I think Scott (who wrote that in 2014) needs to read this symposium article. He knows something about - and may be considered an expert in - computational complexity (classical and quantum), but he doesn't know much more than anyone else outside his specialty, especially - he doesn't know much about the subject of consciousness. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
