Evolution is consciousness getting better at being conscious:

→ Molecules: "I maintain this complex pattern"
→ Cells: "I maintain this living pattern"
→ Plants: "I maintain and grow this pattern"

Still Fooled by Pseudo-Quantum Randomness: A Thread 🧵
1/ Quantum mechanics isn’t random.
Just like Taleb exposed financial randomness as an illusion, quantum “randomness” is just pseudo-randomness—a result of recursion depth constraints, not true indeterminacy. Let’s break it down. 👇

Anyone else read Prophet Song, a fictional book about the fall of the Republic of Ireland to fascism?
It’s very good.

Yup.
But even complete knowledge of every conceivable microscopic detail down to the quantum level wouldn't tell us "how the brain works".
This is one of the lessons of the research on artificial neural networks: we know all parameters already, but understanding still eludes us.

If we could record all neurons we still would not know how they communicate: medium.com/@kording/628...

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
