I too am a dualist. I believe that John K Clark's brain and even his entire body is not identical with John K Clark, and I believe that because I believe in something far far more fundamental, nouns and adjectives are not identical. > Even better as a improvement over Dr. Turing's Test, would be "I want you > to live." Saying "I want to live" means nothing, its actions that count. As I mentioned before from the early 1970's deep space probes have been going into "safe mode" and stop collecting scientific data and doing anything else except for things that prolong its existence (like maintaining its communication link) when it detects something unusual that it thinks might be dangerous. > If this isn't faked by a clever developer, > That's not a very profound insight. If you want to know if the Goldbach conjecture is true just read a proof of the Goldbach conjecture, if it isn't faked.
