"To escape the paradox, we invoke what we call the “Homunculus Defense”: inside every human is a tiny non-stochastic homunculus that provides true understanding. This homunculus is definitionally not a stochastic parrot because:

1. It has subjective experience (unprovable but assumed)

2. It possesses free will (compatibilist definitions need not apply)

3. It has attended at least one philosophy seminar"[1]
