IDWYC but agree that Searle's emergence seems like a pointer to confusion and reveals a really basic failure to understand reductionism.
And since "reducing things to constituent parts" is involved with all of reasoning, it indicates a gross inability to reason.
I mean really, who only refers to the universe as a seamless whole? And who has produced anything of note by refusing to refer to distinct and separate things?
Searle would be a good example of the difference between being bright, and being intelligent. He is clever, but not smart.
Bloggingheads.tv can't exactly call up, say, the President of France and get him to do a diavlog, but they have some street cred with mid-rank celebrities and academics. With that in mind, how would you fill in this blank?
"I would really love to see a diavlog between Yudkowsky and ____________."
