- bee_rider 1y agoThe matter would have consciousness, but I guess the simulation would be of a different consciousness, made of processing. Although, our brains also are doing computation, and also seem to have consciousness. Are they linked? Why/why not… This is animism, right? It is a religious belief. Not really subject to testing.
