Document Summary
Are we just meet: do we have free will, morality/ ethics, what makes society just, does life have meaning. Everything is physical- folk language- you would say you are sad not that you are missing dopamine. Two worlds: pre scientific and rational science. Used to data compression w/ laptops- don"t see anything floating into or out of computer idea of representation- very useful although it seems mystical: *writes haley on board* - it is chalk not name. People with mental disabilities could look normal but have brain disability so function different. Turing test: can you trick a human into thinking you are talking to a human rather than a machine. Reid-even if you don"t remember something it is still a part of you: common causal chain. Locke- we have a soul- source of power/battery: if you can"t remember something it is no longer part of you, want us to have memories in afterlife, not morally accountable for blackouts.
