Marvin Minsky's "The Society of Mind" Class

Marvin Minsky is one of the pioneers in Artificial Intelligence and the co-founder of MIT AI Lab. Before coming to MIT, I had read his book titled "The Society of Mind", which explains some highly speculative theories on how minds (artificial or natural) might work in plain simple English that non-technical readers can understand. So when I saw that the "The Society of Mind" class by Marvin Minsky is being offered in spring, I registered for it and attended the first meeting of the class today. So what are my first impression of the class? Well, for starters, Professor Minsky looks a lot older than how he looks on the picture that is posted on his home page. The first part of the lecture was about some new theories from his new book titled "The Emotion Machine". The second part of the lecture was class discussion on the topics found in "The Society of Mind" book. Now that I have started taking classes in the engineering side of MIT, I have a noticeable difference in the presentation, discussion style, and personality between Sloan (and some extent ESD) students and the rest students at MIT. This observation is still highly speculative. Any comments from anyone about this? I am going to cut tonight's blogging activity short since I still have a case study to read. Later...
