Diachronic and synchronic linguistics »
Diachronic and synchronic linguistics
Diachronic and synchronic linguistics ☜The truth value of statements can change over time as word use changes, even though the meaning of such statements remains constant. Statements that are now false under synchronic linguistics may becomme false as revealed by diachronic linguistics. ☜FFFACD

Mind-body problem isn't a real-world problem »
Mind-body problem isn't a real-world problem
Mind-body problem isn't a real-world problem☜The mind-body problem is purely logical and conceptual problem—i.e. a verbal word use problem. As such, it sheds no light on the world, nor is it eliminated by the construction of a special kind of machine.☜FFFACD

Implementable in functional system »
Implementable in functional system
Implementable in functional system☜Properly organized functional states generate consciousness. Such organization exists in the brain and can be built into computers as well.☜FFFACD
►
Consciousness is multiply realisable »
Consciousness is multiply realisable
Consciousness is multiply realisable☜A given mental state may be realised in a multiplicity of mediums, because only the functional organisation of the system counts, not the medium in which it is instantiated.☜FFFACD
►
Machine-state functionalism »
Machine-state functionalism
Machine-state functionalism☜A mental state is a machine state. Any system that possesses a mental life is simply a complex Turing machine instantiating a certain machine table and thereby running a program. So a computer programmed with the correct machine table, could think.☜FFFACD

Let's just say robots are conscious »
Let's just say robots are conscious
Let's just say robots are conscious☜We simply make a decision one way or the other about robot consciousness, because there is no correct answer to the question, Is that (psychologically, isomorphically and behaviourally) similar robot conscious?☜FFFACD
►
Definition of Alive is structurally based »
Definition of Alive is structurally based
Definition of Alive is structurally based☜Because the definition of alive is not based on structure, it allows for nonhuman robot physiologies. Robots made of cogs and transistors instead of neurons and blood vessels might have feelings because they might actually be alive.☜FFFACD
►
Record Player Argument »
Record Player Argument
Record Player Argument☜A robot plays its behaviour in the same way that a phonograph plays a record. It is just programmed to behave in certain ways.☜FFFACD
►
Robot learning response »
Robot learning response
Robot learning response☜A robot could be repogrammed to produce new behaviours by learning in the same way humans do. A program that learned to tell new jokes would not repeat jokes the programmer had entered into its memory, but would invent jokes as humans do.☜FFFACD

Reprogammed humans retain free will »
Reprogammed humans retain free will
Reprogammed humans retain free will☜Humans can be reprogrammed without affecting their free will—e.g. a criminal becomes good citizen.☜FFFACD
►
Proof of human superiority relies on proof of consistency »
Proof of human superiority relies on proof of consistency
Proof of human superiority relies on proof of consistency☜Newman and Nagels thesis results from a misapplication of Gödel’s theorem (see detailed text).☜FFFACD
►
Super Spartans »
Super Spartans
Super Spartans☜Imagine a race of Super Spartans trained to suppress any behaviorial indication of pain. They exhibit no pain behavior whatsoever, even when they are in excruciating pain. So philosophical behaviorism fails to give an account of what pain is.☜FFFACD
