Status Updates From Being No One: The Self-Mode...

“[…]no such things as selves exist in the world: Nobody ever was or had a self. All that ever existed were conscious self-models that could not be recognized as models. The phenomenal self is not a thing, but a process—and the subjective experience of being someone emerges if a conscious information-processing system operates under a transparent self-model.”

Science-fiction disguised as... phenomenology I guess. Kinda lost at the "swallowing" part, this bullshit is about consciousness, "swallowing the flow", for god's sake:

"By opening time windows in this sense, a system can, for itself, generate an operational time: By quantisizing its information processing, it swallows the flow of physical time on a very fundamental level of its representation of the world."

reading this is like being trepanned

This is one of the most difficult reading experiences...
