I don't know the truth, but I think I have coherent models that can explain my observations. And my opinions are fully independent of what other people think of me for having them :)

beautiful that's what we like to hear :) all the "shitting on" was joking, nothin serious. everyone definitely respects you & your ideas.
@algekalipso and Mike and others at QRI are critical of functionalism as expressed in this article: https://opentheory.net/2017/07/why-i-think-the-foundational-research-institute-should-rethink-its-approach/ …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
Fwiw, I disagree with Brian's perspective, mostly because it is not functionalist enough (I think consciousness is a simulated property that arises over very specific functionality, it is not somehow identical with computation or what it feels like to be an algorithm).

Most of the disagreements are subtle terminological things, however. I think that I am mostly on the same page as @algekalipso. I also value all disagreements between smart and sincere people, it's the main source of intellectual progress.
