Well thanks Godfrey. I also hope I will come to my senses. Actually I
hope I am in my senses.
And I hope you are in your senses too, or, if not, that you will come
to your senses, too.

Yes but some will think that accepting an artificial part of the brain
is much less risky when the alternative is dying and suffering
quasi-surely the next month.
Technology has already invaded the brain. Comp is already practiced.
I show that comp is falsifiable.
You pretend that the YD is already false! I can understand Quentin's
impatience.
I know already you can't be serious, because you pretend talking about
something I would not have anticipated, but you acknowledge not having
the need to read what I wrote (!?).
And at the same time you are saying something very big. To refute YD
you need to show that there are no level of description of ourselves
capable of being Turing-emulable.
You would refute my reasoning at step 0! Go ahead. You are the first
one who tries this. In general people try at least at step 3!
(I follow the numbering (8 steps) of the Universal Dovetailer Argument
like in this pdf slides:

Explanations are in the SANE paper:

Oh I see you have another post still without your argument! I will
answer it quickly because I indulge your little diversions but it is
probably a weakness of my part.
