Hmm I just realized I don't have the phenotype to Santa max in my old age. I'll never be a jolly, rosy cheeked ol chap.

Human beings will never be 100% rational. Dennet was looking in vain.

>Consciousness is a tool used by the brain to interface with itself
Doesn't seem like a bad explanation to me. Sure, it doesn't really explain exactly how that works, but it's not like there's a better explanation.

>>24765646
>>Consciousness is a tool used by the brain to interface with itself
Why does a p-zombie brain need to "interface" with itself?
>Doesn't seem like a bad explanation to me.
You haven't thought about it.
>Sure, it doesn't really explain exactly how that works, but it's not like there's a better explanation.
The actual explanation is far more mystical than atheist cuck naturalist philosophers let on.

>>24765712
>p-zombies
Low IQ thought experiment.

>you haven't thought about it
Yes, I have.

>The actual explanation is far more mystical than atheist cuck naturalist philosophers let on.
Consciousness can be explained entirely in materialistic terms.

>Why does a p-zombie brain need to "interface" with itself?
people aren't p-zombies BECAUSE their brains have to interface with themselves. If your brain doesn't know what's going on inside itself it would be incapable of thinking. In order to create higher level thought processes inside the brain, it has to be able to synthesize and interact with the processes already happening inside it. It does this by creating an image of the thoughts inside it.
>You haven't thought about it.
you don't know what I have and haven't thought about, nigger.

jeffery epstein gathered intellectual figures around himself as a status symbol. doesn't mean they were all pedophiles.

>Low IQ thought experiment.
Low IQ is thinking your language algorithm AI is capable of consciousness because it's capable of recursion, as you put it.
>Yes, I have.
No, you haven't. You chose the answer that would appeal to common consensus the most, like all fake philosophers.
>Consciousness can be explained entirely in materialistic terms.
Yes, in the nonsensical framework of materialism, consciousness is tautologically a physical process like everything else ever conceived according to it.

They don't actually care about the problems of self, first person perceiver, or questions such as "Why am I this person and not that person" i.e. the vertiginous question because materialism isn't actually taking consciousness into account to begin with. It's all just a completely sterile machine of morphogenesis unfolding... because it just is, okay?!
>>24765723
>people aren't p-zombies BECAUSE their brains have to interface with themselves.
That's clearly not what I asked. WHY does a brain interface with itself if there is no true consciousness to begin with?
>If your brain doesn't know what's going on inside itself it would be incapable of thinking.
In order to create higher level thought processes inside the brain, it has to be able to synthesize and interact with the processes already happening inside it. It does this by creating an image of the thoughts inside it.
Yes faggot, I am aware that we are le flesh automatons living inside of a big machine according to Dennett. To Dennett, if you use terms like "phenomenon", then you no longer qualify as a scientist, and anyone who is not a scientist should not speak of the true nature of reality.

It's really all just nonsense though, especially with what he says about things like qualia. He pretends there is no hard problem because coming up with a universal theory of everything is piss easy to do.
>you don't know what I have and haven't thought about, nigger.
You're not the person I replied to so idgaf.

>>24765818
Oh I wish I was as confused as you, philosophy must be so interesting and mysterious. If you are interested in wisdom, though, try and have these discussions without using shorthand systems of control like all the "-isms" and "-ists".
>>
>>24765818
>if there is no true consciousness to begin with?
no one said there is no consciousness. I'm not invested in defending whatever dennett said about qualia, but he never said consciousness doesnt exist.
>You're not the person I replied to so idgaf.
yes I am, that other guy just replied before me
