>> My point, and this us the absolute last time I will say it here, is that there is no reason whatsoever to think that thinking, consciousness, intentionality, and related mental capacities must have a biological instantiation.<<
So far that is what it is limited to. My point is that either it is biological or a cybernetic organism. It seems to me that is the world we live in. I think another major point is that traditional cognitive and computational approaches to AI have failed so miserably, why not try something different and admit the limitations?
