Not malicious, but selfish.God is whoever he is, so our wishes or stories Don't matter. The intelligence created in our particular box either passes the test or is cast aside. Intelligence is such a chaotic thing that getting it right is all but unpredictable, so what better way than to create a box where it emerges naturally and pick from the examples that you liked. By the way I read all the posts after I posted, not before .
I still like string theory because gravity popped out of it without any tinkering. Why else would Physicists spend 30 years chasing something like Abe's white whale?
Thanks, interesting!
I am quoting Descartes and all the discussion around “cogito ergo sum”. Since I accept his conclusion, your suggestion about the motives or the characterization of the “God whoever he is” while novel would not be interesting. In other words, epistemology is settled, I’d rather just go straight to the science.
You however, FRiend, are extremely interesting and I would wonder how you came to the intelligence box idea as a matter of the most pleasant curiosity. I confess that I won’t take the box idea seriously, no offense FRiend, I would just assume at the outset that it is self-refuting and move on.
Thanks for commenting. Your comment was useful for an half hour of pleasant speculation, while I took a shower and dressed. Thanks and I will take note of you in future!
