If people are creating or dreaming of intelligent machines, it's because they secretly despair of their own minds or are crushed under the weight of a terrifying and unnecessary mind: then they lock the mind into machines so that they can play with it and have fun with it. Just as leaving power to politicians gives us the opportunity to laugh at any desire for power, entrusting this mind to machines frees us from any claim of knowing.
