AI - Do humans think algorithmically?

Of course they are. Suicide doesn't have to be initiated by depression. A soldier may jump on a grenade to save his comrades. Somehow, suicide is heroic when the good guys do it but crazy when the Japanese or Muslims do it.

I hope you're being ironic.The kamikazes were not trying to "murder" any more than the SBD's and TBDs were trying to murder. Both sides were trying to win the war and, in the long run, save lives.Edited by ringo, : fixed quote

The kamikaze was much like the soldier who jumps on a grenade. He wasn't about "sowing the horror of shock and terror that facing a human bomb elicits in people." He wanted to destroy an enemy ship before it destroyed the ships on his side. Typical soldier, slightly different attitude toward death. Which is not what I said. It's a typical right-wing knee-jerk reaction to "Muslim", which is what I said.But my point was that riVeRraT was wrong about suicide. It isn't something that a machine can not do.Suicide is more complicated than some people think.

Exactly. But they are NOT the poster boys of suicide in general.

I just watched Midway the other day.SBD = dive bomber ("Scout Bomber Douglas")
TBD = torpedo bomber ("Torpedo Bomber Douglas")

That's the equivalent of, "There are some things we just can't explain - so here's the explanation."If it's "beyond our capacity to decipher", how are you deciphering it? How are you concluding "GOD" from something you can't decipher?

Yes. It has nothing to do with dualism. I was talking about history. You should stop trying to predict what I will argue. You don't even read what I do argue. I didn't say a word about a "sane" side. If anything, I was pointing out that the sides weren't that different. I was talking about the difference between religious fanatics and kamikazes.
