Interesting conversation I don't agree that vision creates the hard problem of consciousness but feelings do not Mary could equally be an emotion scientist, who knows all the neuroanatomy and physiology of emotions, but doesn't know what they feeling like Nevertheless, I think Solms is right that feelings and vision likely generate some different intuitions about consciousness

What an amazing conversation Wow! So much to learn as follow-up out of this discussion What a shame you couldn’t have a longer conversation with the Professor Incredibly rich and full of beautiful ideas Just beautiful
Comment from : @snarkyboojum

The only person you have ever actually interviewed that is actually relevant, period
Comment from : @Phoenix_Core

Prof Solms should have dropped the mic after the part about it not being information itself but the systems imperative or need to ask questions in relation to consciousness What need does AI have for asking questions for survival?
Comment from : @Planturs

Well done lads Some nice probes into the brain and a sober consideration of the role and purpose of emotions as central to individualization and survival, and not just a superfluous, extraneous, repressible behavior
Comment from : @zipperpillow

I really enjoy Mark Solms' passion to understand and explain the processes of consciousness I also learned much from his book, although I remain a constructivist with regard to the shaping of subcortical affective signalling into contextualised PFC emotional expressions Great to hear the linking of value and meaning to information Information is just noise without a primed encoding receiver
Comment from : @gofirit

Great episode, but I wonder, does feeling actively help us survive directly in the moment, or is it something that comes after actions have already been decided subconsciously and thus it’s only purpose Is to allow communication to others about how we feel?
Comment from : @SamJoseph

sorry but I dissent The reticular activation system is not about feeling or consciousness, it is only the dumb power supply of the wet computer

Social media is just the tower of babble on another level We are threatened by our inability to live in a shared reality The loss of this ability is fostered by the technology We are dividing the house against ourselves WTF is wrong with us? This is mental

We need more dual aspect monists The popular story of serontonin causing happiness as being the causal flow when you consider that happiness ALSO causes serontonin makes me wonder why more people aren''t dual aspect monists
Comment from : @bradmodd7856

This was totally convincing to me A discussion of consciousness, its relationship to a physicalist theory, the fundamental role of affect and the parts of our central nervous system that produce it, how affect arises and produces the relatively inefficient product of consciousness, just a bunch of great stuff

Another fascinating episode Your work is very much appreciated Thank you!!!

Mark Solms is on my list of intellectual heroes
Comment from : @dlav2198

Solms progress here is to locate the correlates of consciousness in the Reticular Activating System (RAS) He makes no progress on the hard problem of consciousness, admitting in the end that consciousness is indeed real and that tracking it to its precise physical correlates is enough He declares he can work with that I seem to recall that Solms has a project of building a conscious system I question whether he can do that without an ontology of consciousness Because of that, he cannot say whether consciousness can be built in silicon or that substrate does not matter A question I would ask of him is whether consciousness is what many would characterize as an information process, as in the control exerted by motor neurons, or whether it is a purely physical thing like muscle, bone, and ligament - teleological mechanical devices being controlled We can get different motor responses by how we signal our motor system We can also get different feelings by how we signal the RAS How is RAS in this sense not simply another muscle?

Mark is a manic genius, you can tell his mind is just bursting at the seems with insight

Given the existence of LLMs, does it prompt us to question whether there is a specific subjective experience associated with speaking?

Please don't limit the time!brMake a 3 or 4 hour podcast, we could handle any duration! :)

Comment from : @renereiche

I had a lucid dream that I went to the mirror and I was an Asian guy, looked totally different and I could sense my personality was also different yet I felt totally like myself but a different self Took me a few minutes as I woke to remember who I am That convinced me that the sense of self is not dependent on the perception and experience of self
Comment from : @Rakibrown111

It's a very logical and nice story, but it still doesn't explain HOW the brain generates inner subjective feelings How does the firing of neurons in the brainstem give rise to feelings?

One of this month's best content you could listen to!
Comment from : @iAkashPaul

Wow, loved this episode ❤🎉
Comment from : @craigrichards5472

Whatever consciousness is, it is not computation!
Comment from : @BoosterShot1010

Solms has a lot of interesting insights, a great interview and I would love to hear from him again!
Comment from : @dm204375

People worry about what a super intelligent AI might do but I’d look at it as payback for all the times one of us miserable monkeys scraped the cortex off a neonatal mammal to see what would happen
Comment from : @AdrianBoyko

Interesting comments about reporting consciousness vs measuring it, especially in view of ongoing chain of thought LLM hype ;)
Comment from : @oncedidactic

The functions and processes of consciousness are probably more simple than most people think they are They are probably present even in arthropods and mollusksbrbrWe just need to find the right cognitive architecture to activate consciousness in artificial agents And I think that could happen anytime soon, if we do the proper experiments with the software

Fascinating discussion The whole Machine Learning Street Talk atmosphere seems like a continuous developmental process It not only shows many outstanding individuals, such as Prof Mark Solms, but, also, produces sparks of joy by stimulating curiosity every single episode! brbrKudos and keep on going with incredible content!

Please do a follow up interview, that is twice as long Many great insights

Amazing story about Mark's brother and his research

Reticular activator Love this bit of brain not heard much about it recently Had almost forgotten about it!! 🎉🎉
Comment from : @The0_0

This guy is great I agree about not getting lost in the arcana It's something I detest I think a lot of people don't see the forrest for the trees I'm often told I'm being simplistic, but I see it as elegance Prof Solms phrases his ideas really well At their core, these are not difficult notions Why cloud them with Byzantine terminology and academic non sequiturs? Occam's razor is a kind of error function indicator
Comment from : @drmikeybee

omg i love Mark Solms Hidden Spring It totally changed my perspective on how the mind works
Comment from : @_tnk_

I very much like Prof Solms' use of the phrase "mental experience" It's an important distinction from the general term "experience" as it is often thrown about in discussions of consciousness Mental experience implies cognitive processing Experience merely implies being the object of an action
Comment from : @drmikeybee

I am my subconscious I don’t have a conscious in the sense that it is modeled today What is mistakenly considered to be our conscious is actually just a part of our brain that reflects back awareness of our subconscious
Comment from : @Inventeeering

Mark is such a wonderful thinker, his thoughts on consciousness are most compelling brbrHe has done great things for psychoanalysis through his work utilising neuroscientific methods I enjoyed chatting with him on accounts of dreaming and conciousnees 🎉
Comment from : @thismindofours

so dense and I'm only 1 minute in amazing
Comment from : @pthemenace

Feeling should not be equated with or bound to chemical context injections I think what we call feeling is fundamentally a property of emotional intelligence In other words, in humans, all sorts of context is assembled for processing, including chemical messages, but there is nothing intrinsically special about chemical context It's just more context What humans do with this context is extraordinary, but given the same complex pipeline, an entity could do this just as well from the value of a state variable
