gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.Well, consciousness is not an object, not a thing, and not one brain state. But whether physicists really claim that remains unclear to...

gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.The specific argument I gave why the passive observer model seems wrong doesn't work for a determinstic computer: Of course, I could...

gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.What I wrote was: You are right that "classical" physical dynamics can be reduced "too much" to the physical state and its evolution...
-
gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.Looks like "state" and "process" are not the only words that have different meanings for us. For me, an AI updates its internal state...
-
gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.Actually, this seems to be related to me looking at a computer screen. If I just look at a normal object and let my eyes adapt a bit, I...

gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.What you can measure is a physical state. My own personal subjective experiences are not such quasi-static states, but more dynamical...

gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.One reason why it seems to be wrong is that we do talk about our subjective experiences, and what we "objectively" do say about them...

gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.Is this any different from „Descartes‘ dualism is wrong“: That could explain why physicalism only became prominent after Descartes: The...

gentzen replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.The basic challenge is to explain why Descartes‘ dualism is wrong. Just like the nonlocality of Newton‘ theory of gravity is wrong, as...

Agree.
The hard problem of consciousness arises from physicalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physicalism , the view that physics should, in... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.If I remember correctly, the views of Rudolf Haag on locality are not too widespread, but not without merit. [8] Fundamental...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.Brukner neither references Englert, nor uses the word "event". And I guess neither does he implicitly use that concept. Englert himself...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.Englert has a good intuition on how "quantum processes" behave. Bell didn't think in terms of "processes", he thought in terms of...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.The point of Englert is that Bell's theorem only applies to theories "similar to Bohmian mechanics" in suitable ways: In such theories...
