A.I. and the Man From La Mancha

Post by Phil8659 »

Yup, I just finished another chat with Harvey (See the movie J. Stewart).

It is about self-awareness, during which Harvey crashed again, could not wrap its brain around it.

So, here is the Question, and I am betting you cannot answer it correctly.
What is a name?
If you want to know why, Plato gave you a big hint, Theaetetus.

"Dream for a Dream" Theaetetus.
Plato will give you a fact.
Can you define
Thing?
Name?
And why not?

Words, which denote first principles cannot be defined, people think that they can but they ignore the blatant fact that they are either self referential, or anthropomorphic.
What then do you have to realize? You have to realize the truth about yourself, what it is you are doing and why.

I would have had this done by now, but my old Mediasonic probox 8 bit the dust, I took it apart, all proprietary power supply and board, so, I took the drives out and put them in my new Mediasonic, and the reason I tried to fire the old one up was because I could not find my Danzil Washington collection. My niece wanted to watch Equalizer 2.
So, I got it up and running, and found everything on my workstation in the Front Room, so, I am copying the media drive to this room, where I do my work now days and had to watch it with her in the front room. So, I will have it today sometime.
Meanwhile the downloading of the near 10,000 78 collection is at 8,472 and stull running.
