@Thinkwert I think the cobblestone patterns are not so irregular as it seems: at the crossing points of the grid you see repeatedly a motiv of four or so small bright cobblestones lying on a line. Isn't it this motiv that might give rise to the "illusion"?
@Plinz What did I get wrong? Isn't there some self-contradiction? Above, you wrote: "In the limit, this entails the right to suicide, to use arbitrary drugs, and to create and join arbitrary cults."
I don't get it.
@francoisfleuret Of course, it is reasonable. As reasonable as it is to say that your post is mostly about yourself. (BTW: I agree 100% with Matt and will never be interested in an AI movie.)
@Plinz Irrationality isn't "bad" per se. Why shouldn't a representation of reality also work for irrational members of our society, "irrational" in a more neutral or even "good" sense?
@SKurtev@Andercot@Plinz@StuartHameroff@suzannegildert@nanogenomic Why would you be very happy? Don't we have enough suffering already - and really don't need artificial suffering on top? Or do you think there maybe consciousness without suffering? (Personally, I believe that consciousness originated in pain.)
@Plinz@Allknight8 Souls forced to possess toasters? What did I not get right? I would have expected "toasters forced to possess souls" here? But maybe it's the same, if you assume that our soul possesses a body - and lets it go when dying. But who then dies?
