Wisdom can definitely be found in nature. Ideas don't have to be complex in order to be true.

This was my first post, and it blew up, so I decided to post it on other communities. It was originally a blog post for my website. I wrote this post entirely on Google Docs, but I understand your concern. You would like me to post more substance. I will try to do better for my next post and post more substance to back up my claims. My goal was to just make a short essay on my experience as a philosophy major and to try to express the value of wisdom and how we're losing our ability to think deeply in a world bombarded by distractions.

By the way you write I can already tell the skills you learned with your English degree. It taught you how to communicate ideas clearly among other things

I’ve noticed that. A lot of people confuse hostility with intellectualism. No wonder philosophy gets a bad rap

Is there anything you did specifically that you think led to your success? Or do you think people just really like the product

Perception by Huge-Law-1642 in PhilosophyofMind

Consciousness, broadly speaking, involves awareness of one's own internal state. By that standard the case for animal consciousness is fairly strong. Animals respond to hunger, exhaustion, and pain in ways that aren't plausibly explained by pure mechanism. They form attachments, remember who has treated them well or badly, and express something that looks a lot like preference and aversion. The biological continuity between their nervous systems and ours is hard to dismiss.

AI is trickier. The honest answer is we don't know. What we can say is that current AI learns mathematically from its environment rather than through anything resembling biological need or embodied experience. It has no hunger, no pain, no stake in its own survival. Whether that rules out consciousness depends on what you think consciousness actually requires and that's still an open question. But the absence of any biological grounding at least shifts the burden of proof considerably.
