No, you don’t need consciousness at all, a bunch of rules and a primary objective (profit maximization) is enough even on lowly meatspace CPUs despite us being given the ability to reason and introspect we are so proud of.
- mistermann 3y agoI dunno...if the nature of human consciousness/culture was different than it currently is, I think capitalism as it is would not be able to exist without being reined in democratically (which is how we're told things work) or otherwise. But then, I suspect we'll never find out the truth of the matter.
