I keep coming back to medical students being taught that the immune system has memory. Memory B cells and memory T cells persist after infection and mount faster, stronger responses to previously encountered pathogens. It’s the entire basis of vaccination. Yet, those cells have no brain or consciousness. Biology uses “cognitive” vocabulary all the time and none of them presuppose consciousness. So why can’t we use cognition and cognitive drift without looking like you’re part of some AI feverdream? submitted by /u/sbuswell
