believe. Just like the extreme amount of
diverse theories predicting what qualia are in the supporting sub camps to <a href="https://canonizer.com/topic/88-Representational-Qualia/6" style="color:blue">Representational
Qualia Theory</a>. The amount of consensus
is mostly (bud not always, in my opinion) proportional to their likeliness. But until we have a neural ponytail, we can’t
falsify anything. Failure to be able to create a neural ponytail would scientifically verify solipsism.</span></p></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 10:33 AM William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I think the odds of anything you said below being true is infinitely small. bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 5:32 AM John Clark via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><font size="4">I have only one example of consciousness so a gross misunderstanding of what that word means is possible. So perhaps everybody in the world is conscious EXCEPT for me. When people ask me if I'm conscious I say "yes" and am trying to tell the truth, but we may mean two very different things by that word. What I think of as consciousness you might laugh at as being utterly trivial, what you and everybody else on the planet means by "consciousness" is something infinitely more magnificent that my mind is incapable of even glimpsing.<br><br><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </span>John K Clark</font><br></div>
