Hi Jason Resch Good point, but I was thinking of a perceiving/feeling subject.

Thus only living entities can have ingtelligence. A bacterium thus has more intel;ligence than a computer, even the largest in the world. Your proof is missing a step: showing why computers cannot have an aware subject Another problem is that your assumption that the ability to choose requires consciousness means that deep blue (which chooses optimum chess moves), and Watson (who chose categories and wagers in?eopardy) are conscious. ? don't dispute that they may be?onscious, but if they are that contradicts the objective of your proof. ?f you still maintain that they are not conscious, despite their ability to choose, then there must be some error in your argument.
