On naturalism and consciousness

[dissily mordentroge]

I don't have a problem with mind being inextricable from a biological brain except for the lack of a mechanism and the lack of evidence.
Possibly you're subconsciously masking your arrogance by using pseudo-psychology on people?

An extraordinary assumption given the paucity of evidence to hand.

Strong AI doesn't avoid the problem of consciousness so much as assuming it emerges from complexity and interconnectedness.

Chas, making such an assumption could be considered a form of unconscious masking in itself.
