I can think of like 5 different ways that you could define &quot;a wandering mind,&quot; yet the author just takes it for granted and acts like we all &quot;get it,&quot; even though the definition you choose might change the conclusions she reaches and the nature of the discussion.<p>It&#x27;s just that vagueness that characterizes discussions about consciousness or subjectivity. It makes me think we have an incredibly long way to go before we accurately model the human subject, which is a prerequisite to any meaningful AI.
