Ok, I think I'm following you now. You're saying that I'm failing to
provide a definitive argument showing that it is ridiculous to endow
the projection of a movie of a computation with consciousness. (Or, in
my alternate thought experiment, I'm failing to provide a *definitive*
reason why it's ridiculous to endow the "playing back" of the
previously-computed "block universe" with consciousness.) I concur -
my arguments are convincing, but not definitive. If MGA 3 (or MGA 4,
etc.) is definitive, or even just more convincing, so much the better.
Please proceed!
