    * Critique of Ray Kurzweil's Age of Spiritual Machines
-Ray: "Kurzweil does not understand that it is the act of measurement that causes the collapse of the wave function, not conscious observation of the measurement."
-Kurzweil: "It is only through the collapse of the wave function that an event becomes determinate and thereby causes a reaction in the world, which constitutes a measurement. It is, therefore, the collapse of the wave function that causes measurement, which Ray tells us causes collapse of the wave function. So what Ray is saying is that the collapse of the wave function causes the collapse of the wave function. By removing the concept of observation from measurement, Ray’s explanation of quantum mechanics devolves into this tautology."
