Dennis Hackethal’s Blog

My blog about philosophy, coding, and anything else that interests me.

This mirrored tweet of mine may be formatted slightly differently than on Twitter.

This is an older tweet. I don’t necessarily endorse it anymore.

I don’t disagree that marks on paper can represent abstract entities.

I’m saying that consciousness requires information processing, and a piece of paper is only memory.

The piece of paper “knows” how to multiply given the right marks, but it can’t multiply without a processor.
