'[No] one supposes that a computer simulation of a storm will leave us all wet. ... Why on earth would anyone in his right mind suppose a computer simulation of mental processes actually had mental processes?'
– John #Searle, 1983
@PeterSjostedtH I also like the analogy with kidney function and urination, I heard in an episode of phil for our times. Anyhow, fascinating questions, surrounding 'consciousness' and 'mental processes'... What it 'is' and what it 'means', and whilst (re)searching these questions we cannot escape our own consciousnesses. I try to catch up a bit on the dicussions, but it is a complex business...!
@wisschrift It is a fascinating mystery.
