Seems to have conflated consciousness with the illusion of self and therefore doesn't get epiphenomenal qualia.
@SamHarrisOrg@Intrinsic29 -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg Your definition of consciousness seems to beg the question that epiphenomenal qualia exists. His doesn't. -
Subjective experience exists, that is the one thing we can be absolutely certain of.
@Intrinsic29@SamHarrisOrg -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg The paper doesn't deny that. It describes how subjective experience might work. -
Subjectivity doesn't actually do anything objective, that's the whole point.
@Intrinsic29@SamHarrisOrg -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg I don't see your point and it seems like you're presuming more than is safe about subjectivity. -
Unsafe how? Do you believe in some sort of "free will"? Subjectivity experiences stuff, that's why we value it.
@Intrinsic29@SamHarrisOrg -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg Unsafe as in I don't think your conclusion is safely inferable from existing data.
