Robots, Humans, and the Potential for Independent Thought
“To have a thought, you have to have a thing that can have a thought.”
In this episode, Clare and Hannah continue to geek out about robots, but to be honest we spend more time discussing humans. Typical humans, always talking about ourselves. We talk about the nature of beauty, being stewards of the earth, and something called an a priori cognitive structure. I feel smarter already.
