I’m between 4 and 5, and no, I don’t need to. I can conceptualize things pretty well, I just can’t do it visually.

Yes it’s stupid, but try marketing 7 when your competition has 5000.
I agree with some of what you’re saying, but can you explain (in simple terms please) how the hard problem doesn’t exist? I’m not quite following. The subjective experience of consciousness is directly observable, and definitely real, no?
(I don’t think adding some metaphysical element does much of anything, and Penrose still doesn’t really explain it, just provides a potential mechanism for it in the brain. It’s still a real “thing”, unexplained by current physics though.)
Also, to your other point, my I believe everything is just an evolving wave function. All waves all the time, and we only perceive a slice of it. (Which has something to do with consciousness, but nobody really knows exactly how). The Copenhagen interpretation is just how the many worlds universe appears to behave to a conscious observer.
I don’t think it’s incompatible with many worlds, unless I’m misunderstanding something. The many worlds interpretation means that the observer doesn’t collapse the wave function, but rather becomes entangled with it. It only apparently collapses because we only perceive a “slice” of the wave function. (For whatever reason).
I think this is still compatible with Penrose’s ideas, just not in the way he presents it. Anyway, I think he’s not really explaining consciousness, but rather a piece of how it could be facilitated in the brain.
Here are my recommendations:
Bad North: Real time island defense with procedural islands and character permadeath.
Inscryption: Roguelite deck builder (but it’s more than that, hard to describe without spoilers. just play it)
I realize these might not be the exact type of roguelike you’re looking for, but I highly recommend them.
I think you might really enjoy using a tiling window manager on linux.
Really? I think it looks pretty good, better than last year’s. I certainly would not get this color, though.
“Sober as a cat” is a funny expression, because they’re the only type of pet I can think of that gets drugs (catnip) for fun.
I agree about presidential drug testing though.
The title seems a bit misleading when 4/5 are unhappy
Yeah same. I just have a conscious mind that’s supported by my unconscious.
There’s not really different parts of my consciousness, just a spark of awareness, focused on one thing at a time.
I wonder if this has something to do with monotropism.
Wow, care to tell more about what that was like? I’m aphantasic, and the idea of suddenly unlocking the ability to visualize is fascinating to me.
