Christoph,
as far as I can see, something
has meaning for me (or for another
kind of living system) not just if data
are *processed* in my brain but
if it is related to my whole bodily
being-in-the-world with others... I mean,
if I am thirsty it is because my body is
of this kind that it needs water. Would
it make *any difference* (i.e. any
meaning and therefore has any
informational value...) if a robot that
is not of the kind of bodily existence
as I am, would be able to say: I am
thirsty? and the same with all other
*meanings*.
