To claim that consciousness could be an illusion is a self-contradictory statement as consciousness is where illusions appear.
This sounds a lot like the "did the chicken come before the egg or the other way around" God is defined as the progenitor of existence, but if something preceded or even paralleled God before existence, then that would have to be the real God instead, based on the ontological definition. That was confusing, but I only mention it because if you could have a "consciousness" which perceives another consciousness as illusory, (like one I could download into a machine) then your own "awareness" is just as relatively illusory as the first one.
Like, the universe comes from God, and some would say that you can't have one without the other.
And our perception of the world stems from a consciousness, and some would say you can't have one without the other.
I just wanted to talk about the problems that arise when you form a recursive pattern with these foundational ideas. What is really behind consciousness? Can consciousness lie to you? Of course. Should you stop trusting your consciousness? Not completely, you would become a vegetable. Bed sores hurt.
I'm just kinda rambling, but thank you for posting this stimulating topic. This consciousness appreciates it.
The game has been in development for half a decade, and it's not anywhere near finished. The voice acting is great but they're glorified demos with adult gimmicks.
I worked on lots of very large Zoom meetings. After you subscribe to the product, it's your own responsibility to use the tools provided to moderate incoming users. Zoombombing is only possible with very poorly moderated or unmoderated Zoom meetings. They would have to do several things wrong, and here are some of them:
Not requiring a password to join the meeting
Including the password in the link to join the meeting.
Not setting admin/moderator permissions, allowing any user to take them
Not differentiating the meeting room from the default room.
Distributing the wrong Zoom link, there can be one for attendees and a different one intended for spectators, who should not have audio/video broadcast permissions.
That's not all of them, but if this group improperly handles their Zoom setup, the company isn't responsible because they already provided the security tools and the documentation to use them. At least, that's my humble understanding.
It seems we've been taught strict expectations about "functioning."
When a machine doesn't get the resources it needs to do its function, it does not function, and it is not expected to function, if the mechanics are understood.
We know a lot about what people need (still more to discover) but we're expected to "function" without having our needs met.
Inconvenienced might be right. The tagline from the poster treats metric implementation as a punishment. "What has he done to deserve this?" Has the same victimized tone like, "Look what they done to my boy" which completely disregards the merits of either system in favor of nationalism.
It almost seems like a cold-war era ideal.
