Re: weekend's reader

Thank you Milton
I do not see consciousness as a hard problem , but I definitely do not
confine myself to a single view (category theory or other). I think it's
better to just relax and enjoy life :-)
But if you have something to share and discuss, as long as it is not
impossibly convoluted and unnecessarily contrived (a lot of philosophy and
science are) we look forward to that
