The reason is that any computation can be done with an arrangement of

tantamount to suggesting that NAND gates could only be arranged in a
certain way
if the reality was one in which things experienced.
 

Aha, NAND gates. Seems the past 36 incarnations of �someone� were
insufficient to the task so the resurrection ship spawned another. Here we

I knew he (she? it?) sounded familiar. And if anything even
more incoherent than previously.

Bob C., mentions a minor argument, which explained why whether any of reality
is
experienced or not is not computable. Which could be thought to be an issue
for
a physicalist belief in which we are evolved biological machines whose brains
are running some type of neural network computation (because we can tell that
at
least part of reality is experiencing, which isn't computable). Noticeably Bob
C., didn't offer any flaw in the argument, but I am grateful for him having
looked at the video, and brought up an argument from it. Though the main
issues
raised in that particular video from the series were the Influence Issue, and
the Fine Tuning of the Experience Issue, which he didn't mention.
 
For those that would be interested in just diving into a specific part of the
series to understand what is being referred to, you could just follow this
link
(which skips the first 7 minutes of 4.Belief): https://vimeo.com/

There are some comebacks to "4. Belief" covered in the next one in the series,
"5. Issues with belief?".

Whoops, sorry made a mistake there. The poster who had mentioned part of the
video was me. Bob C might not have even viewed it.


Wish you all well, and as a wise man might say:
 "Follow the loving selfless path".
