I gave it above, you're just too dense to even begin to try to understand what I mean. If you have a specific question I'm more than happy to try and answer it.


>I gave it above

Yeah, something about "abstraction" and some hand-wavy magic, which computers are already doing.

Can you state, specifically, what part of thinking you presume computers can't do?


They cannot handle immaterial concepts such as goodness, truth, justice, etc. because such concepts are not reducible to material components. They cannot abstract at all, because to abstract something is to consider it in a universal way, leaving the material parts behind. Computers are fundamentally material, and so cannot handle any kind of immaterial concepts.
