specifics aside, there are two principle things any NN does... or indeed even just a single neuron connected up to many inputs let alone millions of them chained together... just by virtue of their structure; extract patterns and associate coincidences... and that's all that's needed to represent causality. So specific nervous system evolutions aside (different species etc) imo all brains have that innate bias of being causality detectors just by virtue of using neurons. So as it stands I'm looking forward to reading more of what Kant has to say.
Anyway, you guys seems to be having fun talking inexplicable (to me) quantum shit So I'll leave you to it and catch up with you sometime down the line... laters
