I mean, if a bunch of experts come to me and say, "We are heavy-duty neurobiologists and we've done a study of you, Searle, and we're convinced you are not conscious, you are a very cleverly constructed robot," I don't think, "Well, maybe these guys are right, you know?" I don't think that for a moment, because, I mean, Descartes may have made a lot of mistakes, but he was right about this.
Если куча экспертов скажут мне: « Мы исследовали Вас и уверены, что Вы, Сёрл, не обладаете сознанием, Вы — очень умело сконструированный робот », — я им не поверю. Ни на минуту не поверю. Декарт много ошибался, но в одном он был прав.
