Episode 33 - Biology or Process: Does it Matter?
Does a mind require meat, or is it simply a process? In this episode Mike and Dave look at some of the arguments behind the idea of biological requirements for consciousness and if the chemical entropy of the human brain is a feature or a bug. Explore the role of sensory "packages," the necessity of suffering, and how the absence of mortality might differentiate a Machine Intelligence from any mind we've encountered before.
