I’m pulling the “twitter is a microblog” rule even though twitter is pretty mega now, hope that’s ok.

    It’s pretty much like saying that matrix multiplication can have feelings

    Yeah sure I’m willing to incorporate that into My worldview. Of course, said feelings would be very simple and would likely lack valence, but I’m panpsychist enough to believe matrix multiplication has qualia. I’m more of an informational panpsychist than a physical panpsychist. I think information entails experience.

      Provable assertions about the physical world require measurable observations, not personal beliefs.

      I’m panpsychist enough to believe matrix multiplication has qualia

      According to this, any sufficiently skilled high school student could, with just pen and paper and enough time, build an entity from nothing that can experience pain.

          Kind of inspired on Surreal Numbers.

          You have made your point. You don’t really care about provable facts. Maybe you shouldn’t pretend that you are trying to argue in good faith at all?
