        sorry professor but I would take out the sound effects from your talk, they don't add much and science or philosophy is no properly a fantasy

        Negative. Consciousness is nature (action-reaction) of matter. Anthropocentric bias deep in us, myth of 5 senses and natural languages obstruct to envision conscious AI. The ways of learning of man and AI are alike. If free will is absent then how anything can be autonomous? 1/n

        Regarding your comment on robots and conciousness, do you envisage a robot feeling pain? I understand conciousness as more than processing of information. I'd be grateful for your thoughts.

        Human life is viral. AI is to help us migrate to other planet on exhaustion at earth as viral colonies exhibit. Evolution is "cyclic". Arrow of evolution is mistaken. The evolution from inorganic-to-organic is to complete when organic-to-inorganic process happen. 2/n

        "Consciousness is all about control." Just a beautiful bit of imaginative projection there, from Prof Dennett. All those mechanistic, utilitarian, testosterone-driven material reductions in a five-word nutshell. How perfectly apt! Thank you!

        Are you arguing that language is a needed for foundational consciousness, a way to "notice you noticings"? You famously deny qualia, so are you suggesting that a semantic system is necessary for experience? Is the semantic system what creates the "intrinsic awfulness" of pain?

        When I learned the meaning of "I" and "me" and found that I was something, I began to think. Then consciousness first existed for me. Read deaf-mute and blind Helen Keller in http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/27683
