Quotes

• “We really have to think of reasoning the way we think of romance, it takes two to tango. There has to be a communication.”
• “We now understand how very complex and even apparently intelligent phenomena, such as genetic coding, the immune system, and low-level visual processing, can be accomplished without a trace of consciousness. But this seems to uncover an enormous puzzle of just what, if anything, consciousness is for. Can a conscious entity do anything for itself that an unconscious (but cleverly wired up) simulation of that entity couldn't do for itself?”
• “I think religion for many people is some sort of moral viagra.”
• “Not a single one of the cells that compose you knows who you are, or cares.”
• “Go ahead and believe in God, if you like, but don't imagine that you have been given any grounds for such a belief by science.”
• “Homunculi are bogeymen only if they duplicate entire the talents they are rung in to explain. If one can get a team or committee of relatively ignorant, narrow-minded, blind homunculi to produce the intelligent behaviour of the whole, this is progress.”
