that is very human centric view. Similar to earth being centre of universe.

Unless you believe in some kind of magic mechanism that gives consciousness, we are nothing more than a wetware algorithm.

I've tried to have this type of conversation many times with many people over the past few years. I've found that not only are they resistive to this sort of take, but it frequently makes people angry if you try to take this position in the argument. And this is even with people who I can debate politics with for hours without it devolving into a shouting match.

I'm not sure what it is about the idea that triggers this reaction, but it's always very exciting for me when I find other people who are having the same lines of thought on these matters as I am.

We're just extremely complex machines, and IMO that means free-will is just an illusion. If we're deterministic machines, there is no free will.

It's not because our brains thought up the concept of algorithm that reality must conform to the idea of an algorithm. The only scientific hint that we get on this mater we get from quantum mechanics which says that the universe isn't deterministic at all.

Your view is actually very human centric. Just because an algorithm is all you know, doesn't mean the universe behaves like an algorithm, or consciousness, for that matter.
