~6:55 Excited to hear this concrete example of what I've been thinking/learning. I'll go as far as to say all belief systems (the end result of having 'proven' something) end up at this very point — a choice is required to be made on what you believe; logical arguments stem from that choice and you will always find a system of logic to support it. Perhaps all points of view are true within their context, each perpetuating a certain experience of life. In a down-to-earth way, "If you think you can or you can't, you're right."
"Consciousness is something different from computation."
I will remember this the next time I'm tempted to think myself smaller or inferior than AI.
Class.
