Re: What Computationalism is and what it is *not*

At the risk of digressing...

Here are two questions to ponder:

Can the entire collection of minds (human at least) that exists be
simulated as one computer? That is, is it possible to design a
computer such that it behaves exactly like the whole of "intellectual
existence" does?

conversely, is it possible to bring together currently existing minds
to behave exactly like a HUGE computer? (this questin has a much more
practical and "sinister" motive)

any takers?
