Conscience: Conscious and unconscious

Jourard, Sidney,The Transparent Self. Princeton, D. Van Nostrand Co., 1964, p. 101. This is tantamount to saying that this is a disease over which a person has no control, as with symptoms in a Freudian model of pathology. As an aside, it can be said that these machines do not have and never will have the human qualities and powers of curiosity, spontaneity, growth of ability from within, regardless of the claims made for them; e.g., if a problem is fed into a machine today and the machine cannot solve it, it will not be able to solve it the next day or the next year, unless the machine is altered by its maker or new data are fed into it by its operator. This is true even though the full potential of any given machine is not known by its maker or operator. Viktor E. Frankl uses a striking analogy of a monkey jabbed with a needle for the purpose of extracting a serum for combating polio in human beings. On the level of reference of the monkey, the pain of the jabbing has no meaning because of the limited intelligence of the monkey. But on the human level, it does have meaning in a way that the monkey cannot perceive. May not the same possibility be held for human beings?
