These consciousness theories and quantum theories, don't actually change the technical aspects of Darwin's evolution.
Even if irreducible consciousness did exist, as you claim, Darwin's theory still remains the same, unchanged, as sound as ever. Many new-agers are so stupid that they think these new theories negate Darwin. They don't. Impersonal consciousness, impersonal creation, impersonal evolution. --- "s3raphita" <s3raphita@..> wrote: > > The point of the Chinese Room thought experiment being to > show that consciousness can't be reduced to computation > (as the advocates of AI like to pretend they believe). > Searle is right about that.
