But a biological system like a horse or human body is far more complex than a
car. So simpler and more efficient subsystems were utlized. The brain is far
more complex and redundant than an intelligent agent NEEDS to be, so why not
build on simpler subsystems? The design features of the human mind/brain are
constrained by the available toolkit (the genome) and its phylogenetic and
ontogenetic history. We are blessed with forethought and an unlimited toolkit.
We are allowed to tinker in myriad ways; why not try? In fact, it will
probably be a lot easier to start from scratch than to try to emulate the
mind/brain of H. sapiens.
