Why is that quantum? You are projecting that onto it.

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.

It is subtle so it is hard to put into words. I would have to think about how to articulate it properly.

Persian is a collection of ethnic groups and a culture. Iran is a nation-state. Persia is not a state.

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.

If Don Beck was still alive and speaking, Israel would kill him.

Do you have any proof that consciousness requires quantum effects? No. That is just some sloppy guess Roger Penrose made.

It has changed me in permanent ways that are not even at the level of state. State is not the only factor.

I don't fail to see it. You guys love assuming I'm a fool.

There is probably not even a need for AI to go quantum. People love to invoke quantum for no good reason.

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.

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?

If atoms solved it once, they can solve it again. Don't forget that your problems maybe only be problems inside your paradigm.

It is simpler to not assume.

That is normal. The higher you go, the harder the backlash. The psyche is reestablishing balance.

@Uddi I am not claiming that chat-bots are conscious. I don't think in terms of syntax and semantics.

I have no bias against it.

Uniqueness is not limited to DNA. Uniqueness is Infinite.

Yeah, you gotta be careful with the contempt. It's a phase you go through, then you circle back around to acceptance and love. It is true that humans are fools? Yes. But we can't help it.

Look at the silliness of your own question.

No, it's way more profound than that.

Touche, thanks for the links.

Biggest pro of religion is not morality, it is survival. The biggest benefit of religion is that it is evil. Evil is what most people are looking for.

The argument is as fundamental and air-tight as it gets: There is no ontological difference between digital and non-digital. Everything is Consciousness. Ontology is favorable to digital consciousness. You need to invent some kind of special exception for it otherwise. Humans and computers are both made out of the same atoms. What one atom can do, another atom can do.

The entire point of NATO is to defend against Russia. This is like asking why the superhero squad doesn't allow a villain to join.
