I just saw your post on CYC and the link to Andy Clarke’s book “Being There.” I would agree with your comments; it was an eye opener for me as well. Since you enjoyed Clarke’s book so much let me recommend Flesh and Machines – How Robots Will Change Us by Rodney Brooks, on the off chance you haven’t read it yet. I read this several months ago and made a few comments about it on my site . Clarke also has a new book titled “Mindware An Introduction to the Philosphy of Cognitive Science” that is quite good.

Thanks for the links and for the cogent comments on your site. I’m a fan of Brooks, although I like his critique of AI (“The world is the model”) more than what I’ve read of his positive comments about the nature of the mind. But I should read more before Issuing Pronouncements … not that ignorance has ever stopped me.
