Call me sceptical, but I have two issues to get over first.

1) We are still struggling to understand what consciousness means/is, so anything written/thought about it is very much in the realms of a *postulates*; and,

2) The discourse on the subject is Euro-centric and leaves other major civilisations aside.

Disclosure: I know nothing about the subject of your masto conversation. But it doesn’t indicate a lack of interest.

If I’m budding in and it’s bothersome, just tell me off… nicely please.

🧠⚙️ #Brain vs. #Computer – Why the #Analogy Falls Short

Is the human brain really just a biological supercomputer? A metaphor that, upon closer inspection, falls short by a wide margin!

I have not kept up with the scholarly literature on the "hard problem", but I am inclined to think that Rovelli is on the right track here.

🧠💻 The Big #Fallacy: Why Our #Brain Isn't a #Computer

The popular #brain-computer analogy misses the mark entirely. The brain doesn't run on code; it works fundamentally differently from any #computer.

Objective reality is a heuristic resulting from constraints of subject-object grammar. Nagel asked What's it like to be a bat? But more fundamentally, what's it like to be human?

⚛️#Matter and #Mind ✨ – two sides of the same #reality🌍?

In this #Zoomposium with #GodehardBrüntrup, we explore precisely this question – at the intersection of #metaphysics, #philosophyofmind, and modern #consciousnessresearch.

In his #guest post on #philosophies, Dr. #WolfgangStegemann proposes a radical reformulation.

Wolfgang describes #consciousness not as a mysterious addition to #matter, but as a #state of a #system that occurs when certain #structural conditions are met.

🧠 #Cognition is embodied 🫃

Perception, thought, and feeling are inextricably linked to the #body.

In the #Zoomposium with Thomas Fuchs, we talk about #embodiment, #consciousness, and #AI—and ask: Does the #body play a role in decision-making?

The Ai community displays "Womb envy":

AI researchers often confuse computation with consciousness—but they are not the same. Computation is medium-independent—it can run on paper, a calculator, or a computer. But consciousness? It isn’t just an algorithm. It only appears in biological systems, meaning it depends on life itself.
