simply natural processes that will be explained by neuroscience some day
overrated
the only things that distinguishes humans from computers
7
For Locke, a person who does not remember committing a crime due to an altered state of consciousness (from Lecture 4.2)

computers will never have the ability to think
it shows computers can think (now that computers have passed the test)
computers will never be able to fool humans

if we are not careful, computers will take over
a computer’s intelligence is an illusion for it only manipulates symbols
a computer can understand, have intentions, and desires
