Being the only one here doesn't bother me (even if it did, there are others not on this list who understand my ideas), and I don't care that what I'm saying doesn't fulfill your expectations of 'going anywhere'. As long as others can see the conversations, they can judge who is putting together a new idea of consciousness, physics, and information, and who is resisting it based on bias. The conversation is a commercial for the ideas being discussed even if one side does not recapitulate to the other. > Your zeal in seeking validation from Bruno by presenting yourself "as his > equal confronting him", mirrors perhaps the doubt you have concerning your > own thoughts, which is good indication of your intention to seek and test, > because why else would you seek this validation? > I'm not seeking validation, I'm seeking an awakening to a new idea - either for Bruno or someone else. > > Then again, we are all each other's equals, so why force this with monster > discussions of details of details, when we know the outcome: > Discussing the details yields new examples, new connections, etc. > you will not consider comp as possibility or example and improvise > linguistic tricks for the problems that come up in the edifice of your work > on logical and mathematical levels, by putting aesthetics on a pedestal, > which is also unconvincing as of today. > If you put logical and mathematical levels on a pedestal, then the aesthetic is undervalued proportionately.

I'm not looking for input from Bruno, I'm looking to explain why comp ultimately fails and how it can be inverted to find a new solution that makes more sense. > > Craig > > <blockquote class="gmail_quote" s > > ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
