    Ok, so I can’t tell if you’re trolling or being intentionally dense for the sake of outrage.

    Zarobi commented on why it’s called The Chinese Room Experiment, which is because they use Chinese characters as the basis of information passed between outside and inside.

    Chinese is used as the basis of the thought experiment because it’s a notoriously difficult language to learn because there’s thousands of different characters and pronunciations. You can’t expect the occupant of the room, an English speaker, to be able to pick up on it. They could only select correct answers just by pure chance.

    The experiment wouldn’t work with other languages that share a Latin or Germanic base as the occupant could, with some effort, puzzle out some of the words. For example:

    In either case, I can’t really take you seriously when your profile picture is from that scene in Clerks 2

    For those who haven’t seen Clerks 2

      So, being rude, hurling insults and calling other users stupid is okay as long as you dont like the person theyre insulting? Coolcoolcool, real objective and fair application of the established rules. Easy to see why you’re a mod.

        Bro, you need to chill. My point is you’re being obtuse and making a mountain out of nothing. Meanwhile you’re crying racism while having one of the most racist (albeit the origin is meant in a satirical sense) clips/quotes from that movie as your bio.
