Attacks and insults? Mr Foolos04 is dishonest and he has been like that from his first reply. My labels describe his behavior and intentions that he h...

Again, when a definition is based on the description of the phenomenon...there is consensus. i.e. "Consciousness is an arousal and awareness of enviro...

Ok all of you are trying to hide behind vague and undefined terms because they serve your magical ideologies. Sorry I don't have time for this and I a...

I constantly post the link of the definition I use so you have no excuse.You are wasting my time Fooloso4.
April 10, 2023 at 22:49
I have posted many times a specific scientific definition of the term. Try to keep up or don't waste my time.
April 10, 2023 at 21:42
It depends. Words do not have intrinsic meanings , they have common usages. If someone doesn't use any of the common meanings or his intention is an a...

If people enjoy talking pass each other, then not using definitions is the way to go.
April 10, 2023 at 21:29
Scientific frameworks describe specific phenomena. We stop because claims about "energy" make no sense. Energy is NOT an agent. Your understanding of ...
April 10, 2023 at 18:30
I don't know what that means. Our consciousness is the author of our self. So why are you using our gaps in our knowledge as an excuse to argue in fav...
April 10, 2023 at 18:14
Einstein's framework describes a relation in a way smaller scale....... You can say that metabolic molecules produce energy by which brain systems are...

It means that people with existential anxieties will always find excuses to embrace a comforting idea able to separate their existence from their a bi...
April 10, 2023 at 16:58
You do understand that Conscious States are a biological phenomenon? Can you use relativity and QM to describe Metabolism or Mitosis?
April 10, 2023 at 10:57
There is no need of guessing in Chalmers's question on the hard problem 1.Why are physical processes ever accompanied by experience? -the term ever re...

"aren't always" is the key word. Obviously I am addressing those which are injecting intention or purpose in Nature. The problem is NOT just with your...

I am not interested in tap dances....have a great evening sir.
April 06, 2023 at 18:22
Yeap treat systematic knowledge as ordinary opinions is your thing, you made it clear. That's not the criterion for pseudo philosophy.... I quote form...
April 06, 2023 at 14:55
I would vote: "watch less SciFI" lol. I don't know and I don't think consciousness is the main criterion on who deserves rights or not. We provide spe...
April 06, 2023 at 12:35
Yes these steps include "visiting" specific philosophical branches and science. Again you can close your ears and shout all you want. This is the meth...

check my thumbnail, you will find all the steps of the Philosophical method ...
April 06, 2023 at 08:08
Well you identified the problem in that "if". We have no way to carry any type or research without the ability to connect memory, reasoning, judgment,...
April 06, 2023 at 07:26
I don't find made up ifs to be useful philosophy, especially when the phenomenon in questions is way to complicated and demands so many different syst...
April 06, 2023 at 07:11
I didn't accuse you of being confused. I said you are confusing different properties of mind with consciousness. That's an other topic. Intelligence i...
April 05, 2023 at 21:14
Trying to introduce the supernatural in a discussion about a property of mind is a pseudo philosophical practice. Whether farting pixies are the ultim...

In respect of your time and effort to communicate with me I will include the answer to your previous question in the end of my answer to your last set...
April 05, 2023 at 20:33
I think its a good way to demarcate ontological claims that enjoy scientific support . Of course conflicting paradigms aren't necessary wrong.
April 05, 2023 at 18:44
This is your argument to dismiss Systematic Knowledge of specialized authorities????( 35 years of advances in rapid pace). The ultimate nature of matt...
April 05, 2023 at 18:23
Try taking some Academic Moocs on Neuroscience and Cognitive Science and revisit your critique about "my opinions". Start with Future Learn and "What ...
April 05, 2023 at 14:49
Sure this is why I only excluded structures without "similar" characteristics. Replicating a brain only proves that brains are necessary and sufficien...
April 05, 2023 at 14:47
You are confusing different properties of mind with Consciousness. Consciousness, according to Neuroscience is the third basic mental property. Consci...
April 05, 2023 at 14:31
? wasn't accusing you of anything. I just pointed out how a word on the wrong hands can lead a conversation to .....quantum mechanics. Now ,we can rul...
April 05, 2023 at 13:04
I am starting to think that subjective experience means something different to you!. First of all when we talk about conscious states the term "subjec...

I thought I was the only one who finds his statements condescending and insulting....good to know.
April 05, 2023 at 11:41
If? what do you mean if? the physical reality is all that we can observe and work on. Why poisoning the well? -"then subjective experience doesn't con...
April 05, 2023 at 11:39
This is why I opened my post by saying "it depends on the definition". I distinguished the two types of "consciousness"based on the underlying driving...
April 05, 2023 at 11:22
Ok you jump from the underlying ontology of matter...to reality. From a intrinsic feature of the cosmos to an abstract concept . Reality is an observe...
April 05, 2023 at 11:14
No I am not. You are doing Chronicling (that dude said that once). I reflect on the available knowledge and come to conclusions which happen to be in ...

April 05, 2023 at 10:37
IS it really? You do understand that conscious states shuffle stimuli giving the illusion of unification through the property of memory? He needs to u...
April 05, 2023 at 10:33
Did you on purpose left the rest of my statement out? I hope it wasn't a dishonest practice but a decision of "economy of word". My actual statement w...
April 05, 2023 at 10:19
It depends from the definition. If we AI "consciousness" is based on the algorithmic process of data feeding prioritizing those which are beneficial o...
April 05, 2023 at 09:39

An accurate simulation of the organ and its function should also simulate its by product.
