Human consciousness on the other hand is single-threaded.
I am not necessarily disagreeing at this moment, but it is not self-evidently clear to me that this is correct. I would like to know what Elli and Elayne (and of course others too) think about this.
Mike if someone were to dispute you on that point what would you point to as authority or evidence?
And would saying that consciousness is single threaded mean that we cannot be aware of more than a single feeling of pleasure and pain at one time? Maybe discussing "single or multi-threaded" becomes a rabbit hole not to pursue, but i think the general issue probably ought to be made clear.
