Which scientists? How much processing power is required to "simulate a
human consciousness"? How exactly does one "simulate a human
consciousness"?

Consciousness could be defined as the knowledge of one's own existence.
With that comes the desire to remain in existence.

Then those whom commit suicide have no consiousness?
When a computer resents being turned off, I think they will have reached
their goal. Then we'll have to worry about what the computer's goals
will be.

"The Democratic Party is the party of this popular corruption.
The heart of the Democratic Party and its activist core is
made up of government unions, government dependent professions
(teachers, social workers, civil servants); special interest and
special benefits groups (abortion rights, is a good example) that
feed off the government trough; and ethnic constituencies,
African Americans being the most prominent, who are
disproportionately invested in government jobs and
in programs that government provides.

" The Democratic Party credo is 'Take as much of the people's money as politically feasible, and use that money to buy as many of the people's votes as possible'.
Tax cuts are a threat to this Democratic agenda.
Consequently, Democrats loathe and despise them."
