@keithwilson The good parts of paper, main principles and discussion of them, are surrounded with some pretty questionable philosophical and theretiical concepts.

One major problem is that the author confuses cognition in general with consciousness. He need not bring the notion of consciousness into the argument at all. Puzzling why he makes that category error. (1/2)

Similarly his notion of functionalism seems poorly discussed. He jumps to the conclusion that cognition must be biological because it seems too complex not to be. Weak argument in that regard. But he makes many good points in total. (2/2)
