<p>The cure did this, we got tickets a few days before the shore, bought from reseller directly through ticket master but they could only be relisted at face value, got 8th for $75 I think, it was a great show</p>

<p>I was a big fan of what the Cure did, they played our town and they did not allow any tickets to be resold for anything above what they originally went for.<p>Non-transferable I think? But you could resell them via ticketmaster maybe for facevalue?<p>It was amazing, we sat on the ticketmaster page, refreshed over the course of a day and we got 8th row for I believe $75 - it was an amazing concert, and being able to pay a reasonable price for tickets like that was amazing.</p>

<p>I'll add a comment that hopefully won't get buried.  The hard problem that Rovelli is talking was, I think, the first time someone said something in the field of consciousness that people could (at the time) agree on.  Not many people were openly discussing in the 90's in academic settings.<p>It was proposed by Chalmers as a young undergrad at the Science of Consciousness conference.  I have been attending for awhile and really enjoy it.  There are so many opinions and thoughts on this post, if you are really into thinking about consciousness, this year the conference will be in San Diego.  It's a long day of lectures, followed by evenings of great conversations.  <a href="https://cs2026.org/" rel="nofollow">https://cs2026.org/</a></p>

<p>Lots of comments here and lots of opinions!  the Consciousness conference has been discussing this since 1994, will be in San Diego this October.  It is where the actual Hard problem was first proposed by Chalmers, Rovelli was at the conference a few years ago too.   <a href="https://cs2026.org/" rel="nofollow">https://cs2026.org/</a>  It's a great conference, with lots of interesting people and conversations. Highly recommend</p>

<p>Interesting, ill go down a rabbit hole on this, ACR to detect commercials and activate mute? Or play some spa music, then back to main audio when commercials are over, that would be pretty cool use of ACR</p>

<p>This is really amazing, I was daydreaming recently and thought how cool it would be to create something like that. I am glad that you've taken the initiative to get it going. Looks awesome will check it out, love Greg Bear too, just recommended Blood Music to a good friend.</p>

<p>Yup, even the Dioso-Penrose limit has two sides.  <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.13490" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.13490</a><p>Paraphrasing here: The paper above was looking for energy given off during collapse, (which they did not find) on the Diosi side, where Penrose' idea is more in the retro-causal, you wouldn't find an energy signature.  I am sure someone can call out a better representation, but similar to your response that Roger has these ideas and looks for collaborators, but still has his own ideas on things that may differ.<p>Interesting seeing this conversation going on, Roger / Stuarts work has been trashed over the years, Max Tegmark did the maths and said brain is too wet/warm for any quantum stuff, but we've been finding this in tubulin* and other places, never retracted the paper.<p>Either way, consciousness is amazing, and a mystery, anyone interested should come to Tucson in April for Towards a science of Consciousness, good conversations, interesting people, usually more questions than answers.<p><i><a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9321/4/2/19" rel="nofollow">https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9321/4/2/19</a>
