[MD] Probability

[Case]

[Platt]
I may or may not be certain to believe anything you say since you are never
certain about anything.

[Case]
If you mean “Certain beyond a reasonable doubt,” then I am certain that
nothing is certain in any “Absolute” sense.

When you provide an example of “Absolute” certainty, maybe your questions
along this line will make sense. If you have for example solved the
“Clever Demons” problem or the “Brain in a Vat” problem, I would love to
hear your solutions.

[Platt]
"Conscious" is widely understood term. To say you don't know what it means
suggests you're avoiding my question. Which is OK since you are not
certain you
have answer anyway.

[Case]
“Consciousness” is a mine field. It can mean anything from being awake to
oneness with the “Primary Source”.

I actually did address this in the original post of this thread: this is
pretty much how I see it:

Human beings are possessors of the most complex chunks of matter in the
known universe. Through them we are able to store information. I like
computer metaphors so I think of this capability as a temporal buffer.
That is, a place were past events are represented and reconstructed. This
is experience. This capacity allows us to randomly access events from our
pasts and reconstruct models of the future. It is through this process
that we transcend the instant. We explore remembered pasts and speculate
about possible futures.

[Platt]
Why is it evil to slash and clear cut the Amazon? You seem to be certain
that it is despite your assertions that nothing is certain.

[Case]
We have not gotten too a point where this sort of discussion would result
in anything more than Snot Stew. How about we postpone it for a while?

In the mean time why don't you go check out the Game of life exercises?
You might actually enjoy playing with it.
