Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups (www.tandfonline.com)

What about consciousness?

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Is self awareness of information processing and filtering.

Truly the strangest epiphenomenon we're all aware of

Or is it an epiphenomenon... No one can tell IMO.

You're certainly not wrong! To me, it seems that consciousness is just what it is to be the kind of machines that we are, and also why sentience/consciousness is so impossible for the sort of synthetic 'AI's we have that currently exist. But how could we ever really tell? Hard to know what evidence would ever be convincing either way!

Exactly!
