Currently very interested in John von Neumann: Why does complexity in nature grow (e.g., a seed into a tree), while isolated man-made systems tend towards decay (complex factory to less complex car)? Von Neumann’s solution is the universal constructor, which describes the minimum requirements for a process to allow for non-degenerating complexity. Its three components…
My take on debunking the classical view of intelligence: “He/She must know better than I do because he/she is so intelligent.””The person just isn’t intelligent enough.””You need to have a certain intelligence for…” They all go in the direction of some human minds being more universal than others.
