Advaita (non duality) is the highest intellectual achievement of the human civilization.
The list itself mentioned is interesting but it focuses on content of consciousness and not consciousness itself. The contents keep changing. Consciousness doesn't.
In other words humans appearing in consciousness discovering consciousness is more interesting than what appears on consciousness like laws of motion.
This is not to say Pythagorean laws are not cool.
It's cool. But it's just a ripple in consciousness.

Close your eyes. Where does the darkness appear?
- bananaflag 6mo agoWhy Advaita and not Dzogchen? Just something to think about.
- hwhehwhehegwggw 6mo agoFrom my understanding they all point to consciousness. I mentioned Advaita because I think it's focus on logic is probably a a good gateway for HN Audience. But for audience who wants more options https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondualism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondualism
- amelius 6mo agoAre you sure? After trying to read into it a bit, I'm getting the feeling that this theory does not solve many practical problems and leaves more questions than answers, e.g.: does my AI (or my GPU) have a consciousness, should it have rights, etc.?
- hwhehwhehegwggw 6mo agoConsciousness belong to nobody. You appear in it.
