Thoughts, on Marv's content, below...
“Whatever happens, where and when, we’re prone to wonder who or what’s responsible. This leads us to discover explanations that we might not otherwise imagine, and that help us predict and control not only what happens in the world, but also what happens in our minds. But what if those same tendencies should lead us to imagine things and causes that do not exist? Then we’ll invent false gods and superstitions and see their hand in every chance coincidence. Indeed, perhaps that strange word “I” – as used in “I just had a good idea” – reflects the selfsame tendency. If you’re compelled to find some cause that causes everything you do – why, then, that something needs a name. You call it “me.” I call it “you.”

Is "I" used in another context? And also what are the references of "you" and "me" in this regard?
Considering the terms of "I, you and me", in Marvin Minsky's context.
PS it is interesting to start threads and watch how they materialise into x,y and z. However, it would be great if posts could also infer to the context of the first post... this post... arg! heck, lets just talk about our ideas... "I coulda beena contender too, Charlie..."
