You're not sure if you're a robot? Sheesh, Ravi's going to have fun with that. I think I know I'm not. I think you know you're not too. I think we know that prior to anything else we know. That's probably prior in the sense of "logically prior". If you were a robot you could not *believe* anything. Or *have a view*. Only a robot containing a homunculus can do that. My computer has no homunculus. It doesn't know it's not a person. It not even "doesn't know 'nuttin'". It simply *isn't*.
