Good game, so far so good, just wanted to drop in and say how much I love this response (to wit)
But also, how much I want you to understand that THAT guy is fucking right as hell, so I'd think about it a little bit ππ
But do hope you have a better one after that parts over with π like keep on being witty, just dial back on the pretense thereπ
Edit: Also wanted to add the idea that we don't actually know if our consciousness is valid, our inherint perceptions limit us is ways we cannot evade (and can only ignore) Thus we, as the beings we are cant just validate anything, effectively cant anyway. We are all, relying on some kind of, presumably brain derived but who knows? But definitely a PERCEPTION for every kind of so-called 'validation' we attempt. And because people cannot seem to even truly verify perception in and of itself, we must rely on the much simpler, just-in-case-it-all-actually-is-valid model. Which is presumably what a regular person lives under (whether they acknowledge that they are is basically immaterial)
I personally like perception problem/perception paradox for shorthand but its probably a termed philosophy idea already so establish your own guideline at their peril I suppose. You can't really fit 'valid' information into a framework of 'understood' from that point of view and it can be pretty scary and... uncanny, if your thinking about that deep enough. But that's okay! That dudes giving compelling evidence that intelligence(in so much as it can be perceived and witnessed by me)is not just a figment of the ol intellect but who actually fuckin knows anyways so better be worth that effort! πΉ (I like to take pedantic things to their logical conclusions, and now back to the regular life stuff ππ)
