Intelligence is the most advanced thing that has evolved from the universe.Behold the Most Complicated Object in the Known UniverseIt matters because it is true and it goes to my point that creation of intelligence is the purpose of the universe.You are kidding, right?
Do you know that they can't even identify where consciousness resides in the brain? It's not understood how clusters of neurons from the diverse regions of the brain collaborate to form consciousness. There's no evidence that there is one site for consciousness. They think it is truly a collective neural effort.
And you are still going to play games, bro? C'mon. Elevate your game and have a real discussion.
And still you refuse to define the evolutionary advancement you are talking about. "Elevate your game"? If you can't provide a definition for the basic premise of your argument, perhaps you are the one who need to "elevate your game."
Also, yet again, what does it matter if consciousness is the most "evolutionary advanced" thing humanity is aware of? How does that make it the most "evolutionary advanced" thing in the universe? Are you honestly trying to claim that humanity is aware of everything in the universe to know that nothing else could be more "evolutionary advanced"?
My worldview doesn't require me to ignore the reality around me. No wonder you get "F"'s.
Aren't you ignoring the fact that you don't know what is in most of the universe? Or is that not reality for some reason?
And you still have not explained what you mean by "evolutionary advanced." Does it mean the most complex? Highest on the food chain?
Did you miss the use of the phrase "known universe"? Do you understand that indicates the most complicated object that humanity is aware of, and not the most complicated object in the entire universe? Are you also aware that the words "complicated" and "advanced" are not the same? I've asked you repeatedly how you are defining "evolutionary advanced." Does this mean you are defining it to mean "complicated"?
There's also the fact that this statement is most likely a bit flippant, and does not adequately define the terms being used. For example, are the brains of other animals all less complex than a human brain? I've seen the long finned pilot whale estimated to have twice as many neurons in the cerebral cortex as humans.
How is object being defined? Wouldn't an entire human being be more complex than just a human brain? What about the population of the planet, made up of billions of humans, not to mention all the other life forms? Wouldn't the Earth be more complex than just a brain?
But again, however object and complexity are being defined, that quote from Kaku is about the known universe. I am pretty confident that Mr. Kaku would readily admit there are vast amounts of things in the universe that humanity does not know about.
Other than other intelligence you can't postulate anything which would be more advanced.
You make nit picky arguments.
