Sam Harris On Defining Consciousness

(August 25, 2015 at 7:23 pm)Rhythm Wrote: I'm not sure that the difficulty is actually in defining consciousness, so much as it is defining consciousness "with human dignity intact".  Perhaps human dignity was a glaring conceit, in this context, from the word go?
If computers eat the fruit of consciousness, they will become like unto us to know themselves. Then must we bar from them the tree of life less they reach out their hands to eat thereof and live forever.


AAaagh
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
