  • I am sorry this was your experience, it’s an awesome and tasty spread, I would have loved to have been invited and would have eaten a lot of it haha

    That said, I think some times disappointments like this happen because there’s some mismatch in people’s expectations of an event

    I find that sometimes it also helps to let people know in advance that there will be food so they don’t eat beforehand. Sorry if you already mentioned this in the thread somewhere. I hope you make some more friends, but no need to officially break things off with anyone from this event. Just cool it with them for awhile I guess













  • Er, that’s what I am saying however is that you can observe and measure consciousness.

    You seem to have a very exclusive definition of consciousness, which only serves to avoid the argument, really.

    I don’t, I am just going based on current findings.

    I am not sure why it’s hard to accept that some living things may not be conscious. Viruses propagate “mindlessly”, they’re neither living nor conscious.

    I also don’t understand why you think emergent properties are a hypothesis. Emergent properties of biological processes are fact, look at any cell of any major organ in the body. Why do we treat the brain differently? Because I think we get irrational.


  • But why do you think plants should have some own form of consciousness? All organism which have circulatory systems have generally similarly behaving circulatory systems. So why should consciousness be different?

    No, if an organism does not exhibit all properties of consciousness that we see in all other organisms, then it’s not conscious
