Conscious experience is evidence that the brain doesn't something we have no idea how to compute. One could argue that computation is an abstraction from collective experience, in which the conscious qualities of experiences are removed in order to mathematize the world, so we can make computable models.
- TchoBeer 4y agoare you sure? If conscious experience was a computational process, could we prove or disprove that?
- goatlover 4y agoIf someone could show the computational process for a conscious experience.
- TchoBeer 4y agoHow could one show such a thing?
- goatlover 4y agoIf it can't be shown, then doesn't that strongly suggest that consciousness isn't computable? I'm not saying it isn't correlated with the equivalent of computational processes in the brain, but that's not the same thing as there being a computation for consciousness itself. If there was, it could in principle be shown.
