Some posts of this list that mix conscuousness with physics resembles me third age gurus. This at least is randomly generared by a program.


Tibetan have a word for this "spiritual materialism", the misuse of physics on consciousness. I really think that computationalism prevents this, in explaining that the physical reality arise from number consciousness. And it works up to now: the quantum magic is explained by the digital seen by the digital, qualitatively (manydream/ many worlds), and formally, as I have explained here and elsewhere.

Note all use of physics is bad. For a non-computationalist, the idea that consciousness reduces the wave packet is not entirely unreasonable, as it leads to real difficulties (which in fact eventually refuites that idea), but of course nobody in this list believe in the reduction of the wave packet.

Note that the whole of Aristotle philosophy is not so much better, but at least, it does not try to explain consciousness, only to hide the problem.
