Qualia don't exist »
Qualia don't exist
Qualia don't existâQualia as traditionally conceived are ineffable, intrinsic, private and immediately presented to consciousness. Nothing has all these attributes; therefore qualia dont exist and should be rejected from psychology.âFFFACD
►
Consciousness is a higher-order system »
Consciousness is a higher-order system
Consciousness is a higher-order system âConsciousness is a higher-order representational structure within a rational system that we can take an intentional stance towardsâie to assume, for convenient interaction with the system, that it has intentional states (beliefs, desires, etc).âFFFACD

Robot pain is theoretically possible »
Robot pain is theoretically possible
Robot pain is theoretically possibleâOur current understanding of pain is incoherent and self-contradictory, but once we have a coherent theory of pain, a robot could in principle be constructed to instantiate that theory and thereby feel pain.âFFFACD

No mechanists for Lucas to play with »
No mechanists for Lucas to play with
No mechanists for Lucas to play withâThe dialectical game never gets off the ground because there are no mechanists for Lucas to play with.âFFFACD

Mathematical insight is not the important issue »
Mathematical insight is not the important issue
Mathematical insight is not the important issueâEven if theres no algorithm for mathematical insight, the lack of one isnt crucial as insight isnt important to mathematics. Problems like Gödelâs theorem and the halting problem can be solved reliably by probalistic algorithms.âFFFACD

Gödel limits formal systems not machine implementations »
Gödel limits formal systems not machine implementations
Gödel limits formal systems not machine implementationsâPhysical machines that can implement numerous formal systems transcend the limitations that Gödelâs theorem places upon formal systems.âFFFACD

Cognition isnât always systematic »
Cognition isnât always systematic
Cognition isnât always systematic âNot organisms exhibit systematicity of thought processes. For example, there are creatures that can in some sense think âthe lion is going to eat meâ but canât think âI am going to eat the Lionâ.âFFFACD

Only mother nature exhibits original intentionality »
Only mother nature exhibits original intentionality
Only mother nature exhibits original intentionalityâHumans do not exhibit original intentionality (or to use Searles terms, intrinsic intentionality); rather their intentionality is derived from genes. In turn, genes have secondary intentionality. The regress ends, however: with Mother Nature.âFFFACD

Understanding is a result of speed and complexity »
Understanding is a result of speed and complexity
Understanding is a result of speed and complexityâNo human can manipulate symbols fast / accurately enough to simulate real time Chinese translation; or can memorize the Chinese symbols as the Reply suggests. Its the very speed and complexity of computers that permits  humanlike thinking to occur.âFFFACD

Sense organs are an unnecessary addition to the test »
Sense organs are an unnecessary addition to the test
Sense organs are an unnecessary addition to the testâThe addition of sense organs doesnt make the test any more demanding than it already isâand therefore is unnecessaryâbecause the Turing test indirectly tests sense-based capabilities.âFFFACD
►
The Quick Probe Assumption »
The Quick Probe Assumption
The Quick Probe AssumptionâPassing the Turing Test implies indefinitely many other abilitiesâeg the ability to understand jokes, write poetry, discuss world politics, etc. It is a quick probe of general intelligence. âFFFACD
