Dear Fil and Keith,
Keith wrote: <snip> we can define the originating of thinking as the moment
*consciousness* becomes aware of and accepts the event of a
thought.<endsnip>
[my emphasis - and I presume that Keith means 'conscious agent' -
consciousness doesn't have agency because it is an abstract concept not a
thing or being]
The problems for creating design theory (and its failure) come if we assume
this conscious agent ('consciousness' in Keith above) is the same as the 'I'
that each of us perceives.
Best wishes,
Terry
