Nothing in mind? Go read Marvin Minsky's excellent "The Society of Mind" and reconsider this statement ...

According to Minsky the mind is composed of tiny "components" (which form the "subsconscious" one might say) and only some reach "consciousness" levels of attention.

Thank you, it's been on my list anyway!

(Even if I'll have to cross off the stamp on the back after reading it ...)

IMO "The Society of Mind" is one of the most intriguing concepts, and should be required reading for discussions of consciousness, free will, etc.
