Quote:I could also make the sim claim but from an entirely different angle than "intelligent design" - I'm a comp mind junkie. I'd tell you that what you perceive to be your external reality -is- a sim, created by your sensory apparatus and brain - which, at it's core, is neither intelligent - nor designed, which handily answers why sims and reality appear to share attributes even more specifically than the nature of the sims construction - ie, a sim -could be- constructed which does not have any similarity.....but it wouldn't be very useful to us, as we expect and leverage data of a particular sort - the sort that we program/build into our machine sims and the sort that our biological sim runs on to begin with.
From my perspective, when considering how slow neuroscience has been to explain most aspects of consciousness it seems that exploring from a different angle integrating other sciences may be more revealing. When considering consciousness in light of research in other fields as well, it reveals so much more about the potential possibilities regarding consciousness and it's role in our existence.
I am interested, as someone who says they are "a comp mind junkie", what your opinion is regarding the dissertation I posted and what it implies regarding consciousness?
Here, I will post again.
