DANIEL DENNETT IS A ROBOT

Freedom Evolves,

DANIEL DENNETT publishing INTUITION PUMMPS &OTHER TOOLS FOR THINKING,
for abstraction of traditional philosophy:Philosophers can seldom put their knowledge to practical use,but if you are sailor ,you can .For practicality you may exchange the word SAILOR with any other words you wish,such as:POET or WRITER,if not CRITIC or ESSAYIST and ANALYST...He also replaces CONSCIOUSNESS for THINKING ,and enjoys the debate for definition of both words,as he hs his own definition for words.DENNETATION is a word he defines in his lexicon:"An artificial enzyme used to curdle the milk of human intentionality"
THE SELF? Simply a center of narrative gravity,a convenient fiction that allows us to integrate various neuronal data streams

 Human beings are moist robots!

I am a robot,and you are a robot but that doesn't make us any less dignified or wonderful or lovable or responsible for our actions...why does our dignity depend on our being scientifically inexplicable?

MIND is a collection of compuerlike information processes which happen to take place in carbon-based rather than silicon-based hardware.

Thinking is consciousness...There is simply no polite way to tell people they've dedicated their lives to an illusion...--D.D.
