Eternal "life" in the #GAI cloud and life simulation? Better second-think that idea - Mr. #Thiel, #Musk and other #Transhumanism crackheads!

In this thought experiment mixed with science fiction and serious futurism, eminent neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch sketches a not-so-distant future in which we will be tempted by the promise of eternal life in an AI cloud. With the fluidity of a novelist, he brings to life this felt temptation, in all its force, just to smash it towards the end. This essay is a critical warning to us all, an attempt to have us confront the problem before we are actually faced with it, so we can protect ourselves with the light of reason.
Hans Busstra interviews theoretical physicist and #complexity scientist #JamesGlattfelder on his new book: “The #SapientCosmos: What a modern-day synthesis of science and philosophy teaches us about the emergence of information, consciousness, and meaning”, published by #EssentiaFoundation.
Can a #newscience bridge the gap between the noumena and the phenomena, the 1st person and the 3rd person perspective? A bit more provocatively: what is the relationship between #physics, #psychedelic experiences and #shamanism? #Glattfelder makes a plea for syncretic idealism: a worldview that synthesises ancient idealist texts and mystical experiences with physics, complexity science and analytic idealism.
#SyncreticIdealism could lead to a #ScientificSpirituality, a form of #empiricalmysticism that acknowledges a purposeful universe, wanting to know itself through ever increasing complexity."
