I think the HN community can do better re Wolfram. He is productive and accomplished, and another poster said long ago great to work with. In his interview with Fridman he appears quite enjoyable. It seems Wolfram has a good record of not being factually wrong. Now, regarding this article. I don't know enough math or physics (he has a PHD from Caltech) to be able to judge it on those terms. I also don't know enough philosophy or neurology to be able to pick apart his definition of consciousness. On the other hand, like most of us, I've thought and read about what consciousness might be, and this article expands my thinking space.
