What’s a common “fact” that’s spread around that’s actually not true and pisses you off that too many people believe it?

    I don’t really see how you could make a brain out of silicone, because thought a product of cells. The cells send signals to each other, and that’s how you get thought. You could maybe grow a brain in a lab, but I don’t see how a plastic replication would work. And even if you did grow one in a lab, who knows how not being connected to a body would impact its ability to develop thought.

      well theoretically with a computer powerful enough, one can simulate all the brain cells and effectively emulate the whole brain
