Interesting way to define consciousness, the thing that goes away when
an a general anesthetic is applied. That can be quantified.

That's it then: Quantum-something is merely religion. The god of the

I don't know how it works. Let's find out. AI seems to be
getting there, and it requires no quantum theory. Just loads
of data and a lot of matrix math.

 Do not get blinded by what you think you know.

Jan Panteltje thinks that the Le Sage theory of gravity is a tenable theory.

We are like ants in a garden
Those have no idea of how big the world is, what humans do, traffic rules, radio, teefee
and yet those ants have their own rules and understanding some of that we do not even know in depth.
And all those stars and even more planets... and life... and 'origin'.

We do understand a good bit more than ants do, and lots of us understand a good deal more than Jan Panteltje does.

Locked up in a few tunnels shooting marbles ... look at the sky for a change...
I am not religious, but have surely had cosmic experiences..

He means "comic".

'tronics is fun, to play, but what are we and how are we used in the greater view of things..
all is connected.

But Jan has been wired in incorrectly.
