Re: Are you the only conscious being in this universe?
So how would consciousness be an advantage to survival, as opposed to the organic humanoid automaton? Not sure I fully understood the latter part of the question, but I don't think human-like consciousness is necessarily an advantage to survival overall. For humans specifically, intelligence is/was...

Re: Are you the only conscious being in this universe?
I'd also explain the species chauvinism, and all the resultant branches of philosophy, theology, linguistics, as being a function of life itself. We have to think we're special to reproduce- both in the specific individual sense and in the collective sense. We are the most sophisticated problem sol...

Re: Are you the only conscious being in this universe?
Consciousness is as consciousness does. Either that or it's a category error. I dunno. I find the whole solipsism angle to be an unnecessary attack against object permanence. I find it inelegant. Sure, there might be some deus ex machina lurking out there to take a dump on the final act, but if I fo...

Re: AAA: Ask America Anything
I'd just straight up ask them. Is there some reason to beat around the bush? But if the person in question spoke unaccented Canadian English, I would just assume they were born here unless something obvious came up (like them talking about their homeland if it is not Canada). Mostly asking for shit...
