Thread:User talk:Armondikov/Philosophy of chemistry/reply (2)

That's what I thought, until I read the relevant articles and thought "no, this is still bullshitting about it, not philosophising about it". With physics you can at least no some theoretical pondering, interpretations and so on. With biology you can lead into ethics (that said, you can do ethics of researching dangerous chemical structures, or drugs for instance). But... what the fuck are these people talking about?

Yeah, it's probably why there isn't any particularly odd cult going on as far as I can see.

Actually, speaking of AI/mind and since there was a quantum consciousness talk comment, it occurs to me that if quantum effects were the thing behind free will, then there's no particular reason that the brain is conscious and everything isn't. The difference is just then in scale, not really scope. If the human mind is self-aware and has free will "because of quantum" then everything is self-aware and has free will. Do some people bother checking the research, or not?
