>> ^Seric:

She looked pretty shaken up about it - thank goodness that guy with the super baggy trousers and handbag was there to give her that reassuring tap on the shoulder.


Sometimes getting that reassurance from a stranger, knowing that someone else actually cares about your well-being, is all one needs.

Man Overpaid For Fake Gun, Gets Pissed!

Substance dualism

ReverendTed says...

Almonildo:
So here's where it gets muddy. Let's take your scenario of the entirely computerized brain, instead, this time, it's a COPY of an existing person's brain, rather than the end result of a sequential replacement of our unfortunate subject.
Would it be a crime, murder, to disconnect the power from that computer, or to destroy it?
I don't see it the same way, either - to assume the computer simulation would possess awareness. I don't know that would be a given. Possible - but not a given. (And I admittedly lean toward "doubtful".)
Taken further - a computer that simulates an "uninitiated" brain. Would it "develop" awareness? Would it behave differently if given the same sensory inputs? And how would we know? (Currently, we couldn't.)

The problem I have is that it doesn't make sense for it all to be correlated physically. Each individual cell fires or doesn't. An impulse is propagated or it isn't. The co-location of function ends at the macro level of "in the brain" or "in this area of the brain". Beyond that, the physical behavior of the brain is dispersed into individual cells. Awareness is obviously a product of many simultaneous stimuli which are never physically co-incident.

Here's another one: You propose that you can tell you're aware, but you cannot be sure of those around you. They act like they're aware, but it's impossible (so far, anyway) to say for certain. I can see two ways of looking at this.
One is to presume awareness because, as you say, you see no reason not to. To me that's like saying, "I have a 1'x1' black box with a white stripe. It contains duck trousers. Other black boxes must contain duck trousers because they also have white stripes."
Another way is to say that it suggests intuitively that awareness is distinct from behavior. We can't be certain anyone else is "aware" because the physical existence by itself isn't proof enough.

Another avenue that I might want to investigate further is lobotomies. Is it possible a lobotomized patient has been stripped of their awareness? I don't know enough about it to formulate a informed opinion on the subject. (In fact, the previous question might be terribly offensive to the lobotomized!)

Closest evolutionary relative *also known as a cunner-

Also rumored to have been an un-inlisted (General Studies paper does not qualify for UCAS Tariff points) British/French Legionnaire

and then there's THIS Urban Legend (see definition #4) in his own mind piece of internet knuckle-dragging trash, too fucking cowardly and douche-like to come back for another helping of "Shut the fuck up", who left this little tribute to his/her own pathetic and petty attempt at poking a prehistoric monolith. The truly pathetic factoid about this last one is that it was most assuredly some, how you saaaay.... asshat douchebag-left-in-an-orifice, Clondike bar from inside one's trousers?
Yeah, that's the cunt who wins an no-expense spared, vacation for one to "Back The Fuck At Ya!", chintz!

Choggies' anything if not your average asshole.
