Can you be sure?

Yes, but subjective probabilities are different than objective probabilities.

I think you can arrive at a proof via a reductio ad absurdum: the idea that consciousness and mind can from matter leads to absurdities like the follo...

If the idea that minds can emerge from mindless stuff is incoherent, this problem goes away. As does simulation theory.

Yes, I confused you with another poster, sorry about that. Assuming that the universe is infinite, what do you think the probability is that you're a ...

Re-reading Otherland by Tad Williams. Two books longer than it needs to be, but it's a good series.

Can you address my reply to you about subjective probabilties?

Sure they do. If A and B are both countably infinite, A=B. Do you dispute this? Is the link I proved wrong? You also haven't provided any links to bac...

Again, authors do the exact same thing in their fictional worlds, do they not? Is Stephen King a monster? To your point, I wouldn't want to hang out w...

Your claim is then that the two countable infinite sets (Boltzmann brains and non-Boltzmann brains) are not equal? Any math people want to comment on ...

It could also lead to less violence, since people have a harmless outlet for their rage.

But all those things you listed are in a different category than virtual characters. Virtual characters are essentially mindless collections of electr...

We were talking about subjective probabilities, not actual probabilities, and it's already known by me that I don't have "Down the Rabbit Hole"'s brai...

I'm not sure you're right, so let me ask you the same question I asked Axiom: What do you think the probability that you're not a Boltzmann brain is? ...

Doesn't an immoral act require a victim? I.e., someone who is harmed by the immoral act? Also, are authors wrong when they subject fictional character...

:up:

If the universe is infinite, then there are infinitely many Boltzmann brains and infinitely many non-Boltzmann brains. Since the two sets are equal, t...

I think we can defeat the Boltzmann Brain problem by adopting idealism. The idea that consciousness and mind can come from non-conscious mindless stuf...

I'm not a math major by any means. I'm going by stuff like this: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/760553/are-all-uncountable-infinities-greate...

Countable infinities are equal, so the infinite set of worlds where we're Boltzmann brains is equal to the infinite set of worlds where we're not. It'...

But the arc of history for the past two centuries has been towards liberty. Women and minorities are de facto second class citizens, but they are not ...

Yeah.

I'll try. Basically, my argument is that if someone else solves the Hard Problem, I think we could understand their solution. Even if we didn't unders...

It's irrelevant that Trump was on tape admitting he gropes and kisses women without asking them first?

I was replying to Nos when I asked why they took so long. He was claiming it was a conspiracy by Carrol and her friends. I understand why women don't ...

Don't you think the Access Hollywood tape and deposition also hurt Trump in the eyes of the jury?

Why did they wait so long?

There was evidence. Two of her friends testified she told her it happened right afterwards. Is your claim that they were both in on it? That they woul...

I don't want to rehash all that. I just wanted feedback on my objection to mysterianism.

Well, I just as soon have a woman president. Less skeletons in the closet.

KAPLAN: And you say – and again this has become very famous – in this video, ‘“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even ...

Did you watch Trump's deposition video?

Possibly, but I don't think something as fundamental and knowable as consciousness should be unsolvable. In fact, I think idealism is the obvious solu...

Apparently, it's not a very good argument.

:100:

I'm not accusing you of being a mysterian. I want feedback on this argument of mine.

I wish I had never brought up ChatGPT in the OP. Two points: A) What about augmented human brains? I can see us developing technology that vastly impr...

Thanks for replying! I was wondering if it was me or something. Ok, instead of ChatGpt, let's just assume that an advanced alien race tell us they hav...

I'm not happy about all that, but I don't see any of that as some sort of existential problem. I'm a little irritated, in fact, at conservatives who c...

I'm sympathetic to preserving safe spaces for women, but what do you mean by "fatal"? What horrible thing do you think will eventually happen if biolo...

Hmm....

They're just going to lie and obfuscate and produce red herrings. It's like playing whack-a-mole, but the bullshit pops up so much faster than you can...

Does the article have anything to say about machine consciousness?

You're right. I should have said how does a stochastic parrot produce results like that? Suppose I have a theory, that ChatGpt has some consciousness,...
