[comp.ai.philosophy] M.Minsky's pleasure and thought comments

rtang@ds.kyoto.omronsoft.co.jp (Raymond Tang) (10/04/90)

Let me see if I understand you correctly:

Are you saying that one should look before one leaps, with regards
to thinking and liking something.
If so then the problem may be that looking first may take the fun
out of leaping.

It also appears that you derive your pleasure from thinking and analysing
things. But (from your) tone it sounds if if you also think that anything
else isnt worth doing or liking simply because you find these other activities
"only" stimulate a smaller portion of the brain.  However this portion of
the brain I feel has been belittled ;) The function this  part of the brain serves 
I feel would be a lot more complex to bestowe apon an AI machine(robot etc..) than
the analytical parts. 

If for some reason you feel offended by any of the above Mr. Minsky, 
Please feel free to post more messages to me or the board since 
I like intellectual arguments as much as the next guy.
Why?  To keep the mind alert and sharp in preparation for
future intellectual arguments?!?
