@CadeMetz If Paul Allen would ring up philosopher John Searle in Berkeley, Searle would be able to explain to him why the digital computational route to consciousness won't work. Searle's points: A) Syntax is insufficient for generating semantics, and B) Simulation is not duplication.

@CadeMet This latest attempt to digitally duplicate the human mind is doomed to failure, like all previous efforts. THE BRAIN IS NOT A DIGITAL COMPUTER. Digital syntactical strings are insufficient to generate semantics. No semantics, no common sense.
