Better approximation: Don’t write posts about consciousness, unless you have read about mysterious answers to mysterious questions, and you’ve had an insight that make consciousness seem less mysterious than before.
I had read mysterious answers to mysterious questions. I think I do have an explanation that makes consciousness seem less mysterious and which does not introduce any additional mysteries. Unfortunately I seem to be the only one who appreciates that.
Maybe if I had started out to discuss the computational requirements of the perception of consciousness there would have been less objection. But I don’t see any way to differentiate between perception of consciousness and consciousness. I don’t think you can have one without the other.
There should be some kind of “read this first before talking about consciousness” post which would atleast provide some definitions so articles about consciousness would be comprehensive.
Good first approximation: don’t write posts about consciousness, if you don’t want to be downvoted.
