Another position is that it’s a transceiver (and this is relatively old). Yet we should be careful about reifying our minds in the image of machines or technologies that are derivative models of »specific processes that we experience, deduce or derive from Nature and »our direct participation in it.

Let’s be careful about reproducing an error that has and continues to cause vast confusion and even idiocy in our common ideas, concepts and thoughts about the nature of mind, consciousness and existence.

The »is of identity is »most problematical when applied to the source of the processes from which identity is »derived — that being the brain (or, more accurately, certain functions of consciousness that involve language and identification).

This is tantamount to using the (is of identity) to reduce the supercontainer (the universe) to some object or knowable mechanism, etc. Which is, presently and historically, one of the most lethal errors that human conceptual intelligence is vulnerable to.

Someone remarked on this:

But I find this idea so conceptually compelling!

To which I replied: Thank you for illustrating the terrible danger so succinctly! They blocked me.
