        More accurate rephrasing of meaning behind Descartes' "Cogito Ergo Sum".

        Descartes was more extreme, since he refereed specifically to HIS consciousness, thus implying Solipsism.

        OK, but as a rationalist I think he would have said that this is a priori knowledge

        If consciousness turned out to be nothing more than computation, would you consider that an illusion? @SamHarrisOrg @plachine

        Clearly anywhere? He often supports the so-called 'hard problem' and/or epiphenomenalism so it seems unclear. @ludwig_raal @SamHarrisOrg

        Yes, he thinks it's a hard problem. But he doesn't discount the possibility of it arising through information processing.

        But does he mean arising as in once it gets complex enough, a mysterious phenomenon arises from it? Seems to suggest this...

        The idea that 'consciousness can't be an illusion' doesn't depend on how it arises. Read 'Waking Up'. At least twice!

        Plus check out his episode with David Chalmers. Also requires multiple listens imo
