Order of links in the lede

Below is why I reverted the switching of links in the lede.

Thought is the most fundamental property of the mind. We know the mind thinks, although perception can be an illusion (see cogito ergo sum). Besides, “thinks” first was the stable version and the editor who switched the links didn’t provide a reason. I suspect the sole reason was the philosophy effect, which is not a valid reason.

I tend to agree that thinking should come first, mainly because it is the psychological process most typically associated with mind. If we had to reduce the list to a single item, it would probably be thinking, not perceiving. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turing Test

“For other aspects of mind, it is more controversial whether computers can, in principle, implement them, such as desires, feelings, consciousness, and free will.” Turing’s personal motivation for developing such a criteria would provide valuable context to the problem. 2600:1700:77A1:6170:A529:1D45:8CE7:4B45 (talk) 10:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
