Yes, and I think of consciousness as an essential side-effect of the computation, as addition is an essential side-effect of the sum of two numbers. But I don't have a clear idea of what a Platonic object actually *is*: all I can think about are the shadows of the Platonic forms encountered in the physical world. -- Stathis Papaioannou --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
