Thanks for reading, my friend.

I hold it like this: Since we do not know what "consciousness" is and where it is located (obviously not in the brain) we also do not know exactly what "human intelligence" is. How then can we build "artificial intelligence"?

I would not speak of humans being "programmed". The computer analogy applied to human beings reflects the trend of high technology but a human being grows organically (out of itself through an organic process), which you cannot say from a software. It's just code. Code is software built into a hardware. Both is mechanics and electronics but not organic. You cannot tell for a human being when consciousness is entering or when life exactly began. Was it when sperm and egg united? Was it when dad and mom got to know each other? Was it when their parents were mating? Was it when the first human appeared? Was it when planet earth made life possible? Was it when the Big Bang happened?

Computers are the results of parts built together mechanically. Humans are the result of self growth organically, interdependent and interacting with other living systems. That in itself is amazing!

A computer and a table are made of their parts, they are not self organizing living systems, interacting with other self organizing living systems.

Which the universe is (from what I think). It's an (intelligent) self organizing system containing countless other self organizing systems within systems within systems. It's orderly and chaotic at the same time.
