This assumes you're not just trolling, but actually, it applies if you are trolling as well.
Most HNer are actually dumb enough (or "scientific" as they like to call it) to believe that material universe exists in some vacuum with all its unbreakable laws, that it came into existence from nothingness, and believe that their lack of ability to explain what consciousness is is just a mere case of not-enough-science-yet.
I'm not saying be religious but being staunch atheist and materialist is really no better than being bigoted God-worshipper. Don't block yourself from playing with your own hypothesis-space just because it's full of "unscientific" things.
There's nothing wrong with "playing with your own hypothesis-space" as you put it, but it's stupid to believe in something without any proof that it might be true.
It's fine to think "what if god created the universe" or "what if we're living inside a giant space beaver" or "what if there is another fundamental force responsible for consciousness that we can't measure" but unless you actually have some evidence or reasoning that points in that direction, they are all stupid theories compared to materialism which actually fits into the current scientific world view pretty well.
Singularity of stupidity is already here. I mean, you have to be pretty stupid to take something as absurd and sci-fi nerd bs like "singularity" seriously.
Life doesn't solve "problems" though - it just creates random order from chaos.
What kind of problems do you even have in mind? What would you even solve if we could somehow understand or control these bigger forces of organization?
I agree with the OP, we are not replacing silicon with DNA or anything - this article is just another "tech" article that shouldn't exist.
Wait, what? Biological systems are not solving problems? It does so all the time! Seriously?
> it just creates random order from chaos.
You get that with just physics, on a large scale for example the formation of galaxies and stars, or when things self-sort by weight in a gravity field (heavy stuff goes to bottom of a solution, lighter stuff goes to the top).
No, they don't solve problems, it's just natural selection in an environment with lots of randomness.
Life didn't even start out by solving problems, as I said: random order from chaos. Life doesn't care about solving problems, it's just collection of random matter.
Given enough random matter, you are destined to get some with odd properties in right conditions that can also spiral out of control to create something like a human.
Of course they do. Being alive presents all kinds of problems. I mean, seriously man... I don't understand the things you write, really strange stuff, I'm at a loss.
Life didn't start out because it had the problem of not being a thing.
Can it still be considered "problem-solving" when the so-called "problems" are only so in the context of animal survival and breeding from the perspective of animal consciousness? Life just randomly grows and takes on random shapes, it's not a force of problem-solving.
Life would extinguish itself if it was the force of problem-solving, because that would ultimately solve all the problems.
I don't know how can you create a problem-solving force from an environment where none exists. You can only create forces of chaos from such an environment.
