Embodied cognition

18.

Human intelligence
is embodied.

It is a function of biology,
of living in and interacting
with the physical world.

Breakthroughs don’t come
from connecting zeroes and ones.

They come
from connecting neurons.

19.

Having access to knowledge
on an external server
does not equal being intelligent.

Having taste
comes from storing and processing
at least part of that knowledge
in the brain.

Our organic chips
are still the future.

20.

Human intelligence
is not a language model.

Human intelligence
is not a spatial orientation model.

Human intelligence
is living in the real world
with a body operated by nature.

A machine will never know
what it means to be human,
no matter how much human knowledge
it stores.

There is no nature, there’s only this planet on which we all live.
