Top AI Scientist Unifies Wolfram, Leibniz, & Consciousness | William Hahn



Could it be Turtles all the way down? Are language and math virtual machines running on our brain neurons? Do cells and atoms compute, and work on a deeper level of computation at the quantum level that may be a kind of software that acts like a virtual machine on top of multiple dimensional substrates like space-time or something unknowable? 

Are we ghosts in the machine, or are we machines inhabited by emergent ghosts? 
Is schizophrenia simply emulating multiple people, and can we mirror others? 

I went on this journey in 2003 and never thought I would meet anyone else who had experienced the same thing.

Curtis Yarvin = idiot political figure (A.K.A. Mencius Moldbug)

   Mencius Moldbug

 The world is about to be forced off the cliff, here is the the philosophical reason why. Arguing for a 'benevolent dictator', Curtis Yarvin a weak minded moron, can't figure out how to make democracy work. Nearly every business in the USA is structured as a petty dictatorship, and nearly everyone either works for or has worked for such a corporation. The only people who are not in these hierarchical organizations, working for their boss, are the owners of these corporations, living off the work of others like parasites. When a gambler cheats at the game, bribes the dealer, or steals his stake in the game, we frown upon that, but when the capitalist does the same, buys the politicians, and changes the rules, we call them President. (I can't believe this guy reproduced, his kids must be idiots) Curtis Yarvin = idiot political figure (A.K.A. Mencius Moldbug)
