@mtrc thus, I ask: is it possible to construct an algorithm that allows a person with normal human cognitive abilities and tendencies (and they possibly have access to excessive computer processing power) the ability to converse in Toki Pona and guarantee that they never accidentally learn any of it at all not even how to say a basic greeting without the aid of the algorithm? (4/4)

@mtrc one might propose we pick a dignified language with a complex history and lots of sophisticated characters and so on but I believe we wouldn't know for sure because we'd be relying on underestimating John Searle's cognitive abilities, and as my grandma always said never bet against John Searle (my grandma never said this but suppose she did for the sake of rigor).
So I propose instead, we select Toki Pona for this thought experiment instead as it's known for being fairly simple (3/)

@mtrc and let's also suppose that through a series of improbable events we have been tasked with the improbable task of creating an algorithm for John Searle to execute that simulates being a fluent speaker in a given language, but it is absolutely paramount that we do not accidentally teach John Searle how to read or speak the language under any circumstances, such that he can converse in the language but may never understand it. (2/)

@mtrc ok how about this: Suppose through some exciting new developments we created a way of perfectly simulating John Searle from an old MRI or something which includes handily accomplishing all facets of the human experience including but not limited to the ability to learn, understand information and context, be curious, experience boredom, live, laugh, love, and so on.

@saxifraga I like a lot of the answers! I use Pixelfed, NodeBB, WordPress, Surf, and a few other federated services.
