China Overland Part 5 is live: Saga to Zhangmu via G219, Lake Manasarovar, Rakshastal, Chiu Gompa, Mount Kailash, Darchen, Nyalam, G318, Zhangmu Port and the Sino-Nepal Friendship Bridge. Sacred lakes, yagna fire, kora town, yak-horn offerings, landslide news, macaques, and one steep gorge drop. High-altitude Tibet handed us to Nepal with paperwork, rain, cliffs, and opinions. Thin air, wet brakes too.

I use the Tibetan notion of bardos in concert with Derek Parfit and Galen Strawson to explain why it makes no logical sense to assume LLMs can be conscious.
