Great discussion on this podcast:

Most of the good stuff is banned and canceled in the university.

Thanks. "How can a physical thing create a non-physical thing?" So was said of replies, "There's nothing on the table." From the older guys, Fodor, Fetzer and more, the problem has been stated many times and in many ways. There are theological types who propose their answers, but in the realm of cognitive science, nothing on that table.

The mention of Kurweil and Musk tells a tale, for intertwined are science theory and plain business fact. An element of salesmanship is always present. I suspect we homo sapiens are generations away from scratching the curtains away from this "wizard" problem.

Best wishes and thanks again for the link. I will listen to more while pruning the rose garden this day.
