fair enough. i was told that by a old/english scholar and i checked wiki sample text to confirm, but i must have been mistaken.

>Middle English is much more similar to modern English than Classical Chinese is to modern Chinese (of any variety), for the obvious reason that Middle English is separated from modern English by less than half the period separating Classical Chinese from modern Chinese.

i think it depends on the specific text in question, but i'm drawing blanks because im not very informed on old lit in general. again tang poems are taught at an early age, but perhaps most text would be harder to read

misread, my bad; but i remain suspicious because from what i've heard the latin grammar is something quite alien, but then again i heard it from an english speaker....

your last sentence is inaccurate: an english reader cannot read any latin at all naively, but a modern chinese reader can interpret little/some/most of classical chinese, depending on the specific text in question

not sure if serious but this sounds like trying to learn english via python syntax

as to whether it is conscious or not influences whether you would want to model it a-la 3d physics engine, or if not then perhaps there is a more elegant solution we do not know of yet

"Mr. Soros is a philanthropist."

also note that Soro's position isn't to inform a position on which Facebook should proceed with community guidelines, but instead he just wants to replace the heads of the company for whatever reasons. very helpful!

good point you raise: this statement is very behaviorist in leaning, and ignores human psychology, but perhaps this is to do with pragmatic reasons

it might be more accurate to say (as a hypothesis), is that whatever this "inner monologue" thing is, people don't seem to experience it the same, even if it does exist/not-exist

shhh don't tell him that: art is partially self contradictory anyhow

it is consistent for someone to procrastinate and work on something for a long time: you work for a long time while putting little effort. perhaps this was the intended interpretation?

>very small children spending a lot of their time learning basic concepts of cause and effect, properties of objects, materials and physics and so on.

i do not believe that young children explicitly/consciously simulate in their minds to learn cause and effect and other things, though this might be up for debate

maybe, but any regular human being might not want to play your stupid word game which isn't even fun at all asides for the AI researcher.

nitpicking here, but Cogito Ergo Sum (“I think, therefore I am”) has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. in modern vernacular you might translate it as "i percieve/witness therefore i exist"

is there a similar analysis of google/facebook/instagram?
