    Human brains are just an algorithm, in fairness. Just a vastly more complex and different one than anything we’ve made or probably even imagined so far.

        Geez, you’re coming at me pretty hard here on the basis of fucking little.

        “in fairness” is not a Redditism, it existed long before Reddit. It’s a figure of speech that intends to convey that I respect the overall sentiment, but that I believe there is a counterpoint that still deserves recognition.

        I doubt anybody ever claimed brains are fire or wheels or clockwork. I’d argue the general definition of an algorithm is “bunch of steps that will go from A to B”, and yes, the brain does indeed do that because reality does that. I’m not arguing it’s like a computer program, or like AI, or whatever.
