New poll: which comes first for you:
@gravity_levity test case: simple biomimicry of a poisonous butterfly by a non-poisonous one. Is that lying? Or is intentionality necessary?

@vgr That seems like a linguistic question, whether you equate evolution-selected deception with "lying". -
@gravity_levity I think there's a definitional issue: a diff between what you believe and why you assert, and what it means to hold/assert

@vgr How consciousness emerges from the physical reality is a very hard question (although there are smart people thinking about it!) -
@gravity_levity yeah, I've followed that lit for a while, and the conclusions I find most compelling conclude it's a property of matter - Show replies
