The "who" is the set that is conscious. Just like a prime number is prime without having any external force make it so or requiring anything to embody the primeness. Primality is in the nature of the natural numbers. The claim is that consciousness is in the nature of sets. The latter does not yet have experimental evidence. It seems as reasonable to me as other possibilities like electrons are conscious or quantum fields are conscious mostly because both of those are well-described by mathematics.
- thriftwy 3y agoWhy do I feel like I am living in time if I am actually not in a simulation, not a Boltzmann brain, but just a random seed that is not written on a piece of paper anywhere? What is the meaning of all this, then? You are reiterating cheezy stuff about "nature" and quantum fields, ignoring the random seed part.
