Rationalism about computers
* Select the correct answer into all dropdown fields. You need to answer all questions before clicking verify button.
A zero–ended rationalism about computers is that they only do what they are programmed to. The reasoning goes something like this: If one incorporates into a computer the capability to the meaning and function of the symbols representing 'two', 'multiply' and 'equals to' then it would have no problem solving the equation : 2 x 2 =? But how different is this really from what a child learns in grade school? It's exactly the same. There can definitely be no in certain children to be better in maths than others since arithmetic even at a lowly human level is, after all, only an acquired trait and acquired traits are not inherited. However, what has been missing so far in the environment of a computer is the role of a family and the nurture it provides for a predisposition. This is because genetically, some children could have stronger musculature to become better cricketers or actors but only when given the ambient training. The answer therefore lies not in suddenly blitzing a super computer's hardware memory and logic bank its equivalent of musculature with the rules and of some table game, but to bring it home as a baby.
