"The Tune of Things" by Christian Wiman is an essay exploring consciousness, artificial intelligence, and perceptions of reality. He includes a range of scientific and philosophical anecdotes, from a seemingly brainless man with high intelligence, to tree reactions, Einstein's ideas about music, and AI's influence on human brain understanding. The essay also considers dualities that shape and distort our understandings.
Is consciousness God?
