Editor's note:
Dr. Frederico Faggin is one of the heavyweight scientist-inventors of the 20th century. In 1971 he developed the first silicon chip, the microprocessor at the heart of all electronic devices today. He also produced the new touch-sceen technology.
Currently, he is writing, lecturing, and advocating what he feels to be an even more fundamental revolution in science - that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all reality.

why computers have no higher-level creativity
Irreducible, pg. 179:
A computer has no interiority because consciousness and free will are quantum… There is no real creativity in a computer because creativity requires non-algorithmic choices [and the computer is governed wholly by algorithmic programming]…
Editor's last word:
See youtube interviews of Dr. Faggin, for example, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Q_W6H_nZk
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5REKKkKZpY
wherein Dr. Faggin makes comments, such as, "The structure of matter is isomorphic [“equal form”] to the cognitive structure of consciousness, which can reflect itself [in matter]"; our "bodies reflect the accumulated learning of consciousness; matter is the ink with which consciousness writes its own self-knowing."
