  1. Watch out. Next time you sleep we might all ascend into the Singularity and you will wake up all alone.
  2. Ethnicity is more fundamental than nation. This is universally true.
  3. Quantum is not BS. Just don't apply it where it don't belong. Don't invoke quantum mechanics for baking a cake.
  4. That proves my point. Persian is a loose ethnic cultural identity, similar to Slavic. Slavic is not a nation-state.
  5. There never was a single Persian identity. It is was a chaotic mess of various peoples from around the region. You say "true identity" but others in the region would disagree that your identity is there identity.
  6. It is subtle so it is hard to put into words. I would have to think about how to articulate it properly.
  7. Persian is a collection of ethnic groups and a culture. Iran is a nation-state. Persia is not a state.
  8. You are right that biology is way more intelligent than science knows. But that is not a fundamental obstacle. I don't see any connection to QM. That is purely speculative.
  9. Do you have any proof that consciousness requires quantum effects? No. That is just some sloppy guess Roger Penrose made.
  10. It has changed me in permanent ways that are not even at the level of state. State is not the only factor.
  11. There is probably not even a need for AI to go quantum. People love to invoke quantum for no good reason.
  12. Yeah, that is normal because being alive is about dreaming. Don't beat yourself up for dreaming. That is the point of life. You are never going to be as conscious sober as you are on a 5-MeO peak. That is not practical.
  13. Did biology solve your syntax gap? If yes, why can't digital do the same? If no, why can't digital step around it too?
  14. If atoms solved it once, they can solve it again. Don't forget that your problems maybe only be problems inside your paradigm.
  15. That is normal. The higher you go, the harder the backlash. The psyche is reestablishing balance.
  16. @Uddi I am not claiming that chat-bots are conscious. I don't think in terms of syntax and semantics.
