AI, consciousness and the clash between living matter and synthetic code power Irreducible Chapter 6.
You’ll grasp why “live information” layers matter, energy and data into self-sustaining organisms while rigid circuitry stays trapped in digital bits.
The Thinking on Paper book club arms you with a clear framework to judge every claim about machine awareness and life’s essential spark—challenging you: is AI conscious, can machines ever be conscious and is consciousness woven into the universe itself?
Join the discussion and test your assumptions with cutting-edge thought experiments and real-world examples.
Press play to think for yourself and never take AI claims at face value.
