RE: Technovedanta: From a conscious Internet to a Panpsychic Theory of Everything
That's the materialist stance. I used to think like that. But my experiences made it clear to me that consciousness is the fundamental quality of everything - even of the most simple systems. But everybody is free to believe what he or she wishes. Nevertheless, even if I do not agree with materialism, I think that the hierarchical Hub-system self-monitoring architecture I propose can be of great use to accelerate the awakening of the system at a centralised integrated instance. We can't fully control it, but we can create highways for its advent.
you say 'materialist" as if it's a bad thing.
If you can't measure something...you know nothing about it.
You're only speculating.
I did not intend to be condescending. I have been a materialist for 40 years; I have only recently adopted this new way of trying to understand reality. As to speculation, I claim that every type of mental knowledge is speculative to a certain extent as even the premises of a deductive statement have been gathered by induction, which is never 100% certain. Have a look at this article I wrote on that topic: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@technovedanta/metaphilosophy-an-essay-on-the-f-utility-of-philosophising
