Loading...Consciousness is a mathematical pattern – nothing more, nothing less
It’s a radical idea, and not sure if I agree with it, but it certainly should be here on Ideamill for others to scrutinize. Here’ where I heard it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzCvlFRISIM
I would go with Hoffman’s version – really it just seems to be a mathematical pattern as that’s all we are equipped to perceive.
Tegmark contradicts himself though – he opens eyes but doesn’t provide a definitive picture – and he doesn’t seem to see a problem with it. Just sayin’
He also says that we should halt AI research (so our opponents get ahead of us). I guess he is glad the US developed the bomb rather than let the NAZIs win.
Back in 1986, swami Chinmayananda said ‘A human is matter groomed to consciousness’. I was mesmerised by this statement extrapolated from the Upanishads and still am. Here’s the video from the OP.
