Bergson’s debate with Einstein swayed the 1921 Nobel committee (2016)

I find the parallels to artificial intelligence really interesting. Bergson attributes some kind of magic to time that can't be fully explained by clocks in the same way that consciousness is evoked to argue that brains aren't normal physical systems.

A contemporary of Bergson, the philosopher Samuel Alexander, put that succinctly as "Time is the Mind of Space".

Can we reduce the clickbait by replacing "This philosopher" with "Henri Bergson"?

We'll use the subtitle.
