Kurzweil is always an interesting read.

Are you saying there is some kernel deep in our thinking that is outside of the regular physical world? I think there is little evidence for that.

Just came back from the Convergence conference in Mountain View and there were some really provocative ideas from Monica Anderson about how simple, evolution-driven processes could form the building blocks of a thinking machine. She felt that the reductionist approach was misguided and that clearly human awareness has come about from fairly basic, intuitive processes in the brain.

How does this account for the qualia or “what it is like-ness” of consciousness? If intellect and consciousness is purely an algorithmic process then where does first person experience come from?
