I actually really like this idea. It fits well with my understanding of truth as the degree to which some perception meshes with our other...
The thing that I disagree with is that good/bad is fundamentally different than any other indivisible event. When we think about good and bad it...
I agree that there could be consciousness without a concept of I. But in humans the concept of I is the meaning that a neuron or perhaps a set or...
I am interested in hearing more about how we would create such a model. We have a hard enough time determining PEM in humans and we don't have the...
Is this also an idea of Leibniz? Are you suggesting that good and bad and true and false exist apart from the meaning that our neurons provide?...
I could attempt to argue all day about what we can know and what math is, but I think we agree on enough of the main points (just maybe disagree...
I agree with the bulk of this. If nothing exists except in the mind of the observer, it seems strange that we would get the sense data that we do....
You may be right that Leibniz is more deserving and probes deeper than these others. I will need to read him and try to understand how these ideas...
One other way I just thought about this might be that there isn't any gravity, red, or cat that is presenting itself to the neuron. It is the...
I had a similar kind of thought last night but with dogs. When a dog barks to signal something they must be trying to get a human neuron to fire....
I will give them a read because this stuff greatly interests me. I think there is something very important in the way language mirrors how...
Meaning as the correspondence with the physical also vindicates Descartes’ Cogito. The statement “I think therefore I am” has something meant by’...
Thank you for this. This is amazing stuff and I am honestly surprised these ideas are not more popular. I really like the cellular sweet spot...
After thinking about it, I actually agree there is no explanation in this case. However, I would argue that this situation is fundamentally...
It's also amazing that if this is how the brain functions than what I learned in school about being made up of cells is so much more true than I...
Your paper on roles for the individual neurons is great. I had to spend a few days thinking about it, but the vast majority of parts I understand...
Thank you, I plan on looking through these and giving some a read when my brain isn't fried from too much thinking!
Ok, I've been trying to fully grasp what “know what they mean” is referring to, so I wanted to try and give a more concrete example. I like the...
I have no issue with there being no enduring self. Conscious experience only exists at the current instant and must update with the same speed as...
Ok I think I understand what you mean. 'That sense' is some kind of intuition that probably has some evolutionary advantage. It is in a similar...
