Quote:It's not that I think there's more. It's that I think much, much less may be required.More in the sense of a description, as in..it takes -more- than just a brain, just the clicking and clacking of a biological machine. A brain without whatever that -less- of yours is or may be would not present consciousness. It would be, just processing..as you've often put it.
I'd suppose I'd ask why, if it takes less, if it's intrinsic..for example...to the quantum fields or to matter, to the universe...the digital camera can be then maintained not to have whatever that less is?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
