I’m actually reminded of the time James Randi refused to debunk some tech bro’s astrology app, despite him being gung ho about how well it worked… With the reason Randi gave being that because it was an app and claimed to have math behind it, it was too close to the realm of science to count as anything supernatural… Even though there’s virtually no difference between this and a horoscope in the paper, but he was fooled by there being a phone involved. So the guy DID NOT get debunked or even tested despite being full of shit he was, he didn’t get tested or in the running for the million, but he got Randi’s seal of approval… That’s a task failed successfully moment right there.
God JREF’s reputation is so overblown.
Remember: You are not immune to propaganda, you will accept anything if it’s presented in a way that seems plausible yet magical enough to you.

The AI isn’t alive, it’s not hallucinating… We will likely never have true AI until we figure out the Hard Problem.

It’s not so much I was categorizing the Mountain Dew, it’s that I’d specifically only been drinking flavored mountain dews, so a non-flavored one would have been a clear outliers, just for the record.

Well I’ll be, still I think “Still continue to operate as one” makes less assumptions, we barely know consciousness is even real to begin with, how can we confidently say that it’s like an infinitely dividable amoeba of some kind? I guess I’ll check the link.

Huh, maybe this isn’t the “Higher Self” then… because when I think, I can “hear” a voice in my head, and I can literally make it say what I want…
But when I hear the “Higher Self” it’s just suddenly I know something or I’ll experience a different kind of silent voice where I can’t hear any words… but I suddenly know something I didn’t before, there’s no “Thought process”, just realization, and it’s usually shit I couldn’t possible know, but it’s not like I can summon it on command and what it tells me isn’t always useful.
Like, one time it told me I’d drink a regular Mountain Dew, not flavored, for the first time in literal years in a matter of minutes.
I disregard it as unlikely, but decide it may be a good idea to get some food as it had been a long day. So I go to Taco Bell, and get my usual drink, a Baja Blast (which is a flavored mountain dew, but the “higher self” specified that it wouldn’t be flavored, it’d be the OG mountain dew) They tell me they’re out, so absent mindedly I say “Regular mountain dew’s fine.”
Only after I say that do I go “Wait a god damn minute…”
Obviously this can’t be a different form of my thought process that I just don’t understand, because how the fuck was it supposed to know the inventory of that exact Taco Bell? Then again, why would a Higher Self care about what drinks I’m drinking… Weird shit like that happens, and since it’s always right, I always listen to it, and when it actually comes through in a time of need things seem to turn out fine. I can’t explain it, ironically you’d think this would make more really superstitious, but the sad truth is I lost my faith in such things ages ago, it’s just the higher self still functions as it does in spite of that.
If you’ve got an explanation I’d love to hear it
