Dat vind ik ontstellend erg knap, want ik zie in deze geheel niets bevestigd.
Ook niet in of door jouw "transcript".
Wat Peter van jou aanhaalt is op zich correct, want ze onderzoekt uitdrukkelijk alleen wat ze kan meten.
Voor de relativiteitsspeculatie vermeldt ze uitdrukkelijk daar niet verder op in te gaan omdat . . . . .

Sja Roeland, komt de aap uit de mouw; Ik bén wellicht ontstellend knap, én een aap conform de Aziatische sterrenkunde.

Je had me al eens eerder knap genoemd, dat gaat de goeie kant op.
Welzeker in mijn transcript. En speciaal voor jou hierbij ook nog 's het vervolg untill the end.
Wat relativiteit betreft vind ik het leuk dat ze dat ook zegt, het is haar gevoel of instinct om dat te willen onderzoeken. Dat bedoel ik met nekuitsteekster. Ze heeft meerdere beweringen gedaan die ze naar eigen zeggen niet concreet kan bewijzen maar waarin ze haar gevoel volgt. (Ik heb een aantal interviews gelezen.

)
Met name eerste zin en laatste zin vond ik erg aangenaam aanvoelen.

I'm not sure whether you're conscious or not, but what i am sure of is,
if you are it's not my consiousness. It's not like mine. Yeah. So that's what's make consiousness so
subjective and so special.
...
Machines...you can approach them in two ways. You can say i'm going to model it. Perhaps that is one of the claims of the blue brain project. Now think about that.. what is a model. A model is not a simulacrum.
If you want a simulacrum of the brain just have a baby.
So if you want to model something you want to identify the salient features to the exclusion of the extraneous ones. If i wanted to model flight i would know the essential part was to defy gravity and i wouldn't be too fast about incoperating beaks and feathers.
So therefore if you're trying to model consiousness the problem arises what is the salient feature that we want to put in, what are the extraneous features that we can leave out. And i would submit we don't know that.
If we knew that we wouldn't have to model it anyway, because we'd have solved the problem.
The second approach is to build a non-biological device of enhancing and increasing complexity, someone like Ray Kurzweil (advocate of singularity), people like that think that if you have something is very complex then consiousness will just emerge as a product of complexity.
Now one can't prove that's not the case, because you can't prove something isn't the case, you can only prove positives and the owners would be on such individuals to prove it was, but then you have the problem of the Turing test. ..... As yet no computer have passed althought there is a human being that's failed it.
..
So this operational definition is very hard because even if you were given clever or things as you know, you can just sit there,
the whole point of consiousness is not about responses or behaviors, it's about what goes on inside. And that
i think it is very hard to, with absolute conviction,
demonstrate in something, that (like John Searle the philosopher said)
might be built of old beer cans.
I think the thing that it's built of, brain cells, chemicals, modulators,
integration with the whole body, for my money, those things are significant features. I can't prove that they are, but then the onus would be on you to proof with your
beer can that they are consious.
