  • I would be interested in hearing of any country with the sheer volume of immigrants that the US has from every continent. We have migrants from every European nation, africa (including modern african culture, not just the results of the slave trade and imancipation), asian immigrants, including China, Japan, Veitnamese, Indian, even indigenous peoples as far as Oceania. And every culture is represented in our own, much to the dismay of those that believe our great works came solely from white hands. Our democracy is founded on a melting pot of ideas and inputs, not a euro-centric empire graciously allowing “lesser men” in it’s borders.



  • Yet language and abstraction are the core of intelligence. You cannot have intelligence without 2 way communication, and if anything, your brain contains exactly that dictionary you describe. Ask any verbal autistic person, and 90% of their conversations are scripted to a fault. However, there’s another component to intelligence that the Turing Test just scrapes against. I’m not philosophical enough to identify it, but it seems like the turing test is looking for lightning by listening for rumbling that might mean thunder.
