@j_bertolotti Okay but hear me out here. We know that in the animal kingdom there is a correlation between brain cells per body mass and intelligence. I think what the AI people are talking about is getting up to the level of a human, dolphin, elephant but what you're talking about is a kind of plateau when we reach that point. In other words, brain cells do matter but with diminishing returns and where humans are already at the point of marginal (or worse) gains. You know what I mean?
Okay, I finished reading the Majjhima Nikāya this morning. That means I'm approximately half way done with the Pali Canon of #Buddhism I started in October. Next up is the Samyutta Nikāya, which academics say is the oldest layer in the collection.
@ReadingFaithfully_org Any tips on how to organizing reading on SN? I don't think I can read one entire sutra per day since some are huge, but then some sections are tiny...
@ReadingFaithfully_org Alright, this is smart. I will go with this, based on time. Perfect. Thank you. That was helpful. I didn't think of it myself! I'll take a look at your post.
