      Puzzling: @danieldennet explains consciousness away as an illusion and @seancarroll thinks it evaporates as uninteresting. While philosophy and physics like challenging phenomena; wouldn’t understanding consciousness radically redefine our place in animal kingdom and Nature?https://twitter.com/FLIxrisk/status/1333973160467722240 …

      Was great speaking with @seanmcarroll! We explore consciousness, free will, intellectual movements throughout history, lessons to extract for the 21st century, and if the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics affects utilitarian thought. https://futureoflife.org/2020/12/01/sean-carroll-on-consciousness-physicalism-and-the-history-of-intellectual-progress/ …

      It is like calling an optical illusion is only an illusion and think that is a good explanation of it.

      Illusions can expose a discrepancy between the perceived phenomena and the actual fact (e.g. colors are equal). Does consciousness as illusion means that perceived integrated visual and multisensory experience is not happening? @danieldennettpic.twitter.com/E2U62lf1zd

      Replying to @Abel_TorresM @seancarroll @danieldennett

      My point is: saying that something is an illusion implies that there is an experience. It is not a negation of it. So it does not constitute an explanation of refutation of that experience at all.

      My question to Dennett is: can AI also experience this illusion?

      Yes of course. Not today’s AIs but in principle yes.

          My problem with the notion "illusion" in this context that it implies perceiving something incorrectly. However, consciousness is solely defined by the internal experience, so there can't be any "wrong" way experiencing it. The mystery is the fact of *any* experience at all.

          Replying to @ChrSzegedy @danieldennett and

          Yes. The word "illusion" can be too easily misinterpreted.
