Sure it is. Maybe one day we have such a conversation in person.

Hey @marketingmonk, I loved your analogy with the philosophical problem of abortion (or the emergence of life). Thoughtful of​ you, as usual. Just two questions​: ​is the abortion​ of the lightning network

Enjoy it! It's really nice!

Thank for your feedback and advice. I'll work on it!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm looking forward to reading your paper. Where can I find it?

The question is not about a definition of 'thinking'. We can define it as we want for many different proposes. Searle's argument is direct to challenge the idea according to which a machine can think

It's disappointing, isn't it?

Ok. Thanks!

That's a good point. It seems to make room for the idea according to which 'education' should be (if necessary) supported by something else. Some principle of 'justice', maybe.

Thanks!

Nice shot!

people know exactly how to make fun of things! Thank you for your feedback!
