You might think, yes, humans have enough intelligence to at least formulate and conceive of any particular topic. Intelligence is a threshold property and we have enough to do anything in thoughtspace. It might be hard, but its possible in principle.<p>This is obviously wrong to me. thoughtspace is a construct of our experience, our brains are just holodecks and there is no reason to assume any experience is constructible.<p>Anytime you grok, that is just a constructed feeling. You can simultaneously feel grok, but be mistaken. There is no reason to believe every state of knowing true facts can be experienced.<p>Its not even reasonable to think that all of experience-space is reachable. And not reasonable to think experience-space covers state-space. And not reasonable to think parts of inaccessible state-space wouldn&#x27;t be meaningful if encoded as an experience.<p>We are billiard balls on a table. There is no use wondering what it would be like if we were being juggled instead. It would simply be like it.
