Gotta go through Newton before you get to Einstein.

I reread it.

Yuck. Unsupported conclusions and nonsequiturs are not gonna persuade me. There is a relativistic perspective for everything except for the recent discovery of time crystals. We got that from Einstein. That does nothing to advance or explain consciousness. It is not the lead in. It is not the first step.

Autumn i understand your explanation. I know what you mean. Wait…no WAIT.

There is no way for me to have a handle on your consciousness. How could i know whether i have digested what you intended to convey? Even if i am super acute in metacognition that will not assure me that i know exactly what you mean to convey.

I am not denying and in…[Read more]

Autumn i agree you have understood the article.

You wrote: In order to measure consciousness, we similarly require that relativistic framework to clock what 110km/h actually means in cognitive terms.

That is the part i can’t come to terms..just does not make sense to me

I am wondering if any of you read the sunday article about consciousness. If so what is your impression. It strikes me as nonsense. Maybe i need to read it a second time.

I am optimistic there will be a way to decipher our brain block. It is so clear that optimal reasoning in each mind varies in terms of capability. It is also clear that within each of us it varies depending on the topic or issue. Sure we vary in terms of aptitudes but lets say general analytical capability.

However well one reasons there is a…[Read more]

Enco you are really gonna defend the if it wasn’t for lawyers you wouldn’t need em?
Thomas Hobbes would puke through his rotted molecules. No laws? Really? But police? Isn’t that the libertarian thing? So the fuzz will act arbitrarily? Arrest bad guys on a whim? It might prove to be a libertarian phantasmagoria. I am not sure the free market will…[Read more]

Enco, i have neither the time nor the inclination to give a full response.
It is between races and i am working on paces-who makes the lead often accomplishes the deed.

So Venezuela? I thought you would double down on your ideological narrative. It is transparently tendentious. I assume you are parroting shit you got from right wing rags. Yes…[Read more]

If sex robots are already here (are they) then i wonder whether humans will predominantly prefer other humans or robots? I suppose it depends on how sophisticated the bot is. Oh, and also how bad the experiences are with people

Unseen, I will ask for her number.

Communication via facial expressions may be lacking but that is okay. It is tiresome reading faces and perceiving contradictions between words and expressions.

She may know more about the universe then any person. That is interesting. Just interacting with a life form (sort of) that is not biological is gonna…[Read more]

I hope you don’t have 1st amendment morons there who opine speech is absolute. That is a great idea. Reminds me of the American Westboro Baptist Church protesting funerals-an obvious speech issue. Asshole move. I can’t…[Read more]
