True.  However, the failure of a few efforts to make progress in a
direction does not imply that the direction is a dead end.  I will be
addressing this issue in a future video in the series.

Exactly so.  As stated in "Life and Death", the principal research
objective of HALy is for it to be able to formulate and explain its
reasons.  I feel that the domain of Go is a useful microworld for
experimenting with perception and reasoning representations.

Yes indeed.  This suggests that science is just beginning to discover that
philosophical intuitions about consciousness based on no experimentation at
all are mere speculations.

I am unaware of any chemicals that could viably substitute for doing a bit
of homework.  I would be happy to explain any specific issues outside the
domain of computer go that you do not understand if you raise them in a
YouTube comment.  I am aware that the video touches on several myths whose
historical origins and current implications are not common knowledge.
