Video games and the Law of One

[Ali Quadir]

What I mean to say is that while the computer program may not be alive when left alone with no input (thus about as conscious as dust, as you put it), we "lend" it our consciousness when we start playing. The game character is not directly conscious; it is our vessel to express ourself within that illusion. In the same way, our human body is not directly conscious; it is our vessel to enter this reality. If we don't project our consciousness into the video game (we put down the controller), it does not recieve our consciousness directly. In the same way, a human body is not conscious unless there is a soul projecting into it (if it stops incarnating).

I think that if you agree with me that "This means that AI entities are not alive. We do not project our consciousness into them like we do with the player character." Then we agree completely.

I've said earlier that players where alive, but I was of the impression that we were discussing AI entities. The entities that are not controlled by the player and therefore not alive and not connected by your principle of consciousness inheritance. (Which I think is a very useful concept)
