I'd be very interested to know what experts think of Peter Naur's Turing Award lecture (entitled "Computing Versus Human Thinking"), which has a thesis along similar lines to the article. It certainly has plenty of the hallmarks of a crank - a guy working in a field other than the one he's a recognised expert in, can't get anything published, uses his award lecture for the field he is a recognised expert in to sneak his ideas into the CACM, &c. And yet despite that it seems quite enticing as an idea. I remember being particularly struck by the concept that emotions consist of a closed feedback loop between the nervous system's control over and sensing of the body. Think about this next time you are at the dentist and I think you'll agree that it feels like it could explain a lot.
