Information and free will: brain scan value? (Introduction)
DHW's comment:
Maybe in another ten thousand years scientists will have come up with the goods – hold on, David…I haven’t finished yet – a machine that has its own consciousness and will, with ten thousand refinements to the mechanisms already built in our time. This will prove that will, consciousness, emotion etc. do have their source in materials. But it will also prove that conscious minds have experimented over and over again, refining existing machines step by step, discarding those that don’t work, retaining those that do, adapting them, adding new bits….So hey ho, what do we have? Evolution guided by conscious design.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
