- sebastianconcpt 12y agoSomething that you might find interesting: There are two basic lines of thought here, the hard-electron AI school of thought that pushes the emergent hypothesis and the "Consciousness is not Computation" school of thought that accepts that Mind is Computation but states that Consciousness is something else. Tip: the AI hypothesis does NOT explain nor predicts the thing that a Paramesium can do. https://www.singularityweblog.com/stuart-hameroff-quantum-consciousness/ https://www.singularityweblog.com/stuart-hameroff-quantum-co...
- danielbarla 12y ago> the AI hypothesis does NOT explain nor predicts the thing that a Paramesium can do. Can you elaborate? Off the top of my head, I believe Paramecia display slightly above amoeba-like intelligence; what I'm missing is the leap to how a theory of emergent consciousness would not be able to explain this.
- albertzeyer 12y agoYes, exactly. That's the Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) theory about the Neocortex. According to him, "consciousness is simply what it feels like to have a neocortex". I.e. it's a global property. Some more here: http://vinodwadhawan.blogspot.de/2014/03/122-hawkins-model-for-intelligence-and.html http://vinodwadhawan.blogspot.de/2014/03/122-hawkins-model-f...
