What Creates Consciousness?

AI and consciousness. (First 5 1/2 minutes. Wow!)

Renowned researchers David Chalmers and Anil Seth join Brian Greene to explore how far science and philosophy have gone toward explaining the greatest of all mysteries, consciousness--and whether artificially intelligent systems may one day possess it.This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

Problems of Consciousness The Hard and the Real

Philosophy of verbal disputes​

In some more recent work, Chalmers has concentrated on verbal disputes.[27] He argues that a dispute is best characterized as "verbal" when it concerns some sentence S which contains a term T such that (i) the parties to the dispute disagree over the meaning of T, and (ii) the dispute arises solely because of this disagreement. In the same work, Chalmers proposes certain procedures for the resolution of verbal disputes. One of these he calls the "elimination method", which involves eliminating the contentious term and observing whether any dispute remains.

We also have "The GRW Theory" touched on.

I wonder what thee great minds think of Climate Change and human contributions?

What's your point?

 

[ding]

Did I now? Oh I see where you're confused. I shared something an expert in a field was saying, and you thought I was making a claim or something?

You see, since I first came to usmb ages ago, I'd tell people like you over, and over again that I don't pretend to be a scientist. I'll share and think about what real scientists have to say on certain subjects, but I've never really had an interest in arguing science in order to score cheap political points, or -- to inject an ideological agenda into a discussion of scientific issues.

When I do post/comment on subjects like Climate Change, it's almost always something I've learned or have seen on a NASA or other science based website. I do get amused when anonymous individuals on failing message boards (sorry usmb), act like they have been awarded Nobel's for their contributions to science and more.

So you have no idea what he was talking about. Got it.

 

[ding]

I had responded to you:
"Go look it up."
next

And I thought you'd realize anyone can look things up on the subject. Anyone could use references from scientific sites. I guess you want to debate real scientists? What are you doing here?

You know, I used to go to lectures in the Boston area (so many schools/Universities) , and I'd observe people like you in an audience, chomping at the bit to get attention and ask questions or challenge experts -- rather than sit and learn. Usually never ended well.

Your kind are on YouTube videos now, being mocked and laughed at by audiences.

If looking it up was as easy as you say it is (which it's not) then you would have looked it up.

 

[ding]

My reality, your reality, the reality of how trollish you are here on usmb?

Really?

He's correct, since universe literally means everything that exists, no matter what form that takes.

Laughing leads to crying. It's just science though.

I never cry when I laugh.

It's considered gauche. Crude. Uncultured.

Okay. You too, thank you for playing.

Why do you constantly flee from your threads?

You asked for a philosophical discussion, but then flee when you are given one.

Why?

And NdGT, while a very smart man, constantly avoids real discussion about climate, and reverts to the logical fallacy most employed by the climate faithful, namely, the ever popular "Appeal to Authority".

So, if you insist on starting threads like these, at least have the guts to engage in the conversation.

Long, long, long ago I learned not to suffer fools gladly.

That is maybe one your most weirdest comments.

If I have to explain it to you it would spoil all the fun of the predictable surprise.

Because you are one.

Yet you constantly act the fool.
