Do you feel conscious?

2017-10-23 05:09:30 UTC  

lol Blade

2017-10-23 05:09:31 UTC  

let me reference a paper

2017-10-23 05:09:40 UTC  

"For many years now I have been getting my students to ask themselves, as many times as possible every
day “Am I conscious now?”. Typically they find the task unexpectedly hard to do; and hard to remember to
do. But when they do it, it has some very odd effects. First they often report that they always seem to be
conscious when they ask the question but become less and less sure about whether they were conscious
a moment before. With more practice they say that asking the question itself makes them more conscious,
and that they can extend this consciousness from a few seconds to perhaps a minute or two. What does
this say about consciousness the rest of the time? "

I mean have you ever seen the movie ex machina

2017-10-23 05:10:14 UTC  

We create life our self, artificial life, we do this already in labs

2017-10-23 05:10:22 UTC  

Hell man you can order custom DNA online and have it shipped to your door

2017-10-23 05:11:17 UTC  

No response ???

2017-10-23 05:11:27 UTC  

lol k

2017-10-23 05:11:36 UTC  

@nightstalker thats basically mormonism

2017-10-23 05:11:48 UTC  

@stag still mormonism lol

2017-10-23 05:11:59 UTC  

wtf i love mormonism now

2017-10-23 05:12:03 UTC  

lol

2017-10-23 05:12:13 UTC  

mormons are white muslims

2017-10-23 05:12:16 UTC  

basically you work your way to godhood and then u get your own creations

2017-10-23 05:12:23 UTC  

John Smith was American Muhammed

2017-10-23 05:12:38 UTC  

@stag so you think Jesus was a Jew right?

2017-10-23 05:13:10 UTC  

I dont think Jesus was an Uyghur or a Turk no

2017-10-23 05:13:21 UTC  

He might have been what was considered as a Jew back then

2017-10-23 05:13:36 UTC  

But what is known as a Jew nowadays, the bastard diaspora of the Turkic races, no

2017-10-23 05:13:47 UTC  

So the relation between the hypothesis formulated by an abductive inference
and the testing and confirmation performed by an inductive inference
can be illustrated a bit more clearly in statistical terms. Imagine a set
of data points plotted on a graph.

2017-10-23 05:14:21 UTC  

It is possible, statistically, to fi nd a line
drawn through those points that describes, or fits, that set of points best.
Think about how science typically works

2017-10-23 05:14:28 UTC  

didnt ask you about his genetics kid

2017-10-23 05:14:43 UTC  

We make observations about the
world, map out those observations, and then try to fi nd an explanation
that fi ts them. A linear regression, the line drawn through the cloud of data
that fi ts the data best, is like a hypothesis.

2017-10-23 05:14:50 UTC  

Why do you care if I think Jesus was a jew or not?

2017-10-23 05:14:56 UTC  

Once drawn, that line can be
extended along its trajectory to suggest where we might look for more and
new data. If the original data suggest a particular line, then, statistically
speaking, we can expect to fi nd similar evidence along an extension of the
same line.

2017-10-23 05:15:26 UTC  

If the original data, to put this another way, suggest a particular
line of inquiry, then, if we follow that line, we can expect to find more evidence
like the evidence we started with.

2017-10-23 05:15:27 UTC  

So i can see how much a Jew you are

2017-10-23 05:15:29 UTC  

lol

2017-10-23 05:15:57 UTC  

Im not jewish

2017-10-23 05:16:06 UTC  

sure

2017-10-23 05:16:13 UTC  

Of course, in any scientific measurement
not all the data, or even most of it, will line up perfectly. The
data are always somewhat loosely clustered or scattered into a rough shape
of some sort, but even a general clumping of data is enough to suggest
where you can draw a line that describes most of them. An educated guess
at where to draw the line is abductive. Looking for data to confi rm the line,
after it is drawn, is inductive.

2017-10-23 05:16:39 UTC  

Once a hypothesis has been well established, once we fi nd a lot of
data points where an extension of the line predicted they would be, or
when we continue to find evidence that maps into our same, original, cluster, we
have good reason to become suspicious of new data points that
fall too far from the line.

2017-10-23 05:18:14 UTC  

In other words, once we have enough evidence
to believe our hypothesis is true, new evidence that does not confi rm our
hypothesis will not be easily accepted. In fact, data points might show up
so far off the line that we can reasonably suspect that they are not real data
at all but artifacts of the measurement or mistakes in our observations: like
a smudge on the lens we mistake for a distant galaxy, or a glowing weather
balloon we mistake for a UFO, or even, perhaps, crazy observations that
belong to a category we have to label with a variable like “X."

2017-10-23 05:18:32 UTC  

Points like this, well off the line of an accepted hypothesis, are called “radical outliers.”

2017-10-23 05:19:05 UTC  

Inductive method tells us that when enough radical outliers appear,
like a second flock of data points landing adjacent to the fl ock we used
to draw our original line, they stop being radical outliers and begin to
suggest that our initial data set was not large enough.
