Philosophical Implications

“Once you know the rules of the game, you can change them”

How could we be able to understand ourselves, when we use ourselves to understand
ourselves? Because we have mirrors. Other people can be these mirrors. Artificial systems can
be also these mirrors. But now we can control Artificial Societies, and cannot other people that
easily. And once we understand our reflections, we will understand ourselves33.

At the same time we are understanding human behaviour, intelligence, and mind, we
are being able to simulate it. Cognitive science is widening our horizons, questioning many
philosophical concepts. If we comprehend how, biologically and/or artificially, we are able to
reason, know, imagine, believe; it will definitely shake philosophy from its roots, as it is already
beginning to.

As we, on one hand, understand and manipulate nature, and on the other hand, we are
able to simulate it; what would be the difference between artificial and natural systems? Only
the ones determined by our prejudices.

But once we are able to comprehend cognition, we will be able to simulate it, imitate it,
change it, improve it, and create it.

33We can see part of ourselves without reflections. But we need them if we want to understand ourselves
more completely.
