@_ambigramm @algekalipso Thanks! Most idealists have an agenda - often an edifying and spiritual agenda. But taking the intrinsic nature argument seriously as a potential solution to the Hard Problem yields a physicalist idealism that can be explored by even the most hard-nosed cynic.
For quite a while now I've been estimating there's around an 80% chance that humanity will destroy itself with AI sometime in the next 40 years. But something could soon lower that estimate for me: If before 2028, the United Nations passes a resolution *completely banning*…

“No-self” is a common idea in Buddhism. In Chinese it is 无我 (wú wǒ), “without I” or “lacking me” or “non-I” or “I-lessness”. I/me is also closer to “self” in Chinese, so “non-self” is a common translation.
@cube_flipper @asthouwilt @algekalipso @primalpoly …as to hardly even deserve a mention. Like, of course I see multiple colors, I already knew that, why are you telling me that two plus two equals four?), but rather, its implications - mainly that it rules out particle based ontologies, and tells us that the fundamental…
Coming from a place of embarrassment - almost shame - of having an original theory of consciousness, it feels so incredibly cathartic to meet people trying to actively push their own theories onto you from all directions. I’m done behaving apologetically around my views.
A neurologist, a musician and an IMO medalist go into a bar. They are all the same person, the powerful Enrique Chiu. Last time I was with @ykidch he was writing down differential equations to predict the course of the pandemic, before the pandemic was even a thing in the news.
Legendary MIT neuroscientist and lead guitar for ‘Pavlov’s Dogz’ Earl K Miller Zoom-rocked the Opening Keynote at TSC 2024. Frontal feedback traveling oscillatory waves best candidates for NCC. Frequency gradients - faster in superficial cortical layers, slowing layers 5 &6.
Could be a heavy selection effect, but I've seen many more Buddhists embody Christ Consciousness than I've seen Christians do it. It's something about the capacity to recognize nonduality is a state of consciousness that arises from mental conditions and attentional moves as…
@davidad The very meaning of a token quale is contingent to what it is bound to. Therefore you don't get the same toke quale if it's bound to something else. This is the result of information holism in moments of experience.
@Sabistarian @asthouwilt @primalpoly @algekalipso It’s not purely metaphysics. It means that any physical model that has as its fundamental constituents point-like particles must be wrong. And it’s not that everything is interconnected - sure, all of the ontological monads are in the same reality, following the same laws…
@Sabistarian @asthouwilt @algekalipso @primalpoly Yes, they are all in the same visual field. People ridiculously overcomplicate this. It’s literally as simple as seeing multiple colors at the same time. Or seeing colors and hearing sounds at the same time. Or thinking and tasting strawberries at the same time. Practically: 🔵🟢
@Sabistarian @asthouwilt @primalpoly @algekalipso A wave allows for fundamental unity, but then you get the boundary problem. Why aren’t the only ontological monads universe-spanning quantum fields? What creates the boundaries in them? My tentative answer would be topological segmentation.
@asthouwilt @primalpoly @algekalipso "I see many colors in my visual field" This is the key point. It means that the ontological monads of reality must allow for fundamental unity of information, i.e., they can’t be point-like particles.
This by the way is what I mean when I say that people don't "get" the binding problem. And there is an enormous difference in a theorist's power level depending on whether they do get it or not. It's like night and day in terms of capacity to make progress in the field.

@sheeppigsdogs What does this thought experiment accomplish? It shows that each experience contains multiple pieces of information at once and that it is discrete and ontologically and epistemologically separate from other experiences. Identity is not a soft property with fuzzy boundaries.…
@jchris I distinguish between attention and awareness. Noticing is an attention move. Attention causes local binding (binding of features into gestalts), but awareness is enough for global binding (features being part of the same experience). Transitivity happens in global binding.…
@primalpoly Common confusion: I agree with Dennett that the visual field is less unified than it seems. But any unity _at all_ needs to be explained. An if there was no binding and unity of qualia in moments of experience there would be no information content to experience, nor any context…
This, by the way, is what to me is clearly that Parfit, Hofstadter, and Dennett have never properly thought about. It's not that they arrived at the wrong conclusion. Is that they never reasoned about phenomenal binding like this. It's a big missing hole in their worldview.

@algekalipso Buddhism offers no false relief: 'You' got yourself into this and you must get yourself out. Christianity subsumes some responsibility: The man on the cross died for your sins so you don't have to suffer your own consequences. Buddhists seem much more in tune with their karma.
@algekalipso Not sure what you mean exactly by your words but “Christian” is a broad term. It splintered into a thousand groups, many at odds. The original, unchanged orthodox faith prizes “theosis” or union with the divine as the purpose of life. youtu.be/kbqcLpxbHl4?si…
@summanager Consciousness is a boundary that contains a mirror and another boundary containing a mirror, where the mirrors reflect the world outside the boundary containing them.
An electron may be bound into the orbital of a single atom, and is also present across the entire universe. So it is with the self and the body.
Unreal youtu.be/SHOy5HRCXxg?si… Could not help but tag @algekalipso
@algekalipso For sure. I would guess the TM movement of the 90's and the recent revival of mindfulness generally via many apps has led to a recognition that Christ, while possibly a man, was definitely a state of consciousness similar to the Buddha. One who awakens.

But to focus on the lack of self in the first phrase starts people down a path of thinking of it as eliminating yourself from the universe. Which sure, that's one way to look at it. But I think it's more properly understood as unifying yourself with the universe.
