Re: Tom Campbell and his view of virtual reality and information
I think the major error in Tom Campbell's thinking is that consciousness IS information or data. I would agree How exactly can consciousness be information or data? Consciousness is nothing other than consciousness. This is a tautolology but never mind. It is true. Consciousness is the basic level ...

Re: Consciousness and Matter - The thing in itself
Think of perception as the attached screen of an (oldschool) video recorder - but that the only "thing" you have access to is what occurs on that screen. There is a dissociative boundary between what the screen presents and what it re-presents (an axiomatic choice). If you are locked in a ...
