   I've been researching and thinking about consciousness (and specifically the hard problem) for a while now, and while the whole discussion is interesting, it seems to me that invoking qualia as evidence for the existence of the hard pr

   No such luck with the iPhone X, though. Apple's investment in its tech - which saw the company work with a Hollywood studio to create realistic masks to test Face ID - has clearly paid off. It was impossible to break in with the model.

   This is a very good point - as long as your goal is really and only to have the opinion that is closest to the truth, and you're completely open to changing it when new evidence comes. In other words, if you are really discussing becau

    That's by far the best solution.

    Exactly. If you can't consciously choose to turn off your phone and go read a book, you never had anything that remotely resembles free will.

    I don't think all of these are a problem per se. The problem is (and probably always was) people with empty minds. Sure, now they can fill it more easily with junk, but the whole point of technology is to make life easier after all. If

    Well, the cold war was much more severe. I meant to ask "Could this last 50 years, involve many proxy battles and grow to a cold-war-scale political tension?".

    Could this turn into into a cold-war-like exchange of pleasantries?

    Every time I read an article like this, I get a bad feeling and I say to myself "I'll definitely exercise more - I don't wanna be all buggy when I get older due to my lifestyle - I'll do this NOW!". Then a couple of

    While everything you said is true, I think it misses the point. It's clear that in order to have a reasonable discussion, we need to have two reasonable people who are willing to discuss. And you may just include "is not a conspir

    Maybe uniting with humans in general is also a reasonable option.

    Thanks for this very detailed and well written comment. I'm a physics student, so this is tremendously interesting and useful. Thanks.

    This is amazing. It never ceases to amaze how much complex behaviour can emerge from gravitation. After black holes, neutron stars, gravitational waves, solar systems, this is yet another example of a structure that arises from gravitation

    I could never find one that is as well thought and as well written as Sublime, and I've tried many, many others before.

    Well, the argument about being blocked from reading to your kids is a pretty good one. Never thought of it like that. You convinced me. Thanks.

    Why? I don't see any way in which it would be "fair" to get an advantage (or disadvantage) because you happen to have been born in a particular family, which is a random process. Of course, there are implementation difficulti

    While it is true that some people probably need a nanny, I feel like forcing everybody to have a nanny is highly unfair and not a viable solution.
