A Grammar Lesson

"I am here."
Whatever makes up 'here' is 'I'.
If I am in a room, then the room defines 'here' and hence I am the room.
Here, is I.
Here = I
But "Here is I." is a grammatically incorrect statement.
So I say: "Here I am."
Or: "I am here."

Are We 'Tick Tick' or 'Booo'?

A computer has no idea what is going on during the time interval between two successive pulses of its clock. It does not have a continuous sense of time. The argument that advanced computers can rival humans in future can only progress by knowing whether or not humans have, unlike machines, a continuous sense of time. The difference between continuity and pulsation is of the scale of God and Eniac.
