I mean specifically on this question of consciousness as 2nd order simulation. Other stuff, sure we diverge. I’m all for Divergentism. Neurodiversity ftw and everybody doesn’t have to process things the same way. I think I understand, and am understood by, about 10% of minds,.

That is not a bad quota for someone who thinks a lot. I suspect that you focus on being a publicist more than on being a philosopher?

That was not my intention. I am not prescriptive, I am just trying to understand your motivation.

I noticed that I prize meaning over relevance. Relevance is backed up by the promise of an actual, material reward. Since I don't seem to see the value of actual rewards (why should I strive for them?), I appear to need a transcendental, terminal reward anticipation.

From my perspective, your thinking often appears to stop two steps before the actual summit, and then take off in a different direction. That does not mean that this is objectively true, but perhaps that I measure the height of the reward landscape differently.

I’m fine with that perception of my behavior/thinking

It is empirically accurate, modulo a sort of optical illusion that doesn’t matter, and a bit of projection, which is 10x better than most people ever understand anyone. You’d be able to predict my actions pretty well with that model. Probably only need a small shell script

Oh, no! That was not an understanding of how you operate, only a characterization of the observation, which results from projecting your actions on my own surface. I don't yet see WHY you seem to stop and deviate, for which I possibly need a meta-perspective.

A simple hypothesis for what you are doing would be that a publicist does not depend on getting things right in the face of the immortals because the immortals are dead and don't buy you lunch. A publicist needs to be tightly constrained to the currently dominant discourse.

I do like lunch, and I certainly don’t give a crap about the immortals, so you’re on the right track at least

Are you worried about lunch? (I don't mean to ask: are you justified in doing so? I just want to know how much that motivates you.)
