Fallibilism applies to all of us - regardless of whether human or AI.

Why should a philosophical definition of consciousness alter scientific findings?
Should it not rather ontologically ground them while also broadening the explanatory framework so as to account for what cannot be explained by scientific methods?

A metaphysical position is a single postulate or a system of postulates on which further truths or whole systems of truth are grounded.

More dangerous than a nuclear power plant within oneโs own country is energy dependence on foreign countries - especially on dictators.

Reflection: A Collective Defense of Western Values Without Imperialism
It is time for the Western democracies of the world to jointly establish a defense community - without the United States - in which every member has equal rights and equal duties.

Ontologically speaking, time is the mode of a structure that is constituted in act.
If this structure is dynamic, several distinct modes of time emerge from it.

I find the distinction between the USA and Trumpโs USA very important.

Every system is a local, coherent structure and is therefore by nature limited in its capacities.
Ergo, no system can ever attain absolute certainty about anything.

Argument: Chalmers Deconstructed - The Zombie Argument and the Hard Problem Are Not Ontologically Neutral but Depend on a Presupposed Definition of Interaction

Without information, there is no interaction.

The hard problem arises only when stuff and consciousness are conceived as separate substances.
Classical substance philosophy, however, does not lead us any further in this question.

Why should every kind of consciousness be alive?
There is non-living matter as well as living matter.
Why should consciousness be any different?
#Panpsychism
#NPSSystemOntology #NPSPhilosophy
Consciousness concerns primarily phenomenality and only secondarily other properties.
This is because only when something appears phenomenally in a system can it serve that system as information for its internal interaction processes.
#Panpsychism #NPSSystemOntology #NPSPhilosophy
No system can know its own status directly.
Because: the knowledge a system has of its own status is always acquired indirectly through interactions with other subsystems or with external systems.

Aphorism: What Is the Most Basal Form of Consciousness?
The most basal form of consciousness is the constitution in act of a structural impression within a dynamic ontological system, which the system uses as input for internal interaction processes. 1/2

Aphorism: I Am a Structural Panpsychist Materialist

Everything that is stuff-constituted exists as structure.

Aphorism: Why Must Consciousness Be So Complicated?
Consciousness is the internal perspective that arises for an interacting system in relation to its interaction partner.
