Right, it can be easily attacked. I'm sorry but I'm one of those against any kind of mysticism. We have the other side of the coin, people that attack...
Substrate implies limitations but I think those limitations are more quantitative (like speed of processing) than qualitative. You can simulate in tra...
Yes, of course it is not accurate, it is not even a description but a valid example to illustrate my idea that AI learn and treat information in a sim...
Yeap a kind of MadMax, instead of a Blade Runner :rofl: Right, I would say the worst of it risks of getting back and reinforced by the latest bio-tech...
Try to define intuition and you will see it is overestimated. Ask this question to Ke Jie, the champion of Go that lost against AlphaGo AI. Many asian...
:up: Why metaphysical feelings? What does a feeling be metaphysical? I personally would not attribute to feelings to be metaphysical but I would try t...
Spontaneous self-organization as spontaneous decrease of entropy ? I'm not sure "self-organization" is an exhaustive enough word. I like Damasio's arg...
We never know who is on the other side so I share arguments materials I find very interesting and formative. This is one of the nice things of this fo...
I said above what I'm saying, no need to repeat it. Regarding your question of H.'s self, I'm not a big fan of H., I actually do not rely at all on hi...
You're almost there but I think Damasio is more successful describing emotions and feelings (they re not the same thing). Ufff... here you lost me. Lo...
I agree it is not working the same way, the hardware-software architecture and the biology are different. But in terms of how information is treated (...
Honestly speaking, I don't think your interpretation is right. It is quite clear when he says... "transposing an isolated subject-thing", then it says...
Right, and we can say the opposite as well. That religious and spiritual beliefs (impregnated of dualism and metaphysics) are much more popular and ma...
:up: Let me add to your hermeneutics of H. building at the sametime on Janus "focused feeling" :smile: Let's focus on the anxiety-feeling produced by ...
Exactly, only science can give us an answer. All the rest is pure solipsist speculation. Not really, at least in mathematics and within science defini...
I read, studied and forgot and then studied again, etc. continental philosophy and phenomenology but I came to the conclusion that analytical was more...
Aside from the pertinence of religions to answer the question, would you agree that depending on how "you" is defined and understood the question itse...
Are you then supporting what Kierkegaard said? the core of his statement is the word "qualitative divide". Kierkegaard "qualitative divide" is full of...
Very good points and very pertinent. My 2 cents: Of course virtue is in the middle and the right equilibrium between exploring the self and focusing o...
Agree the brain is limited in its own but if we look at the "brain in relationship with the world" it becomes very interesting :wink: And let's keep t...
As I read you, dear thinkers, I get the impression we're all too anthropocentric here. I recently got to know Georg Northoff and I think his idea of s...
Wouldn't it be good to ask them if they feel oppressed? What happened in Egypt when elections happened after the spring-revolution (today is the anniv...
An astronomist would tell you Zero time is the moment right before the big bang and physicist would talk to you about light being in the border line b...
Well, I respect you but I disagree, it is your reality, not mine . I don't think in 2 generations it will be the end of the world but agree we have to...
First of all, thank you Mick for bringing this very interesting topic. I don't think neuromorphic processors cross any ethical boundary that AI hadn't...
You say they're both wrong but they are the head of 2 countries, 2 major countries and they have to deal with reality and reality is that people are a...
One recent example, the recent interview between Macron and Al-Sisi. Al-Sisi says human rights are a human construct and for Egyptians that believe in...
we still have TV networks. These technologies evolve, do not just disappear. Think about books, for example, still there as well. GAFAMs are something...
Politics is about dealing with humans, societies and its issues. We, humans, are mostly irrational, we think with our stomach, our emotions bias us co...
Let me put another perspective. I would say most of the times falseness, fakeness, invented theories or invented stories are much more beautiful than ...
As looks like there is not much interest, I will post one of the major conclusions on this topic that me and my "contertulios" agreed a few days ago: ...
I think you use the words "thereness", "exteriority" with too much "continental philosophy" connotations. I would say here that the "wittgensteinien" ...
Do you agree that understanding something means being able to manipulate it? The more we understand something the better we do manipulate it? With thi...
This external reality is the world that interacts with our senses: the light that hits our eyes, the sounds that hit our ears, the feelings on our ski...
If you read contemporary neuroscientists like Dehaene, Northoff, Tononi you will certainly change your mind. We start to understand consciousness in w...
I like and support your answers very much! I would add, our brains are always the same, our instincts, human condition and passions (underestimated by...
