What does Wheeler's "it from bit" say about consciousness or subjective experience?

What is the process in getting a poster to be a Scientific Advisor?

Yeah "on the fringe" seems about right, thanks Ryan

Has anyone on here ever heard of Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, she is a geneticist according to her Wikipedia page, she is director of the The Institute of Science in Society (ISIS), an interest group that campaigns against what it sees as unethical uses of biotechnology and has some VERY wild ideas. The...

I agree, now how do we go on about making it happen?

So is this whole thing completely bogus or is still open ended? should further research be done on this or it will be just a waste of time?

K thanks

I think I accidentally deleted ALL of my PM's or a moderator did, is there a way to retrieve some of those PM's or are they forever gone?

Yes that the complete quote, I do not know why I left that out since it's the key to the whole quote. I have not read much by Pattee, it seems at first glance, his work is going to be even harder to grasp. Also apeiron, what would the free energy bayesian brain, ultimately say about the...

Apeiron, would you agree to this statement made by Rosen, "mind is to brain as life is to organism"?

In Rosens theory (I do not know what the official name for it is lol) life is a consequence of complexity and while life is not a first principle in the universe, complexity is...is that true of pansemiosis too?

Correct me if I am wrong here but I find Rosen's complexity similar to your pansemiosis.

Who, in your opinion, has the best theory of mind or the best model of the mind? It will still for sure be incomplete but who do you think is going down the right track? Also, does either Pattee or Salthe have anything to say about the mind or reality?

Another question I have apeiron is, I know you are a fan of him but I'll ask anyway, do you espouse Rosen's view of complexity and where does it fit in systems thinking?

This might be going a little off-topic, but does systems thinking, in contrast to reductionism, solve the hard problem or does it just change the hard problem?
