They suffered massive brain drain during the famines. All of the high IQ Irish moved to America while the low IQ Irish stayed behind starving.

I just proved that Kurzweil is right with his theory that the brain is just a shitload of pattern recognizers organized in complex layers.

I was driving in my car the other day and actually thought there is a old lady on the sidewalk but when I came closer I realized it is just a dumpster which looks like that from a certain point of view. I realized that my brain detects and identifies objects purely by comparing what I see with things I previously saw somewhere else and that it can fail to do so in spectacular ways. I can't stop thinking about what our brain actually is since I had this experience, we arent special, we are no smarter than today's computer's, we just use the power way more efficiently.
The thing is that I was 100% sure that it was an old lady and it reminded me of the neuronal nets confusing negros with gorialls and things like that.
What do you think /sci/, is Kurzweil the Einstein of our time? Are we going to be cyborgs soon? I hope so.
