We've got the right level of modeling to be able to explain a lot of what's going on in thinking.

We don't necessarily have a science of what's going on there.

That's the remaining challenge, so to speak.

But we know we don't have to dive down to some different layer.

But anyway, we were talking about things that had science in their name.

And I think that the...

What happens to computer science?

Well, I think there is a thing that everybody should know, and that's how to think about the world computationally.

And that means you look at all the different kinds of things we deal with.

And there are ways to kind of have a formal representation of those things.

It's like, well, what is an image?

How do we represent that?

What is color?

How do we represent that?

What are all these different kinds of things?

What is, I don't know, smell or something?

How should we represent that?

What are the shapes, molecules, and things that correspond to that?

These things about how do we represent the world in some kind of formal level?

And I think my current thinking, and I'm not real happy with this yet, but it's kind of computer science, it's kind of CS.
