I'm familiar with approaches like that, but they've always struck me as supremely silly. Answers like that miss entirely the problem, the uniqueness and the mystery of consciousness. (But then I'm one of those despised classical theists who think that consciousness is best explained by postulating a divine origin for the world - an answer desperately out of fashion these days.)
- robotresearcher 11y agoOn the contrary, Greenfield's proposal directly and explicitly addresses "the problem, the uniqueness and the mystery of consciousness" and proposes a simple solution which explains them. Just because you think she's wrong doesn't mean you can dismiss the argument as missing the point. She knows the area very well. I don't attempt to present her argument, just the proposal. The book is interesting.
