So that our electronics can hear sound. discuss order hn newest qsera|4 days ago So according to you when can you qualify something as capable of hearing1. Vibrate according input to the sound, is that hearing?2. Generate electrical signals according to the sound, is that hearing?3. Amplify electrical signal, does we cross the hearing mark?4. Record the signal to a cassete tape (or use an ADC -> mp3), are we hearing yet?5. Play it back through a speaker. Sure, we should be hearing now!At which point exactly would you say the thing is definitely hearing? fc417fc802|3 days ago You can reduce the human auditory process to a similar mechanical list. At which specific point would you say a human is hearing?You've fallen into the trap of human exceptionalism but you don't seem to be aware of that fact. Are you a substance dualist or not? load replies (1) joquarky|3 days ago Alan Watts talks about this.If a tree falls, does it make a sound? It depends on whether there is somebody to ultimately perceive the vibrations that the falling tree made (either directly or via recording). load replies (1)
