Hi Russell Standish 1) Introspection is subjective because it is only only available to me: it is personal and private (1p), not public (3p).
2) Computers are 3p cannot read my 1p mind.

By contrast, I suspect it is one of the most objective features of consciousness - we can test it with things like the mirror test. We can know when other animals exhibit introspection, whilst still retaining doubt about their phenomenal consciousness. 2) Why do you think computers can only think objectively? Bruno, of course, argues the opposite, although from with the assumption of COMP. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics [email protected] University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
