What's Mind?
No Matter!
What's Matter?
Never Mind!
That was an old AI joke around campus when our project was tring to model a digit recognizer for which we had to design an 'eye' for recognizing numbers on a checkbook. That was renewed when I came across this new (atleast to me) stuff called "The Santiago Theory Of Cognition" whose central insight seem to be
- Mind is not a thing but a process
- Mind is a process of Cognition (which is none other than process of life itself)
- Consciousness is an elaborate form of this process
Wonder what the 'Cartesians' would be thinking now?.
Meanwhile I recommend that you watch "I love Huckabees"

Digit Recognizer???? Whoa!
Its appropriate that I say, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter! :)

[Sagnik] Thanks for correcting the title and I agree with you completely there. I also like linkage of the apparently random things in the movie.
