Well written. It kinda had to be this way, I think. There's a something from nothing problem. Douglas Adams brilliantly starts at this point. We don't understand something from nothing. We don't even have the language to describe it. Concepts like "complexity" are frustratingly resistant to formalization. "There is no free will." Has recently resurged as a philosophical position... like it did in response to Newton's mechanics. Matter from void. Life from minerals. Consciousness from electrons. Free will from deterministic components. Smart reasoning & intelligent rationalisation from dumb search, computation, DNNs and such. I don't think this debate was supposed to be ended by anything short of empirical demonstration. Endnote: deep blue's victory over Gary was a bunch of preprogrammed bulls--t. Rematch!
