If there is a cognitive universal, I wonder if it is absolute. Does it describe the nature of cognition itself or does it only describe cognition we do it here on earth.
IOW: will sufficiently evolved lifeforms on other planets have similar experiences (and therefore a basis for common ground) or will we be completely unable to understand them? Maybe we're receiving transmissions right now and we just don't see it.
If a cognitive universal exists, then true artificial intelligence must -by definition- "think like us" because that's how thinking works.
