What makes you say that "you will not find many real answers about the
dynamics of cognition"? You have tried?
Yes, in the mid-1990's (when I was working in a psych dept as a cog sci
research fellow), I tried pretty hard... I got to a certain point, found
big gaps, and filled them in with non-human-cognition-based stuff ... that's
the approach that led to the Webmind design, NOvamente's (inferior)
predecessor...
And on the basis of your failure, you conclude that no other attempt
will succeed? Hardly an argument.
Also, if you think, today, that the best that can be done is to glue
together Baars and Edelman's theories, it sounds like you were not even
close to the kind of approach that I am talking about anyway, so your
conclusions about your own effort may not carry over.
