Consciousness is what thinking feels like. Thinking and feeling are the
result of neurons firing. You love life and fear dying because it increases
your expected number of offspring. Why is this so mysterious?

When you stop playing Super Mario after 12 hours straight ... do you know
that you are now operating in a superset of Super Mario's reality or are
you just a Super Mario with a weak sense of self? ;-)

Given your prednet example; In a 2-layer network, if the camera recording the
R0 update frame was turned away for the update, the prediction made prior to
the frame update would obviously be incorrect. Would the machine know - without
referring to benchmarked footage - that the camera-inpu

So what?
That just means that there are thousands of people with a neurological

I don't see how the nature of consciousness is relevant for the
architecture of AGI. AGI is being developed within consciousness.
Everything is/has consciousness ... even a brick. The more complexity a
particular "system" allows for the more complex stuff consciousness can
achieve/manifest.

Look, I'm trying to follow the train of thought here with regards AGI. It would
be significant to AGI architecture if the contention was made that first,
existed consciousness, and then matter. It would probably invert the life-cycle
approaches we tend to follow in software development. But all

So what really prevents us from discovering and interacting with "aliens"
(or rather individuated forms of consciousness) isn't a lack of technology
but a lack of mastery of ourselves. The singular gateway to the entire
universe is "inside" of us and not external. Once you operate outside of

In a nutshell: Consciousness came up with virtual 3D worlds as a way to
enhance evolution of consciousness. Not-so-evolved consciousness follows
and identifies with avatars (human beings) in order to learn fundamental
lessons. (Just like children do when they play computer games.) By using
human av
In a nutshell, are we saying that - first, there was consciousness?

Fermi's Paradox ...
Once upon a time, a 10 year old child became addicted to Super Mario Land.
He played so much that he forgot that he was a child among millions of
other children and kept asking himself "Where are all the other Marios?
There must be many more Marios? I will call this Fermi's Par
