      What makes discussions with people who are convinced that there can be no rational explanation for consciousness so difficult is that they mostly won’t be prepared to argue the question via rational explanations

      Is that actually true? What's an example of this?

      I don’t expect Christof Koch, Francois Chollet or David Chapman to meaningfully engange with critics of their position

      This is funny to me, because not only do I frequently engage in debates about consciousness with people with differing opinions -- I also believe the opposite of the leading tweet. Consciousness is a natural phenomenon for which there should be a scientific explanation.

      In general, though, when I engage in these discussion it is to point out mistakes or to state what we don't actually know. I do not try to push a specific theory of consciousness, because I don't have one.

      I do have several ideas of what consciousness is and how it works, but like everyone else's, they aren't backed by solid evidence, so I don't the point in trying to assert these ideas as the one true explanation.

      If you strongly believe you understand consciousness, to me, that's a clear sign that you understand it even less than I do (this statement not directed at the original poster, just a general fact).

          That is such a condescending comment though, @fchollet I would not count out what @Plinz figured out. I think if you two have a chat, in a format better than twitter, you would both get valuable signals out of it. Everything both of you output to the internet is gold.
