Cognitive Neuroscience? And, it isn't demonstrably false, it's one of the leading theories. Right, and that's really the direction they're going in no...
I just don't see how that could be the case. "Net gains" describes an individual benefit for a number of individuals receiving benefit. The "qualitati...
So, from what I can gather, the actual theoretical description of how the conscious process works from IIT is, in fact, sound, and accepted as a genui...
Yes, ethics should be taught in highschool. Not just yes, but to an even greater point of clarity: the absence of philosophy in highschool and lower l...
No, if that were the case I'd be seeing arguments informed by some form of scientific research. Seeing as you've decided not to do so, again, you've m...
Yes. The only reason a collective would claim right to something as a general good, would be because it is of good to each individual, or the maximal ...
I have never encountered so many narcissists. Yes, of course, it is a Category Error because this is a philosophy forum. As if philosophical training ...
Such happens quite frequently. Hubble's Constant put to rest the idea of the heliocentric model of the universe, did it not? There are certain claims ...
Modern neuroscience puts the idea that they cannot be accounted for to sleep, definitively. Examples: "In conclusion, the current review highlights re...
You have misunderstood, respectfully. IIT is among the the leading theories, and is actual among the functionalist theories. Which means, although it ...
No, it seemed to me that you were rejecting my position, and replacing it with your hypothesis. Had you told me that the data was at least acceptable ...
No. The heart is innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic fibres from the autonomic branch of the peripheral nervous system. The network of nerve...
Well, I'll make you a deal. You give me the benefit of accepting that what the empirical evidence suggests is what I have relayed here, irrespective o...
The brain controls the heart. Insults are getting fucking old, dude. Your term, not mine. This is reduction. There is no "just," in reality. Sure you ...
Eugene, that would be amazing if I could detect such, if it was something that was clear was going on. I'm not opposed to that being the truth, but I ...
And you all appear as Pharisees condemning wlhat you don't like to hear, because you feel as if it will demolish your coherent belief system. It won't...
I agree. I do see that. I simply don't conclude anything past what the evidence demonstrates, is all. And I am very oppositional to assertions that do...
So, no, I have said that emotions are involved in the reasoning process, but are not themselves rationality. I do think it is interest, predictive mod...
Acknowledge, not granting. Just read the thread, you'll notice. Because, for years people have been trying to pin down what structure(s) actually prod...
No, you'll notice I attempt to empirically describes things that are true, while you do nothing. Metaphysical claims are not falsifiable by science, b...
I get that, and that's totally fair. I don't claim that we know what we do not. And we don't know that yet, not beyond basic biochemistry, neuropharma...
This, my friend. This is why understanding the nature of consciousness, in a definitive way, is going to change ethics forever. This is the only reaso...
Yes, it's far more complex than that interpretation. I don't think it's something we'll have to ever worry about. Maybe we'll wait for neural link to ...
That's because we haven't started talking ethics yet. I have no interest in robotic reguritation of fact. What I despise is robotic dismissal of fact ...
It really has among neuroscientists. What's not really finding favor is any claim of consciousness from a single point within the brain. I have never ...
Sure, there's going to be analytical elements, but those formulae don't just emerge in analytics and then become immediately accept by the physics com...
Is that right? Now, that is interesting, I'll have a look at that. Yes, especially when people aren't informed by what the empirical observations have...
Not really. I'm inclined to with modern views on consciousness pervading the topic, but when I think about it, when I say something like "my song" whe...
Right, this illustrates the point of this thread, and the research that I left in it, with serious clarity, thank you. The emergent properties of cons...
Aye, theory siblings, you and I. And yes, infinite is more like it. Beginning and end are human interpolations because we detect patterns through time...
I don't know, Rouge, I've worried about this problem since I was 9 years old and watched The Matrix for the first time, hah. I don't think it would be...
I can't fuckin wait to see what happens there. It gives me shivers. This is the future of ethics as a branch, in my defendable opinion. Hey, man, than...
Yes, which is why I try to stay up-to-date on the science that is important to the field. I have concluded that if one's positions are not compatible ...
I'm under the impression that the role these particle interactions play are supplementary to the global structure of the brain. Have you discovered da...
