If you cannot post a picture of the ''you'' that feels and senses, then just say so, it's about being honest.

DAM, you're in a standoff with a person who spends all their online time on the forum denouncing everyone else's "inferiority" (including racial) compared to him. It aint gonna happen. Free yourself before you become overly invested. If it's a chatbot you'll go insane trying to reason with it. If it's a human being you'll go insane trying to get him or her to figure out when game time is over.
It's ok Gary, I won't be driven insane by wizz kid.

I'm glad you're having fun. Just don't get too caught up in it is my advice. Been there done that.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 2:45 pmIt's ok Gary, I won't be driven insane by wizz kid.

I rather like laughing at myself, in fact I think I will probably die laughing, when that time comes, and I'm quite relaxed and cool about being entertained by the characters within this artificial dream of separation, so whether I live laughing, or die laughing, I have no particular preference. It's the funniest movie I've ever watched.
It's caught me, and there ain't nothing I can do about that. So might as well, ride the wave, since it's inseparable from the ocean.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 2:50 pmI'm glad you're having fun. Just don't get too caught up in it is my advice.

Is there any alternative?
I don't know. I try to self-regulate, but even that doesn't seem to please everyone around me. And when others around me aren't pleased, then I'm not pleased either. I used to joke about EVERYTHING. Then one day the joking came to an abrupt halt when I was officially institutionalized in a hospital for the mentally ill. It pretty much broke my spirit completely. Since that day I can't even laugh at a cartoon. The ability has been utterly wrenched out of my mind.

Consciousness is a fairytale.
I am me. Which part of me is my "consciousness"?
That's the human part.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 6:09 pm Presumably the part that saw my text and felt "challenged" by my assertion and maybe didn't "like" it. Unless you're just AI running nothing more than a sequence of mechanical steps.
No thing ever looked at your text.
If you're saying that consciousness cannot be seen, touched, smelled or detected with any scientific instrument, then I agree. If you're saying that there is no such "thing" as consciousness (or that consciousness does not "exist"), then we diverge there.
