Ok you can have your radically skeptic hard materialist rhetoric. I just don’t take it seriously, and I don’t think you do either. It’s like those people who insist there is no free will and yet go about their day clearly making choices and

I actually don’t need to prove to you that I’m more than a BASIC program. I mean listen to yourself. You simply don’t live in the real world. If your mom died and we replaced her with a program that printed a bunch of statements that were d

Do I seriously have to prove to you that you like ice cream? Have you tried it? If you sincerely believe you are a husk whose language generation is equivalent to some linear algebra then why even engage in a conversation with me? Why shoul

If you think we're only our observable behaviors or that is the only relevant thing to you then I don't think it's worth getting into this argument. Consider this excerpt from https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=709

You're not being pedantic at all. It's a crucial distinction that people try to wave away in favor of hype. Especially since we are so vulnerable to anthropomorphizing.

I see that the stated reason for the name is that today would have been Nabokov's 125th birthday. But Nabokov had other works (why not call it palefire?) and this could have been released on any particular day. So the connection is ten
