Is there something going on in your head, called "intelligence" that cannot be implemented in a machine?

I don't think it has to be intelligence. It's more like motive. Doing a little thought experiment, consider the word "dog". Does it have the same meaning to a child playing with a golden retriever as it does for a child who has been mauled by a pit bull?

In my humble opinion, meaning is an attribute of consciousness and cannot be tokenized. Human language is motivated by the intention of influencing other people's behavior. The deep meaning and purpose of language is not syntactical. Because we live in a culture dominated by written language, and actors and pundits reading scripts, it is easy to lose track of pre-literate language. A lot of what goes on in conversation is "between the lines."

Not everything is positive, but I can live with that, because of e-mails like these:

"I'm grateful to be appreciated, but I don't plan to bash the trashformational church again in the near future. That gets boring fast. I'd like to be more constructive than destructive. So I want to share some of the lessons I've been teaching my students here in Hilo. I know the thought of school makes some people cringe, but consider this: nobody sleeps in my classes. I found education tedious and dozed off through many classes, so I don't want my students to go through the same thing. I can only reach a few people in my classrooms, but my blog can reach a far wider audience, at least in theory. Stay with me. The show's just starting ..."
