I have posted on the past that I STRONGLY suspect that what we perceive as consciousness isn't anything at all like what is really happening. Specifically, a massively parallel process comes to a decision, but all we perceive is the single tiny thread that succeeded in intersecting with one possible solution, while the remaining 99.9999% of the process, along with other potential solutions, remains completely invisible to us. > and/or > This experience (whatever you want to call it) can therefore occur in > a computer program? So, armed with this grossly oversimplified perception, people attempt to write programs to do the same things with 0.0001% of what is needed to do the job. Lotsa luck. Are we on the same page here?
