  • "Prove it"

    That's not how science works either. Nothing is 100% proved but we have enough evidence to suggest it is way more likely than your theory:

    1. ​There is a massive gap between the origin of the universe and the arrival of anything with a nervous system.
    2. Drugs alter consciousness, as does brain damage. If consciousness was independent of matter this wouldn't be the case.
    3. If consciousness existed first and could somehow create matter it would violate the Law of Conservation.

    You could speculate about anything but without evidence you're just making up your own form of religion mixed with solipsism.

  • I think the real controversial opinion here is that a good social fabric is possible.

  • No that's not how science works, there is no evidence that consciousness existed before matter whereas there is plenty that matter existed before consciousness. Your extraordinary claim that it does requires evidence which you haven't provided.

    If you were to provide anything tangible to go on rather than reiterating your point I might consider it further. If not it's actually yourself pursuing unfounded idealist theories.

    It's not novel to me, I've heard other spiritualists spout similar nonsense many times before.

  • Universe-is-a-brain theory, got it.

    Trouble is the burden of proof lies with you on that.

  • Rocks aren't conscious.

    Rocks have existed longer than brains.

  • Unfortunately they're not talking about IIT.

    So more/less controversial depending on your views on mysticism I suppose.

  • Well then sounds like you're suggesting the universe is consciousness in and of itself as many religions do.

    I thought you were talking about panpsychism which at least has potential paths to falsifiability.

  • So just to be clear, you think an electron is conscious in some small way? Or are you saying consciousness exists with or without matter?

  • I visited the public static void and returned with nothing but deprecative looks.

  • They have been hired predominantly because of their ability to not question what they are told.

    They arrived at a somewhat defendable decision despite the AI slop though.

    Probably should have been a limited number of fans allowed, the number based on the ability to protect them with the police resources available at the time.

  • Ok, I disagree with Cory Doctorow due to the modus operandi of any tech organisation trying to turn a profit in a late stage capitalistic society along with the more detailed reasons others have provided in this post.

    And I'm tired of the Guardian publishing hopium articles.

  • Getting pretty tired of the Guardian's copium tbh.

  • I see the ongoing slide into labelling anything mildy analytical as autistic is in full swing.

  • Hate to break it to you but sending them job openings and code camps counts as bringing this up.

  • Ok but if they are smart like OP claims they will surely already know they're unlikely to have money if they don't get a job at some point. If OP keeps bringing that up it's pretty condescending.
