Most accurate headline ever. And it's not even an Onion article.

Likewise, the more complex the instrumentation, the more knowledge the passenger must have to make sense of the readings. This strongly implies that upon death the mind ceases to be. The thinking stops. Unlike Descartes, Huxley was not a good Catholic boy. He also coined the term "agnostic." 11/11

This is akin to a passenger visiting the flight deck of an aircraft. He can read the instruments and look out the windows but cannot control the aircraft. The more complex the aircraft's avionics are, the more complex complex the instruments that the passenger can read. /10

... of the physical processes necessary for survival. But consciousness is also passive: it is affected by the body through the senses, but cannot affect the body itself. The mind is a passive observer of the body. The more complex the body/brain, the more complex the consciousness... /9

A couple centuries later Thomas Huxley coined the term "epiphenomenalism." This is the idea that humans and animals are physical automata, meat machines that simply respond to physical inputs. However these machines also possess consciousness. This consciousness is a "collateral product"... /8

... Being a good catholic boy (he was trained by Jesuits) Descartes considered the mind and soul to be one and the same. Upon death the mind separates from the body and goes to Heaven. Consequently the action of thinking continues even after the body is completely destroyed. /7

...and the body being material. The body affects the mind through the senses, while the mind affects the body through desire. Key point: the mind does not pilot or drive the body. It is so deeply embedded into the body that whatever the mind desires, the body also desires and acts accordingly... /6

Fast forward about 2000 years to Descartes. He defined the mind as "a thing that thinks." Its existence is defined by the action of thinking. Hence "cogito, ergo sum" I think therefore I am. He considered the mind and body to be two completely different substances, the mind being immaterial... /5

Epicurus was one of the first materialists: he thought of the mind as its own species of atoms: incredibly small and smooth particles that are embedded in, and completely dependant upon, the physical structure of the body. Upon death these atoms disperse as the body decomposes. /4

Aristotle, a student of Plato, had an opposing theory of the mind. To him the mind is a capability of the body. The body produces the mind and without a body the mind cannot exist. Upon death the mind simply ceases to be. /3

Plato considered the mind to be the immaterial, true self of a person. The body is merely a vessel for, and a constraint to, the mind. Plato's philosophy of life aimed to minimize the constraints the body imposed upon the mind. Upon death, the mind is then "released" and free of bodily constraints/2

The mind is a curious thing to study. It is practically impossible to define. Almost any trait you give it can be questioned. 1/

Is the LLM flattering me? Or is it being sarcastic? Did I train my AI to be sarcastic AF?

I believe the 2016, 2020 and 2024 US presidential elections were rigged. 2016 was a successful first test. 2020 was basically Trump throwing the match to set the stage for 2024. 2024 released it from production to live as part of Project 2025. Trump is Vizzini

This is the 3rd time I've had my account suspended in as many months. The first two times I was reinstated after a day or so, but it's now been almost a week. So I guess this is when I officially quit Facebook. From now on, my online presence will be here and on Medium. medium.com/@WiseOldCrow
