Another function provided by the brain.

A most accurate observation, friend.

This is incoherent. And nothing has gone unexplained, you just keep saying that and then proceeding to attempt to relate it to something irrelevant. S...

No, it clearly says more than that. And sleep is not an important component to consciousness in the regard we're talking about. Again, go back to what...

Yes, and the problem here is, that's an anti-philosophical cop-out for disregarding the science that has been established, that people employ here alm...

If you read the meta-analysis, it covers this. Conscious experience is a matter of wakefulness, meaning "Neurological awareness is primarily anatomica...

No, they're pretty thorough. Anything here in this meta-analysis that they're missing? Appears to me that "consciousness" is merely a term, long in us...

Not according to the evidence.

Yeah, I don't even know how to address stuff like that anymore. It's 2022 on a philosophy forum, a month after they send the most sophistacted telesco...

You disagree based upon what evidence? And what does thie evidence suggest to you? Again, what exactly are you postulating and why? No, I understood y...

Yes, I'd say you're right. It's beneficial in the sense that it actually formalizes what you desire in a way that it's something you would ask a deity...

I'm sorry, man. You mean from me on the Kant spherical geometry? I thought you and the other guy were handling that. I'm not actually in touch with Ka...

What you're saying has nothing to do with that term. We aren't talking about mood disorders, or anything like that. Not in a manner that keeps someone...

Yep, my point. Bye now.

No relevance detected between myself and people denying reality in the face of evidence. That you would be you, not I.

No, I don't.

No, I have compassion for people that are putting up with something highly specific, in regards to the actions of a tyrant. I do not feel compassion f...

No, if you read my post, you'll notice that my specific assertion was that brain functions are mental functions and psychological phenomena. There's n...

Applying the ethical standard of rationally selfish benefit to a collective of individuals, is still individual benefit as decided and recieved by tho...

That's precisely what it would indicate. That doesn't mean that thoughts 'aren't' something else, technically speaking. But, what exactly is on offer ...

No, reality cannot be argued against with any sort of legitimacy.

Don't know what you'd argue against. It's all the same stuff you base yours on, but claim otherwise regarding.

I didn't say such. I'm basing my reality on my senses, distributed cognition, tools that enhance sensory data quality, experimentation, independent ve...

I'm still waiting to detect something of that nature. It hasn't happened yet.

Do I have to consider my variables when viewing images of people being displaced by a war criminal violating the one principle I have asserted is the ...

So, you accept a fact of science describing the nature of a domain of observence within reality? .....

They're really, really little. Like, teensie.

Oh, I see. I would suggest not Neoplatonism.

This is still not argument.

You've presented no argument.

Just the one you exist in.

That's a cool fact of reality.

Statement of reality.

You believed my nonsense was real before sending that.

No, you can't.

No you can't. You can't talk in reality without accepting that you know what you're about to say, or that your tech will work, or that this is the rig...

You already have accepted it. Evinced by your responding to me.

If you can answer your own question without drivel, I will stop dismissing you.

No, that's what you have to do, or you'll continue being dismissed.

No, because "I just ignore scientific reality." See how you just make things up?

A point of any kind would suffice, really.

Reality.

It's not possible to argue against assertions of non-existent substance that is claimed no evidence is needed for. You're not arguing here, on this. Y...

It would just look like what modern neuroscience tells us it does. Current research suggests, and I mean all of it suggests, that consciousness is pro...

Where do the mystics keep churning these guys out of? Fucking Rivendell??

:cool:

What a funny way to assert a fact of reality for those that are not interested.

Yes, to put it a bit more succinct than I.

Yes, they call that executive dysfunctionality. Normally associated with trauma. And it depends on the nature of the issue. Once memory is damaged you...
