Perl AI Mind Guy

Can you gays disprove his theories formally, because otherwise you look like a bunch of school bullies, beating the next Albert Einstein.

Also, the NN and statistical based AI push that everybody's in is shit, so anybody looking at a conceptual basis to AI will always look smarter than the "state of the art" garbage.

I completely agree. There is an actual interesting cognitive model I read about years ago. It was created by Douglas Hofstadter and Melanie Mitchell and described in the book "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies". Its the "Copycat" cognitive model:

Its behaviour is very interesting to watch. It looks very natural as it works its way through a seemingly simple analogy problem.

There was a java implementation of this model, but it was taken down. It is mirrored here:

Then there is this guy in the same research group:

He got so frightened by his own puzzle solving program that he took it down, and now cries himself to sleep each night:

So make of that what you will.

The model itself doesn't require knowledge of academic jargon to be understood or implemented in a computer program, and its an interesting excercise trying to apply it to other domains.
