Why does teleporation require "copying?"

Neuro-diverse isn't going to help...your logic is flawed because we aren't dealing with a material equivalency... Neuro-typical --> misrepresentation ... A -> B does not mean ~A -> ~B -- (if you are using "neuro-diverse" as a strict negation of "neuro-typical")

First Question: Reference Quote: """ Call this the “contraction principle”: (CP) “Phenomenality” is a property of certain integrated, global brain states. The brains of neurotypical human beings misrepresent this objectively given property of phenomenality by contracting it into a...

Firstly, how do you know we don't agree if both of our expressions are unclear? I don't think that Metzinger's hypothesis begins with "our" but perhaps digs deeper into the "our." So I don't think Metzinger would even pursue the terms you stand or depend on ...nor would he need to to make his...

Amusing """ Call this the “contraction principle”: (CP) “Phenomenality” is a property of certain integrated, global brain states. The brains of neurotypical human beings misrepresent this objectively given property of phenomenality by contracting it into a transparent conscious self-model...

Technically correct Illusion (noun) A thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses. So... A mind trying to percieve it's own methods of doing the same may be something like your head standing in the way of a vanishing point of recursive images reflected...

Constance...how does Humphrey's view compare to Thomas Metzinger's thesis? https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262633086/?tag=rockoids-20

No it was just a clarification--I cannot remember why I rephrased myself.

To be clear, I was rephrasing what I said as an clarification to something I said while answering another question which I've already forgot... "Rather than Consciousness from nothing invades "unthinking" matter... " Rephrased: [i.e. ] Consciousness as something fundamentally different from...

Which is why I said "...rather than"-- I agree with you wholeheartedly.

"Rather than Consciousness from nothing invades "unthinking" matter... " Consciousness as something fundamentally different from matter invading and taking control...like a spirit taking "possession" of something alien to itself

Accept the re-writing "what is [likely omitted] the case?" "Do we KNOW that?" No...point made. Question remade = "if we are 100% ___ that is " "Do we know ___?" I am only applying the razor in it's literal sense: "Entities should not be multiplied without necessity." What kind of...

I am sorry for being tardy--had spring break vacation, issues, and more crises afterward.... I will try to catch up.

Interesting...why not just accept the point that conscious matter exists...if we are 100% matter that is. The problem is that some have already placed matter alongside another fundamental that isn't "matter"...but why? Occam's Razor...matter has the potential to self-organize and experience...

A bit of irritation on my part...it is as if the US woke up last week. I am more afraid of the actions of panicked humans than the actual virus threat. That being said, I am keeping to the "best practices" and will probably be working from home for a few weeks. China is recovering...

Sorry for being out of touch -- had a lot of simultaneous personal crises to deal with :( What I want the "observation to do" is stew a bit in our "heads" (or whatever). I don't actually push for any "project" to proceed. Such "projects" will proceed on their "own" with or without our...

Let's revisit then "But as I tried to suggest before, those involved over the last half-century in the project of attempting to produce 'consciousness' in computers and robots have obviously had some idea [at least a vague idea] of what it is they are trying to produce mechanically. Yet...

But if humans are already one of billions of nodes in the great chain of reproducing DNA and RNA machines in a temporal "tree" of evolving replicators...and in addition admittedly are baffled by their own "studies" of "consciousness" ... why would it be so absurd to stumble on the next stage of...
