Which is better designed, the brain or the computer ?
- Thread starter FearGod

My money is on the brain, despite its numerous programming & hardware defects. The operating system boots up more easily in the morning.
You assume facts not in evidence. "Better designed" assumes "designed"; why do you assume that the brain is designed?
And just so you know, "____ would be impressive if it was designed" does not imply "____ is designed."

Do you think the undesigned brain is better than the computer or the contrary is correct ?
The brain is infinitely more complex and amazing. We can easily reduce everything a computer does and understand it perfectly.
Depends on what aspects of performance we are measuring. Man-made computers are significantly better at performing complex numerical calculations, simulating physics (fluid dynamics comes to mind) and storing information for long periods of time without it being altered than the human brain is. On the other hand, the human brain is far more adaptable (it can reprogram itself) and creative than modern computers.
"Better" in what sense? My computer works at - 40 C and +60 C, but my brain starts to misbehave if it gets even a few degrees off 37 C. In that sense, the computer's better. My computer also has more USB ports.
You've never used Windows NT then.
Your brains ports are more.....no....not going there.

What if in water ?
Do we need to put fans in our brains to work and to make some holes for ventilation ?
Oh you'll get no argument from me that the human brain can store much more information than a modern computer of equal size. The information in a human brain, however, is subject to constant change and does not have the stability that a computer has. Memories can and do get altered. Computers, not so much (unless there is some kind of damage done to it).
@Wirey has a zipper to access his brain. He's off getting it tailored right now.
Brains don't work well in water. They need oxygenated blood.
No - our brains are liquid-cooled. More complex, with more potential for failure.

And which do you think is more complex the evolved brain or the designed computer ?

Which is better designed? The waffle iron or the cantaloupe?
The brain seems more complex to me. For instance, it appears to be the brain of a reptile overlaid by the brain of a mammal, overlaid by the brain of a primate. That is, there is an older part of it that resembles the brains of reptiles. A somewhat newer part that resembles the brains of lower-order mammals. And an even newer part that resembles the brains of higher-order primates.
