But beach sand DOES compute, once treated and arranged in a certain way. The ability to compute is present in all matter. The ability for consciousness is present in all matter in the same way. Perhaps these abilities are one and the same.

But theoretically you could just as well be a philosophical zombie, getting up and making a sandwhich. Electrical lights on in the brain but no light of consciousness.

Well, thats the future magic world of building things with proteins. So, no you wouldn't put ketchup in a lemon, but you might have what appears to be a typical ketchup packet,appears to be made of plastic, but is actually some mix of

I think 'assuming good faith' may be the issue, as it cannot usually be reasonably assumed, and without it, everything good about this falls apart. In that trip of 300, I don't think what you set up quite aligns with the way

Do you think that means they don't get paid? Non-profit itself isn't a super meaningful term as far as if profits are being made or not. To be a non-profit, many hoops have to be jumped through, certain forms of profit have to b

Realistically, how could a project be setup around this? I mean, how do we get everyday normal people to use it? Its been attempted before (namecoin etc)...but maybe some advantage could be given to make it more attractive.

I think its a bit more complex than that, maybe something like if (memory.timestamp < YESTERDAY && memory.significance < 0.1) { delete(memory); } else { dream_playback(memory).then((score) => { memory.si

I think maybe a good way to go is a compromise - Since you're already taking efforts to protect privacy without needing to trust you, thats already a good start. But maybe you need some kind of ID to tie behavior together, so you do r

You're right, that sentence captures it entirely, the rest is additional words but not additional meaning.

Nope, this kinda thing should be limited to opt-in beta testing.

thats one of the most awesome aspects of them, they are self-packaged. Most of the benefits of plastic, with none of the downsides. The only additional downside it might have that plastic doesn't is it decays and smells bad if youdon

Thats true, but there's no good way to just 'fix' it all. However, don't make the test expensive. Basically, make it economically equal to as great a degree as possible. Some will still be disadvantaged of course, but

Since it does in fact have racist origins, maybe a campaign could be organized to make more aware of this? seems like the kind of thing that pretty much everyone except racists would be for, and so its just a matter of getting the word spre

The key is balance between chaos and order. Too much change all the time and things are too chaotic for anything good to stick. Too little and nothing ever changes (orderly but pointless). Just right and things continually improve.

I don't assume that the stuff is forever beyond physical explaination, and like I said we can perform science on the behavior of it. But ultimately the scientific method will always conclude that its ultimately an illusion and that th

Pain is objectively bad. Even if in a greater moral system pain is necessary to balance things and so is "good" in that sense, even then it would be a necessary evil. (keyword evil) If there were a way without it, that would be

But theres also "I know many things and people claim I'm smart, but I insist on feeling stupid anyways, and part of the rationale for that is because I do X....oh you say smart people do X? Maybe I'm pretty okay then"
