Words Are Memes That Can Be Pronounced.

Human Consciousness Is Just About The Last Surviving Mystery.

If The Best The Roboticists Can Hope For Is The Creation Of Some Crude, Cheesy, Second-rate, Artificial Consciousness, They Still Win.

If The Concept Of Consciousness Were To Fall To Science, What Would Happen To Our Sense Of Moral Agency And Free Will? If Conscious Experience Were Reduced Somehow To Mere Matter In Motion, What Would Happen To Our Appreciation Of Love And Pain And Dreams And Joy? If Conscious Human Beings Were Just Animated Material Objects, How Could Anything We Do To Them Be Right Or Wrong?

What You Can Imagine Depends On What You Know.

There Is No Polite Way To Suggest To Someone That They Have Devoted Their Life To A Folly.
