"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCdV6BMMpOo&amp;t=1h19m19s"">1:19:19</a> "Consciousness is something orthogonal ... distinct ... another dimension" ... Finally. There is no science to consciousness and God. Can we 'measure consciousness'", or course not. The infinite cannot be understood. The word that comes to mind is 'selfiness'. Everything is infused with it. And it's storage across systems, the memory of itself, requires union between the brain parts. 'Storage (memory) is integrated' across different regions," no centrality. Interesting.<br><br><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCdV6BMMpOo&amp;t=1h54m00s"">1:54:00</a> "I wouldn't call it murder" ... this opens into a disturbing subject", as you whether it's 'murder' if someone isn't conscious when you kill them, like a zombie. Later on these become defined as 'philosophical zombies' (perhaps the source of all war), but in the meantime we were talking about AI.<br><br>"I become less and less ok with murdering that robot that I know is not conscious" ... Which made me the first robot-rights advocate, for a moment. But in my notes I wrote MEAT. People won't kill a robot, cry for Bambi, and go for a hamburger. Zombies? <br><br>What is a zombie? One who "willing marches to slaughter" (unlike cows)... "I refuse to be slaughtered." <br><br>This is probably why cats terrify you. Cats are merciless hunters. They will even play with their prey. It's kind of sick, but interesting. The mice had to create a diversion, so they invented dogs, a hybrid between cats and mice. The dogs of war. But the cat is absolute, lurking in a tree. They don't get involved into the war with the dogs, they just hunt mice, who are proud of their little mouse brains.,(reply>), @thewiseturtle Consciousness is not something that can be defined, but it is cognition and energy acting like photons pouring from the sun, covering everything and ullumining them, bringing them into existence, or keeping them bound up in darkness. But it is none of these things I have just said. It is an attribute of the Supreme Being.
