Re: Uploaded Worm Mind

2015-08-29 Thread Russell Standish
Well as people probably know, I don't believe C. elegans can be
conscious in any sense of the word. Hell - I have strong doubts about
ants, and they're massively more complex creatures.

But it probably won't be long before we simulate a mouse brain in toto
- about 2 decades is my guess, maybe even less given enough dollars -
then we're definitely in grey philosophical territory :).

One intersting test I'd like to see is applying Tononi's integrated
information measure to these simple creatures to see if they're
producing any integrated information. I suspect Integrated Information
is a necessary requirement for conscious, but not so sure about sufficiency.

Cheers

​I saw several question marks in the last post but I saw no questions. Ask

​Convince the National Academy of Science or the Royal Society that you're
not talking nonsense and have them make you a member; and then convince the
International Congress of Mathematicians and have them award you the Fields
Metal and announce it all here.

​Bullshit.​


Sure.

​Coward.


You don't even quote the entire sentence.

You don't even quote and answer any of the question asked in any of  
the last post.


I don't think anyone find sense in your "refutation", and if they did,  
I invite them to expose and defend it. But it is clear that your  
ambiguity comes from your systematic and local opportunistic 1p/3p  
confusion. Convince just one person (on or out of line) and ask him/ 
her to expose it here. Your own arguments is like in this post, just a  
sequence of insults, which are not a valid way to clarify a point.
