- Thanks for the feedback, everyone. To give some context for our choices: until recently, country shapes were not the main focus of this project. For a long time, the version in the README without country borders was the only version, because we didn't think adding the entire world was feasible. Turns out, it was.
I've published a nightly version [1] that removes fjords and adds more detail elsewhere, including the much-requested islands. It also generally has a higher resolution. The reason we originally didn't do the latter is because old phones, especially those running Firefox for Android, can crash while drawing large amounts of polygons. I have since optimized the drawing procedure, but beware!

From Wikipedia:
Suppose that the program simulated in fine detail the action of every neuron in the brain of a Chinese speaker.[83][w] This strengthens the intuition that there would be no significant difference between the operation of the program and the operation of a live human brain. Not a useful definition of thinking if you ask me.
Searle replies that such a simulation does not reproduce the important features of the brain—its causal and intentional states. He is adamant that "human mental phenomena [are] dependent on actual physical–chemical properties of actual human brains."[26]
