On the podcast with Joe Rogan he arrogantly claims that consciousness "is just a brain thing", excluding and rejecting all possible metaphysical explanations for what consciousness might be. Minute 4:00 of the following clip
On a a podcast with Lex Friedman he aproaches the Simulation Hypothesis with a very different tone, explaining that that we might all be connected and making the comparison that me might all be connected to a cloud like smartphones are connected to the cloud
Redditors and fedora tipper atheists see no contradiction claiming that religion is stupid while believing in a simulation because its just hecking science. No metaphysical or philosophical aspects or conondrums with such a bizzare idea, its just science chud!

prove him wrong
but wait
>podcasts
not IQfy. frick off to /x/
>its all a coincidence, we just exist because WE JUST EXIST AND THATS IT, OK? *tips fedora*
>its all part of the plan bro, we just exist because GOD WANTED SOME TAMAGOTCHIS *tips crucifix*
thats were you're wrong bucko, I'm not a Christian
can you prove him right, are we all connected to an intelligent cloud? Are we all living in a simulation attached to the quantum matrix of information? This is just science right? If you believe this you believe in science and therefore its cool since youre not a religious fanatic claiming that theres a higher power like God
>can you prove him right, are we all connected to an intelligent cloud?
i didn't say anything about that. i haven't listened to the podcast, so i don't know if you are just making shit up or not. the way you have stated it, it sounds like something someone like rupert sheldrake would say, so i suspect dawkins doesn't believe it for a moment. dawkins has been known to take the piss out of idiot interviewers. also, i'm assuming that you have accurately stated what was actually said, because there's no way someone would just go on the internet and make shit up about someone they don't agree with
anyway you clearly can't prove him wrong, so i'll just make shit up and assume you're just another butthurt religitard who is angry that the world doesn't work the way it did in the 16th century
still not IQfy, still frick off to /x/
you are a fricking loser
and you're a stupid wanker who believes in fairy dust
now what
I mean isn't that the premise of simulation theory also?
When you get down to it "simulation" and "creation" aren't that different
i said prove him wrong, not have a hissy fit about it
>>>/x/
Replace existence with god and it’s the same thing. Human pride can’t handle that there’s just some shit that’s beyond our comprehension and we don’t have good answers.
>Replace existence with god and it’s the same thing.
No, it's not.
It’s called faith you moronic Black person
Only moronic Black folk have faith.
Frontrunner for best post on all of IQfy in 2022. Very well said.
>prove him wrong
Not how the burden of proof works.
Propagandists are good at their job.
>he arrogantly claims that consciousness is just a brain thing
And? That's really not that controversial, my guy
because reptilians are real or even if not they make a good allegory for the glibalists.
Dawkins is just very autistic, and it shows everytime he speaks. He himself has said that he probably would be diagnosed with it if he was born at a later time.
It doesn't. He'd very socially apt and the "interview" with Jordan Peterson shows it. If anyone's the sperg, it's Peterson. Even Joe Rogan is more autistic than Dawkins.
That "interview" with Peterson was absolutely terrible. Peterson was just talking about nonsense and Dawkins only got 2 sentences in the whole recording.
Then you haven't seen enough interviews. His supposed arrogance isn't arrogance at all, it's simply him not understanding how to engage in conversations and read social cues.
He's excellent. Most people are just bombastic blithering idiots that talk to you. Every interview I've ever heard with Dawkins is unscripted and he treats it as two way conversation even if the other participant doesn't.
>He's excellent.
No he's not, he's a cringe libshit autist and he proves it every time he talks, just like in the videos OP linked.
Based Dawkins making Christcucks seethe, nobody has made any arguments against him.
>On the podcast with Joe Rogan he arrogantly claims that consciousness "is just a brain thing", excluding and rejecting all possible metaphysical explanations for what consciousness might be
well that's kind of the standard materialist position, and he is a materialist isn't he? i see what you mean about the simulation theory though, that's a surprisingly unscientific thing to support for a guy who's always droning-on about "muh science."
>that's a surprisingly unscientific thing to support for a guy who's always droning-on about "muh science."

>simulation theory though, that's a surprisingly unscientific thing to support for a guy who's always droning-on about "muh science."
Baka
>you actually believe in a metaphysical reality described in some 2000 year old fairty tales? lol what an idiot
>omg that PHD scientist said we live in a simulation ruled by algorithms and programs made by some programmer, SO TRUE! I fricking love science!
Seethe mutt christlarper
>He doesn't know the difference between evidence based claims and idle speculation
I can take an ice cream scoop and dig out big chunks of your brain, and then you can tell everyone how conscious you are.
>Language is the tongue and hands because if I cut your hands off and tongue out you're no longer able to speak or write anything.
really stupid metaphor. even people without tongues and hands can still use language. in fact we have created modes of language (e.g. sign language for deaf/dumb people) specifically for those people
if i chop out your broca's area or wernicke's area though, it would be a different matter
>in fact we have created modes of language (e.g. sign language for deaf/dumb people
Sign language does not work if you do not have hands.
>really stupid metaphor.
Seems like you weren't even able to understand it. It's metaphysical gibberish to assert that language is anything more than a physical mechanism in the hands and tongue. There is no scientific evidence for any other assertion. If we get rids of the hands and tongue, they are no longer capable of language, therefore language is in the hands and tongue.
>Sign language does not work if you do not have hands.
well duh you deliberately obtuse wanker. you also suggested cutting out someone's tongue. someone with no tongue can use sign language. someone with no hands could use their feet. there are people who are very skilled with using their feet for painting, writing etc.
>Seems like you weren't even able to understand it
seems like you want to change the fricking goalposts every post.

you absolute unfathomable moron. you know you don't have to go full moron on every fricking post.
>On the podcast with Joe Rogan he arrogantly claims that consciousness "is just a brain thing", excluding and rejecting all possible metaphysical explanations for what consciousness might be.
There's no evidence for whatever your favorite metaphysical theory of consciousness is. Feel free to believe whatever you'd like, it doesn't really matter. Hardly any different from choosing your favorite interpretation of quantum mechanics.
>this thread
Frick off. Consciousness is existence because consciousness is fundamental, get over it. And yes, isn't a "brain thing", read Chalmers.
Who's Dawkins
Not that many people believe in simulation thery. It could be true and God could also exist, both are basically unfalsifiable.
>neotrad and cathLARP zoomers see no contradiction claiming that simulation is stupid while believing in a religion because its just hecking metaphysics. No scientific or physical aspects or conondrums with such a bizzare idea, its just metaphysics cuck!
Simulation is just Intelligent Design for le Science! crowd. You’re already acknowledging a prime mover all that’s left is to pick which one.
>Man who spent years thinking about near impossible questions has opinions
ok anon. Cool
You're angry about what some pop-sci guy said on Joe Rogan. Why? Just go out and kiss a girl or something
Yeah haha it’s as easy as that haha can do it anytime I want hahahaha
