[extropy-chat] "Dead Time" of the Brain.

[Heartland]

>So, according to you, two brains produce a single instance of mind?

John K Clark:
It's possible under certain conditions.

Such as...? (Remember that we're talking about brains without a single 
communication channel between them).

>So if I write 1 and then 1 (two ones are exactly the same) you're saying
>that I wrote 1 once?

John K Clark:
Your brain will not be in the same state when you write those two numbers,
more important you're talking about actions, I was talking about thoughts.
If you thought about the number 1 and a brain in the Hydra cluster was in
the same state as your brain as he thought about the number one then there
would be one thought not 2.

No. We're not talking about brains now. This is no longer debate about brains and 
what minds really are. Please answer the question. How many *instances* (not types) 
of "1" are there in "1+1"? Just give me a number.
