I’m not sure if you are saying there is a problem with my argument or not. If there is, point to which statement of mine is supposed to be unwarranted...
February 26, 2020 at 18:18
I just proved the number of unique things that can or will ever exist, both physical and imaginary, is finite. What part of the proof can you possibly...
February 26, 2020 at 18:06
There is a significant difference between full color, grayscale, and a picture that can only show black / white pixels. It doesn’t follow ‘there are o...
February 26, 2020 at 16:26
It's simply about the set of all the possible combinations of pixels. It has nothing to do with time and taking photos, that was only to illustrate ho...
February 26, 2020 at 15:21
Aha. Forget I said anything, I'm out of here.
February 23, 2020 at 08:20
Sorrry, I did not know you are insane.
February 23, 2020 at 08:18
It's a simple logical fact. What is your objection exactly?
February 23, 2020 at 08:17
You are not talking about what the question is supposed to be. The point is colors do not actually exist, and that is a fact in the sense that in the ...
February 23, 2020 at 06:35
I already told you, are you broken? The explanation for the existence of things that do not actually exist, such as unicorns or qualia, is virtual exi...
February 23, 2020 at 03:55
That is not it. I guess I failed to formulate the question properly. The point is colors do not actually exist, and that is a fact in the sense that i...
February 23, 2020 at 02:15
That is not thinking, it is ignoring. 1. The only explanation there is for the existence of things that do not actually exist, such as unicorns or qua...

By looking at moving electrons and logic gates in the CPU you will not see what program computer is running, just like you can not see consciousness o...
February 23, 2020 at 00:00
Virtual reality interactions do not reduce to actual physical interactions. In any case though, shuffling molecules and passing electrons from point A...
February 22, 2020 at 19:08
Consciousness is not a simple emergent phenomena like liquidity, but a higher level emergence in a completely new ontological substrate that emerged w...
February 22, 2020 at 17:21
Are you saying electrons and atoms in actual human beings are not taking paths of least resistance?
February 20, 2020 at 03:00
Sure, simulated thing is a separate thing on its own, therefore it is alive all by itself. Is that your point?
February 20, 2020 at 01:31
And what is your point?
February 19, 2020 at 23:59
It's clear what you are hinting at, but it’s not clear what the actual argument is supposed to be. Is there anything more for a cell to be alive other...
February 19, 2020 at 23:40
Simulated and alive.
February 19, 2020 at 23:06
Does actual gravity attract simulated bowling balls?
February 19, 2020 at 22:59
It's fascinating, although I expected a story about visual cortex area V1.
February 16, 2020 at 23:51
Sounds like you might know such information like what is the size of perceived pixels or their molecular representations and how many of them are ther...
February 15, 2020 at 02:48
Can you phrase the question so it is clear it is about the second answer?
February 15, 2020 at 01:51
You do not test by questioning, but by being questioned. If a kid spontaneously one day asks “is my red the same as your red?”, I’d say that gives con...
February 13, 2020 at 17:27
What exactly about "contact point with reality" and "based on empirical observation" makes you confused? If you claim something is a wave then the exp...
February 13, 2020 at 07:44
Holographic phased standing wave patterns, eh? Your "theory" has no contact point with reality. Instead of any empirical observation it's based on hal...
February 13, 2020 at 07:19
I see, just like in Star Trek.
February 12, 2020 at 23:34
I'm listening, but you are not saying anything except meaningless assertions and empty phrases. Go ahead, define "resonant wave condition". No? Then i...
February 11, 2020 at 06:50
I was making fun of your phrases that sound like they mean something, but ultimately they can only refer to QM or attraction and repulsion of EM field...
February 11, 2020 at 06:19
Resonant condition, waves in the container, boundary conditions, propagation media landscape, standing wave, wave states. There is no explanation in t...
February 11, 2020 at 04:29
Generally no, but I do think I found some ways to explain it better, at least to myself. For example, I came up with the following statement with whic...
February 11, 2020 at 01:47
Sam Harris and free will argument have nothing to do with qualia and zombie argument.
February 11, 2020 at 00:20
That logic is shown to be wrong by non-living things giving rise to living things, or non liquid things giving rise to liquid things, for example.
February 11, 2020 at 00:09
Panpsychism is vague, ambiguous, untestable, without even possibility of ever giving any prediction, confirmation or explanation. Panpsychism is as us...
February 11, 2020 at 00:02
It’s not about switches, it’s about interaction between virtual entities. Possibly, unless speed / synchronicity is at issue, in which case serial com...
February 10, 2020 at 21:33
Not only it can be simulated, there is no other substrate in which consciousnes can exist but virtual.
February 10, 2020 at 21:03
Like robots and zombies, with varying success.
February 10, 2020 at 16:28
No, Sam’s position is that we do have epiphenomenal consciousness, that is phenomenal subjective experience without any causal effect, just passive ob...
February 10, 2020 at 16:09
Except “Sam Harris” each of those words and phrases can be interpreted in many ways, resulting in many different opinions. People present different an...
February 10, 2020 at 15:59
I don’t see any difference between possible and potential, but in any case unknown event or entity from the future holds no explanation about objects ...
February 10, 2020 at 14:30
Consciousness is located in the whole body like a computer program is located all over computer’s integrated components, connecting wires and peripher...
February 09, 2020 at 16:15
Physical is what is observable / measurable in principle, in a sense that if ghost or souls can be observed / measured they too would automatically th...
February 09, 2020 at 13:39
Makes sense. So we are still suffering ghosts of the past mistakes. Which reminds me to tell you something I don’t expect anyone will believe, but it ...
February 08, 2020 at 15:17
If it doesn't work on some supposed model of understanding, then how can it prove anything about understanding? Or, if it uses a clear case of non-und...
February 08, 2020 at 12:29
Time and odds do not change the fact that the only explanation we know of, for the existence of things that can not actually exist, such as unicorns o...
February 08, 2020 at 11:58
Take any theory of consciousness, all they can do in their search for the ”substance of qualia” is to reach the bottom of reductionism and then simply...
February 08, 2020 at 05:38
You are incoherent, you can not focus a single sentence to directly address anything specific I said. You misinterpret me and then respond to yourself...
February 08, 2020 at 05:37
It doesn't relate to anything I said, and you did not answer the question: Do you think that atoms do "give rise" to language and consciousness or not...
February 08, 2020 at 04:55
Yes. Why do you ask, what do you think? So you say, can you show? Pick one issue, quote me, and actually point out what you think is the problem.
February 08, 2020 at 01:49
Searle's argument.
