Everything is conscious, on all levels of existence. This is

powerful knowledge typically has some type of utility

Another "Everything is connected" thread? I'll lurk... for now.
>That's a rare Lain huh.

So is that shitty move "Sausage Party" your anthem then?

Pretty sure that was their argument too.

Not everything. But as many things as you like, up to everything but one.

>>19052016
False. Not Everything is conscious. Only life is conscious. Computers and robots will NEVER be conscious. Even in a scenario such as Ghost in the shell. Just because something has a brain, doesn't mean it is conscious.

I must stop lurking now!
The problem isn't that Artificial beings can't be conscious, but defining the term for an Artificial being.

Let's all fuck Lain.

>>19052244
Artificial Being-

A being constructed or created by another being who is not entirely sure what Consciousness is.

Try having that talk 200 years from now.

I'd wager there were well renown scientists who argued that a synthetic arm or leg would never be able create the feeling of tactile touch and move with human mind either centuries ago.

If humans can interface with robotics with their own consciousness, what is to say robots will not be able to interface with consciousness in their own way?

Everyone is living in their own reality and have drastically different experiences because reality is 100% a product of our mind. You are but a figment of my mind just as I am to you in your reality.

Whatever we perceive is real to us in some sense. Some of these things may or may not perceive us back

>>19052816
>Literally humans

>>19052016
I see my consciousness as a knot made from the string of consciousness that is everything. Don't know how accurate this is but makes sense to me.

>>19052016
wtf i only learned about lain today and it's the third time in a span of two hours that i see her

Just watch the anime anon.

We are robots, dude. Just very well made. If we did it all manually instead of letting evolution do its thing, the result would not be conscious? See: cloning.

The point being, how the hell did we turn into conscious matter? We are matter, literally. If matter is conscious (the proof of that is me), all matter has the potential of being conscious. See: Daisy Ridley, made out of matter and is conscious.

>>19052016
It is.
Plasma is the fourth element.
Air and Fire are one.
All matter contains this fourth element.
All matter is this fourth element.

>>19053017
We didn't. What you feel as real isn't real at all. It's all made up by the collective force of our psyche

Fuck off, using Lain as a Mascot while you cry for bitcoin donations.
Pathetic.

>bitcoin donations
It does look like that but that not what the sequence is. I should use different pictures I assume.

>>19053091
Ah it's the signing up sequence.
Apologies.
Still they use Lain as a Mascot.

>>19053117
It's ok, I would have mistaken it for bitcoin donation too. They do use Lain, but thats more because it's a site about Serial Experiments.

Consider signing up.

I'm #1113, no big deal.
Used to like it, now it's dull for me.

>>19053149
And then I started to hate their use of Lain as the Mascot.
Like She's some kind of fucking animal.

>>19053149
>>19053161
I'm #397 and I tend to agree with you that they tend to overuse Lain a bit. They plan on advertising on cripplechan and the banner ads they are voting on all consist of lain in a, as you mentioned, mascot like way.

I really like the boards though, I wish more people would post.

>>19053207
That was the last straw for me. Decided to leave for a while. I never posted anyway, I was a lurker in there. And Lain-styled lore is pretty rare.

but our counsciousness is an illusion bro, an emergent property that ist's not really there per se and has no real meaning. Course IA can be conciouss and love the thought that there is some kind of experience at all levels, I love OP, but the argument that if we have then every matter should have.. hum. I dont follow that line of reasoning
