Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

CHAPTER

Consciousness and Computation: A New Perspective

This chapter examines consciousness as a spectrum and the potential for non-traditional entities, such as rocks and AI, to possess cognitive traits. Drawing on Wolfram's theory of computational equivalence and ideas from Leibniz, it challenges conventional understandings of intelligence and language. The discussion further explores the limitations of human cognition, language barriers, and the evolutionary filters affecting our ability to conceive complex ideas.
