That is an excellent question! I think like and dislike for example are extrinsic features of our experience. Let me give you an example: A man could ...

That is an excellent question that made me think for a while! In the end, I concluded that it is what it is. When things come together in a specific c...

I think it is a mixture of properties of an object, like symmetry, curvature, color, and the like.
January 12, 2025 at 16:06
I think beauty and ugliness are universal features of the experience, whether humans' experience, aliens', or animals'. Something beautiful is beautif...
January 12, 2025 at 14:39
Yes, and no. Although beauty and ugliness are features of objects, things like ideas, arts (music for example that is not an object), etc. could also ...

It matters. How could your experience help you in a situation when the outcomes of options are not clear?
November 06, 2024 at 08:16
I have three categories of ontology: Past (does not exist), present near future (exists), and future (future excluding near future which does not exis...

I didn't define cause and effect in terms of observer. Maybe one of them or perhaps a combination.
November 01, 2024 at 09:37
I used the maze example to ensure our past experiences cannot affect the decision.
November 01, 2024 at 09:30
No, that is only the effect.

The cause: Ball1 hits Ball 2 and at the same time Ball 2 hits Ball 1. The effect: Ball 1's speed is reduced and Ball 2's speed is increased as a resul...

Causation, Relation that holds between two temporally simultaneous or successive events when the first event (the cause) brings about the other (the e...
October 31, 2024 at 10:00
No, the cause and effect come together to allow a change.
October 31, 2024 at 09:59
No, I am not talking about presentism or A-series of time since to me both now and immediate future exist whereas in presentism or A-series of time on...

I am sorry but there is nothing left to discuss.
October 17, 2024 at 08:41
Well, you are not providing an argument as to why OP is invalid. I think that is the end of the discussion.
October 15, 2024 at 11:47
So you agree that the conclusion follows from OP? I am familiar with the hard problem of consciousness. What is consciousness to you? Probably I wrote...
October 15, 2024 at 10:19
I would use uncertain if the system is not conscious otherwise I use doubt. I agree that a deterministic system could reach a state of uncertainty or ...
October 15, 2024 at 09:00
I am open to discussing OP further if you wish.
October 15, 2024 at 08:50
So your algorithm is biased and not free. What does this have to do with OP which discusses that humans have minds?
October 14, 2024 at 15:53
What do you do when a==b?
October 14, 2024 at 15:22
So you start with an idea! Don't you?
October 14, 2024 at 15:05
First thing first, I am talking about humans and their capacity to freely decide. It then follows that we have minds. Secondly, your example of a comp...
October 14, 2024 at 15:01
Your example just does not make any sense to me. You said that the value 01 or whatever resembles a doubt. What do you want me to accept?
October 14, 2024 at 13:36
Do you mean that the AI should be able to solve problems?
October 14, 2024 at 13:28
I didn't say that you are my enemy. I would be happy to accept the error in my reasoning if you can show it. All I said was that my argument is not wh...
October 14, 2024 at 13:12
What do you mean by showing intelligence?
October 14, 2024 at 13:07
No, my argument does not work like that, there is experience therefore there is a mind. So according to you assigning a variable to be X which is arbi...
October 14, 2024 at 13:01
Trying different ideas means that you have something in your mind about how the simulation should work. Also, what do you mean by "it starts thinking"...
October 14, 2024 at 12:53
Pardon me! That does not open a can of worms but clears up the discussion. If you are interested in discussing mind and consciousness you at least nee...
October 14, 2024 at 12:40
Yes. The existence of experience does not mean that there is a mind. The existence of doubt together with the ability that you can decide in a doubtfu...
October 14, 2024 at 12:23
"01" is just a number. Isn't it? Are you saying that when a variable is "01" then the computer has doubt?
October 14, 2024 at 09:50
"01" does not represent a doubtful situation as I defined it in OP and gave an example of it.
October 14, 2024 at 09:21
No, again undefined variable in your code does not represent a doubtful situation. I precisely defined doubt in OP and also gave an example of a situa...
October 14, 2024 at 09:13
No, undefined does not mean doubt.
October 14, 2024 at 09:02
I already explained. A deterministic system goes from one state to a unique state later so at each point in time there is only one state available to ...
October 14, 2024 at 08:57
No, x is not determined while the program is calculating y.
October 14, 2024 at 08:53
Doubt is a mental state.
October 14, 2024 at 08:52
It is great progress that we agree that you can have doubt. Doubts are not allowed in a deterministic system. That is true since a deterministic syste...
October 14, 2024 at 08:35
This means that you didn't simulate any system in your life. Did you?
October 14, 2024 at 08:27
I don't think that the process of thinking requires language. The thinking process is nothing but a neural process in which neurons fire until a patte...
October 13, 2024 at 14:07
If we know how humans think, we can simulate thinking using a neural network.
October 13, 2024 at 09:02
I don't have answers to all questions as well. It is however strange to me that a person who doesn't have doubt can define it.
October 12, 2024 at 16:10
My question was simple. Have you ever had a doubt? Yes or no?
October 11, 2024 at 15:13
I didn't say that the universe is an object.
October 11, 2024 at 13:39
Have you ever had a doubt?
October 11, 2024 at 13:38
I read the article. It does not explain what he means by that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe.
October 11, 2024 at 12:02
Do you agree that his statement is contradictory? He stated that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe yet he claims that computer is ...
October 11, 2024 at 11:08
Well, that seems contradictory to me. Everything should be conscious if consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe. So a computer that si...
October 11, 2024 at 10:24
Did you read the OP? If yes, what is your opinion about it? I defined all the necessary terms.
