why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?
RE: why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?
It's your syllogism, so I guess that's your problem? As I just explained to Bel's canned objection... the computer analogy is used to describe how some other thing does x - not to suggest that the things doing x are the same. They need only share whatever meaningful similarity is being researched. In the case of computational theories..it's computation, not the function of a semiconducter. No one expects to find an intel logo buried in our heads.

We're essentially asking ourselves whether or not mother nature uses some of the same tricks to achieve her effects as we do when we exploit her to achieve our own. So, for example..when you ask "lets say we build convincing androids" the immediate question is how we would do that, and whether those same things can also account for "the real deal"...and where we might find examples of just such a thing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
