G'day Arie, You have to be very careful about listening to things Ray Kurzweil says when he's talking about the brain, etc.
I would think it would be better to listen to someone actually conducting brain/AI research, for example, Jeff Hawkins. His company Numenta seems to be making great progress with HTM which he outlined in his book 'On Intelligence'. Papers are also available on numenta.com Now I'm really not top notch on my computer science/math and AI, but from what I understand of HTM, which is based off the biological structure of the brain, I think that saying the brain is like a LISP processor doesn't make sense. But of course I haven't watched the video, so he may explain his reasoning. But without a bigger context I'm very doubtful of such statements. Thanks for the link though, I will look at it later.
