Hi Brent,

    Could you elaborate on this comment?

I thought it was obvious. A (material) living thing can be more successful reproducing if it can internally manipulate representations of things in the world, i.e. think and plan, such as counting them, adding and subtracting. See the book by William S. Cooper which I have cited before.
