Obviously, I can't speak to the work conditions
created by the prof mentioned in this article, but I do know that there are too many
evolutionary scientist who defend
evolutionary theory like a religious zealot defends their faith.
I was reminded of this with particular poignancy a few days ago, when I read that the Japan Science and Technology Agency had awarded a grant of $ 3.4 million to a group of Japanese and American researchers in «
evolutionary science and technology» for a project to be conducted at Monash University, the ultimate aim of which is to determine — based on models provided
by Integrated Information
Theory (IIT)-- whether it is possible to
create «artificial consciousness.»
