    Um that’s a nice metaphor and all but that’s all it is. You pretend like its a profound statement when just 150 years ago they would have used the wax phonograph metaphor.

    The map isn’t the territory no matter how hard you pretend it is.

      Again, what we engaging is a philosophical discussion. And it is not a metaphor, it is analogy.

      And while the map is not the territory, the question is what consciousness is. Is it the territory (brain) or the map (software)? It is very easy to argue that AI gives us a good indication that consciousness might appear somehow in AI systems too at some time, and there, there would be no question that it is a software.
