- Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity by Scott Aaronson, TR11-108, ECCC August 2011
- very interesting opening Turing quote, see my related ClickingMoments#InformationPropagation
- "The view that machines cannot give rise to surprises is due, I believe, to a fallacy to which philosophers and mathematicians are particularly subject. This is the assumption that as soon as a fact is presented to a mind all consequences of that fact spring into the mind simultaneously with it. It is a very useful assumption under many circumstances, but one too easily forgets that it is false." Alan M. Turing, Computing machinery and intelligence, Mind 1950
