Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

    My original point still stands: You can make objective statements about things we can’t measure. Also you can’t measure self-awareness.

      Sure, but you should have a reason ito believe it exists to begin with. Otherwise your making statements about nothing.

      Also you can’t measure self-awareness.

      There have been tests of self-awareness. Ranging from seeing if a species will try to get something off of itself viewable only through a mirror (proving some sense of self), to measuring brain changes when someone thinks about something.

      I have a feeling you mean something else besides “awareness of ones self” when you say self-awareness, though. Awareness is within our understanding, and pointing that inwards doesn’t raise any new mysteries.

      Living being, just like machines, can have information related from internals, and either one can process that information.

        No, that’s exactly what I mean by self-awareness and yes we have done tests on it but there is no conclusive way to show and measure it currently. Yes I can make objective statements on that subject which was my point like 20 comments back.
