Consciousness Trilemma
RE: Consciousness Trilemma

I admit I mostly skimmed all of your and Khem's posts, but I noticed this bit about what is perceived doesn't happen simultaneous with the actual world events.
This reminded me of the concept of Real-Time Control... essentially, to act fast enough so that the system doesn't change from when it was sensed to the time of acting upon it.

So, as I see it, the time it takes for our brains to process information and make a conscious decision is, for the most part, irrelevant. We operate in Real-Time.
Our present is a present with a small and mostly irrelevant delay.

The vitriol started when Khem suggested I was 'thick' for his own inability to understand he's utterly deluded in denying the reality of consciousness, his own inability to comprehend relevant tautologically true statements and his own inability to recognize his own fallacious arguments, equivocations and non-sequiturs. I wouldn't have pointed out how much of a thickie he was if he didn't decide to suggest I was thick because he's too stupid to follow my own sound reasoning and avoid his own fallacious reasoning.
