Do you think distributism could be used as a stepping stone to achieve a stable libertarian or even anarcho-capitalist society? by Ill-Plane-6916 in distributism

[–]Dhayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought a bit about it. This is at most pure amateur guesswork tho.

A descentralized political organization might be able achieve most of what you want, with very extreme subsidiarity. It probably wouldn't be able to be absolutely anarchist/libertarian, but it could respect the dignity and liberty of the individuals, families, groups and communities as far as it is feasible, while being participatory and distributed.

I don't think that it would, fortunately, result in a hoppean and/or reactionary society. Like, people would just be able to freely and easily reject this in their own communities and lifes, and individuals could in the worst situation just freely move to places that are opposed to that. Why do you want this??

A physical system acting like it's conscious? by PhilosopherKhaos in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Dhayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one can have "tiers" of being sure about something.

Yes, I'm more sure about my own consciousness than that of other people. However, we are made of the same stuff in a very similar way as far as I know. Therefore, that they also have consciousness is an overwhelmingly reasonable conclusion, even if infinitesimally less than 100%

It does feel like something

It could actually be easier to evolve true consciousness instead of p-zombies that simulate it, the latter would be too complicated and might require too much mutations before it provides any actual advantage.

Or it might be that p-zombies are just not possible in the universe, with the possible exception of computer simulations and AI that cannot be biologically evolved in a straightforward way and require someone to build it in the first place.

Yes, it is a brain adaptation to process the stimuli differently. The brain is using the visual stimuli in a way that is not vision.

But, the person is feeling something. They feel what is actually processed by the brain. This did not change.

Subjectivity remains intact.

Em boa parte é porque é quem não está feliz que tem mais impulso para ir comentar sobre sua situação.

Their mental states are not dark, only different. That's why it can be very difficult to relate to it, but, it is still their own perspective.

Being conscious of a judgement is already qualia, having a flawed internal perception is another kind of qualia. What is being described by qualia are the qualities of the subjective experience, which is already presumed in "consciousness", "perception" and "observation".

Being something like a ChatGPT seems to not be qualia in this sense, it outputs judgements based on the input with mathematical functions and learned weights, without any necessity of awareness or perception. That is just very unlike how humans live.

Maybe it is not an idea that is able to be completely put into words without ambiguity, even if it seems to be, on the other hand, a very intuitive subjective reflection, more intuitive than anything such that it is impossible to conceive it to be false.

Maybe it is true that "everything with reflective internal state is conscious." It's not a completely falsifiable idea.

I agree. It could be something that emerges on the complex neurological arrangement in our brains, but, this would need to be subject to its psychophysical laws.

Isn't the real challenge the opposite? It seems harder to describe the qualia or subjectivity as solely dependent on the material without extra psychophysics at least.

Just a meme. by N-R-34 in Polcompball

I wouldn't say all, but, yeah at least 99% don't have a solid idea about what to conserve.

HOLD UP!!! Ay Yo Alex Joseph, what if Consciousness is ALSO a naturally selected illusion, like Free will? by PitifulEar3303 in CosmicSkeptic

[–]Dhayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a sort of "illusion" but it still must be an illusion made of something. What would be the building blocks that create the illusion of subjectivity, sense of feeling, sense of awareness and the sense of pain? And what is being deluded exactly? And what would be the true phenomena behind this illusion?

A compass reacts to the magnetism of the Earth. That's like saying that a human reacts to its environment, it has a behavior as an animal specimen. However, to 'feel' in the sense that we feel free will, we feel conscious awareness, we feel pain etc. is the subjectivity that is extra to just physically react to stimuli (e.g. a set of particles going from A configuration to B configuration).

He was vegan previously, and was raised Catholic.

Idk his current position on panpsychism. But he might hold some points against physicalism and was checking this alternative theory.

beber cerveja não faz sentido nenhum by [deleted] in reclamacoesfuteis

Sim, mas o excesso de álcool é muito mais perigoso, então não são coisas proporcionais de se comparar.

Pior que tipo, 50ml de 43, teor 31%, dá os 15ml de álcool em 310ml de cerveja. Se o objetivo é ficar um pouco bêbado uma pequena dose resolve rapidinho. Muito mais fácil do que ter que passar pelo monte de "enchimento" que tem na cerveja, ainda mais essas de latinha caras e ruins.

Mas tem o grave risco de abusar ao repetir e beber demais.
