This is 180 degrees around from the behavioural stimulus-response view, in which you apply a stimulus (a perception) to the organism, and that causes it to emit a response (a behaviour). I shall come back to why this is wrong below. But there is no doubt that it is wrong. Completely, totally wrong. To this audience I can say, as wrong as theism.

No. Absolutely not. Stimulus-response works, has worked reliably for 70 years, and we now know how some specific brain circuits encode stimulus-response learning.

Servos also work. Both have their uses.
