Hi Craig,
I tend to agree with what you say (or what I understand of it).
Despite my belief that it is possible to extract memories (or their
3p shadows) from a brain, I do not believe in the neuroscience
hypothesis that consciousness emerges from brain activity. I'm not
sure I believe that there is a degree of consciousness in
everything, but it sounds more plausible than the emergence from
complexity idea.
Do you agree that intelligence requires complexity?
I'm not sure intelligence and complexity are two different things.
Hmm...
I have a theory of intelligence. It has strong defect, as it makes
many things intelligent. But not everyone.
The machine X is intelligent, if it is not stupid.
And the machine X is stupid in two circumstances. Either she asserts
that Y is intelligent, or she assert that Y is stupid. (Y can be equal
to X).
In that theory, a pebble is intelligent, as no one has ever heard a
pebble asserting that some other pebble or whatever, is stupid, or is
intelligent.
(that theory is almost only a identification of intelligence with
consistency (Dt)).
Intelligence is needed to develop competences.
But competences can have a negative feedback on intelligence.
