That’s worse. Then Searle's argument makes a wrong presupposition that it is an adequate model of how understanding works. It’s like first postulating...

I said Searle’s reduction of computation to “symbol manipulation” is arbitrary point of view, incomplete and misleading. It’s like arguing chemistry i...

It’s impossible to even begin with it because you would first need to know what is "mind", "understanding" or "consciousness". And as I said, reductio...

He’s talking about simulation in the context of epistemological uncertainty. I’m talking about simulation in the context of ‘virtual entities’ to addr...

If the program could spontaneously, without any learning or explicit programming of any philosophical or sentience related data, arrive to some though...

Uhh. Searle postulates computation is just symbol manipulation. I simply explain why that very first step is a flaw, it’s arbitrary. See more details ...

Virtual reality is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. The virtual reality program I’m talking ...

I explicitly said it is a reason and not evidence. Sounds like we reached limits of your attention and perhaps comprehension too, but let’s try again ...

Oh yes, it is very true. I already told you "I" is a program in private virtual reality created by the brain. And according to what physics you conclu...

Semantics. Such a program is indeed deterministic at every instant in time, but that does not mean its future functionality is determined at any time,...

I'm not sure what you just said, but it looks like an assumption coupled with an assertion. Haven’t you already agreed with me previously that all the...

I already told you. Freedom of volition is proportional to how much it is determined by "self", and inversely proportional to how much is determined b...

It was incoherent and unrelated to my question. If you can not articulate an answer to WHY question with BECAUSE answer you're wasting everyone's time...

Why not?

There is no clear definition of free will. It is sufficient that we agree on the definition relative to the context we are talking about. But what is ...

A program that can redefine its set of defined functions and goals. Questions are not answers. Answer to my question needs to begin with something lik...

It's like you want me to argue something I do not care about. Simply state yes / no question so I know what is this about, or quote my sentence and po...

Yes / no question would clarify.

I do not want to argue about semantics. I do not see where is this supposed to lead, what is the point or importance, what is your position, what is s...

I do not. What are we talking about, what is the argument?

Not common wisdom. Common definition of free will. What's this about, can you phrase it as question?

I was hoping you to say something about why those differences / changes / relations, whatever they physically are, why they feel like they feel, where...

In one case I'm talking about 'conscious free will' as most people understand it. In the other case I am talking about my personal definition of free ...

Deterministic program does not equal deterministic function. But in any case, how is determinism relevent to "knowing itself"?

Sentient agents are sentient programs. “I” is a kind of program. Are you saying your robot can not have “I” or that no robot ever can have it?

Experience is qualia, in that experience consists of one or more different and simultaneous qualities. So let us call it an event, external event and ...

Sounds good, but I don't know what to do with it. It's too general, can you narrow down "development" thing - developed via what elements, what value ...

Yes, and I have no clue what are we talking about now.

Sounds true enough. Why five dimensions? I can’t disagree, and you definitely said something, but it feels kind of empty. Can you elaborate on ‘reduct...

I already answered your question 4. What in the world is not clear about better vision being better than worse vision?

If pragmatics of better visual discrimination is not self-evident, then I think you need to explain where is the disagreement first.

Agent is the program itself. Meat or metal, human, lizard, insect or a single cell bacteria, body doesn’t matter except in the degrees of freedom. The...

Yes.

Colors do covey temperature and mostly increase contrast between four general categories: ground, water, plants and animals, so they are useful.

You are misinterpreting and I already explained your error.

No, I did not say that. I asked you what is the problem, then suggested you do not know what is the problem, and finally I said what is the real probl...

Yes, that is free will, program does what program wants. Aything else takes away that freedom, even if it is a simple freedom, like a crazy wish to pr...

It looks like you mixed me with someone. In any case, I don't see you disagree, so is there anything else I should say or explain?

You think the problem is 2. and 5. and I say the so called 'hard problem of consciousness' is 3. and 4., which needs to be implemented with some kind ...

My 3. and 4. are hardware, yours software. Hardware. The first sentence you quoted does not contradict that.

People do not understand information is anything and everything because information has no inherent meaning. Meaning is always given to information by...

It looks like we understand each other, and even agree, but then I do not get why would you describe my question as "stating the obvious" when I think...

Not known is 'what' to implement, so 'how' is not even a question yet. But what I am suggesting here is both what and how to implement, and relevant p...

Properties of our visual system. What kind of property, measured in what units, described in terms of what: charge, magnetism, force, attraction, dist...

Why is that a problem? Most importantly, or for a start, it does not have the same hardware configuration.

To learn by imagining, that is mental / virtual experience in advance, rather than by waiting to live or die when the physical / actual experience rea...

The whole meaning of your statement hinges on the word “wisdom”, which is terribly undefined, if not undefinable, but surely it has something to do wi...

Projection of what onto what (perceived by what)? Eyes convert light into signals. That’s the only fact here. So the question is whether that signal i...

Alternative? Common auxiliary “side-effect information” inherent in empirical observation is a general problem we have to accept and ignore, what else...
