>how would you approach creating a consciousness purely with logic gates?
You don't. It's not possible to make signs out of any combination of binary relationships. You need a ternary relationship.
Does consciousness involve quantum mechanics and if not...

Everything involves being conscious, when will you people learn.

>guy: dudes im conscious
Doesn't cut it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence although any evidence would be a nice start at least.
Consciousness is a mystical/new age concept outside mainstream science since it's not falsifiable.

Define self-awareness
You don't have conscious control of your legs when you walk. Neither are you entirely conscious of how exactly you are moving your arm and hand joints when replying to this post

Pinch yourself to find out if you are awake, that's half consciousness right there. Look in a mirror and see if you can tell which image is you. And that's awareness, Bam those are the only two conditions for consciousness awake and aware.
But it's only an experiment you can do for yourself, you can't prove someone else's consciousness with this method.

And what if the realization that you're not real would cause insanity so your brain tricks you into thinking it's not a machine?
Brody Johnson
What the fuck are you trying to say?
Being a machine or not is irrelevant.
You're one of those cunts who put consciousness on a metaphysical pedestal, aren't you?
Hudson King
You miss my point entirely. A universe without consciousness is a world without observation. Intelligent processes could still occur but they would be presented to nothing (a complete experience vacuum) and, therefore, would be meaningless to even think about.

This is the old "if a tree falls in the forest when there's no one there..." argument.
It makes a "thud" and ruffles the leaves of nearby trees.
This degenerates into a discussion over what "sound" is; vibration in air or sensation in brain.
As Einstein put it, "Do you really believe the Moon is not there where no one is looking at it?"

who cares what you feel?
