If understanding language and other phenomena through statistical analysis does not count as true understanding, then humans have no understanding either." (Kurzweil 7) > "This is what we invent tools-to compensate for our shortcomings." (Kurzweil 27) > "There are [multiple] skills that contribute to degrees of competency . . . such as confidence, organizational skills, and the ability to influence others." (Kurzweil 112) > "A mouse that finds an escape route when conronted with the household cat . . . is being creative. Our own creativity is orders of magnitude greater than that . . . because we have a much larger neocortex, which is capable of greater levels of hierarchy. . . . One approach to expand the available neocortex is through the collaboration of multiple humans." (Kurzweil 116) > "At the far end of the story of love, a loved one becomes a major part of our neocortex. After decades of being together, a virtual other exists in the neocortex such as we can anticipate every step of what our lover will say and do. Our neocortical patterns are filled with the thoughts and patterns that reflect who they are. When we lose that person, we literally lose part of ourselves. . . . The vast neocortical patterns of a lost loved one turn suddenly from triggers of delight to triggers of mourning." (Kurzweil 119-120)
