[...] I do not really believe that we shall succeed in creating life
artificially; but after having reached the moon and landed
a spaceship or two on Mars, I realize that this disbelief of
mine means very little. But computers are totally different
from brains, whose function is not primarily to compute but to
guide and balance an organism and help it to stay alive. It is for
this reason that the first step of nature toward an intelligent mind
was the creation of life, and I think that should we artificially create
an intelligent mind, we would have to follow the same path. [...]
