However, when you want to say that a comp system is mind, you'll have to do more than wave your hand toward computers, and say, "See? I said minds are comps, and there are comps everywhere, and the brain acts like a comp, too. So comp mind, gotcha!"Excellent. Computers exist. I think that mind is a comp system, not that a comp system is a mind. I don't think my desktop has a mind or is a mind. Glad to clear that up for you. I think they're both comp systems, sure. So is an atari and my pc - quite a difference between them, though, eh?
