So we propose a Standard Model of thinking in man or machine.

  A gift for expression, and a sense that the world is not mad.

  Non, non, monsieur l'ingenieur, dans le printemps de l'intelligence
  artificiel we will make a mind-modeled machine that thinks SLOWLY;
  apres le fait accompli we will make the AI mind de grande vitesse,
  the exploitation of both speed and massive parallelism:  Super AI.

  A too straitjacketed, too rigidly engineero-typical idee fixe.
