That last comment wasn't for you. This one is.
Outer space may be the final frontier, but it's just a matter of time and engineering. And it's nice here, so why leave?
I say the final frontier is the problem of consciousness. Once it is solved, then I'm fairly comfortable with a pleasingly scientific notion of "reality", and all the metaphysicists and cartesian dualists and all the fuckers who think there is a soul, or magic-
-can fuck off, eat shit, and die in a tire fire.
And that is why I want to make machine consciousness.
There, you've found out that my life goal is to leave a big "fuck you all" in the history books. Happy?
