There is no distinction between the two, Harry. The brain emits, generates, or otherwise enables consciousness, just as it does sight, through its ope...
...? I don't understand how hepatocytes can produce anything that isn't livers. Basically the same level of analysis. Consciousness is the brain opera...
Yeah, I think you're right about that. I'd say this is a dimension of the Epistemology that could use a neuroscience update. Maybe I'll write about th...
Sure, that sounds about right. What I'm highlighting is that these ion currents are used by the network to produce representations of the world in acc...
Right, which is why your metaphysics, like most, isn't relevant. You cannot have a philosophy that isn't informed by the science, irrespective of whet...
I just don't know what to call what it is that the brain does use to produce images, sounds, ideas, concepts, and creative endeavors. Information is t...
lol, I see what you mean Eugene. I've no problem with it. I'm simply saying that there isn't enough literature in the science to say things definitive...
This is just another attempt to point to a gap in knowledge and say "See?!" that's just not what's going on here. There are plenty of things GWT can't...
Most of this is spot on. The concept of fields of consciousness has been tossed out in favor of GWT at this time. Always stay tuned, but that's not cu...
It isn't a problem. As I explained, it's just a gap in knowledge, most of which is accounted for in 2022. But, I can't literally explain the same thin...
See this is much better. So, no, I entirely understand what you're saying, and even second it. Neuroscience has not uncovered all of the mechanisms as...
Yes, any sort of analysis that takes place beyond basic instinct that can be used to inform later behavior is basic reason that can only grow in sophi...
You've already invalidated your stated postion by being here having attempted to argue with me in the first place. Do not continue to insult me simply...
Generates, emits, or otherwise enables. Just like sight. The brain produces consciousness exactly in the same manner that it produces sight. Yet, nobo...
That is correct. Consciousness remains the greatest mystery in science for highly specific reasons. However, what you are overlooking in this articles...
Just so everyone is aware, this is the first actual argument to appear on this thread. You've regained some points with me, Wayfarer. Well done. I'll ...
No, I respond to insults with insults, go have a care to notice. I do not play that bullshit, and I will always respond in kind. I never initiate insu...
No, your research agreed with me, not you. And I pointed that out to you by quoting it. Did you miss that part? Here, I'll do it again: "This has neve...
That's correct. Now, take that idea and apply it to what I'm talking about, and stop just trying to dismiss what I say and insult me. The body has a c...
Yep, that's been clear . Now take your fake claims to some other thread, we deal in facts in my domain. And do some research on that eye thing, you're...
Nope, just dismissed your nonsense with actual facts that were stated in the words you posted. Now, it's time for you to address even the first topic ...
It doesn't receive information, that's what it is saying. No we cannot conclude such a thing. We can conclude that the eye you speak of is not a tool ...
No, I'm the guy rescuing you from your daydream. The brain controls everything. The brain and body are ONE, not separate: "The brain is a complex orga...
The eye that your wikipedia article is talking about, is not an image processing (sight) tool. What do you think it means when it clearly states, over...
This is some mealy-mouthed weasel speech. Never have I said anything about scientism or fucking bible thumping, you insufferable, mystic prick. You ow...
You mean, the experiment that determined this?: "Here, our research reveals the brain's remarkable ability, or plasticity, to process visual data comi...
To just about every extent. There has not ever been a reason to not use science as one's platform for deriving abstractions in philosophy. Any philoso...
Blithering nonsense. The eye is the tool that the brain uses to generate sight. It has no function without the brain. I don't unite the eye and brain,...
No, because the manner in which we do that isn't straight forward, it's a fluid and amorphus group of methods and multisensory correspondence, includi...
Sure, and those are questions he can answer. I don't find them very intersting, philosophically speaking. I don't have to understand every aspect of w...
You'll notice that it actually didn't, even in the quote you provided. "Integration" is repeated, but "differentiation" is explained as "isolated acco...
Sombody review this source, and tell me what on earth this "neoliberalism" is. As far as I can tell, it's a completely fabricated concept: https://reg...
Isn't math our tool for mapping this stuff? Wouldn't it make sense if the framework we developed to measure physical phenomena looked like itself when...
The only scientifically supported assertion (mine) on this thread is not the strawman. Your attempt to claim that I have asserted that I know how cons...
Correct me if I am wrong, but General Systems Theory covers this concept in detail, does it not? This structural analysis that we're discussing is pre...
Where did you generate this idea from? That's not true at all. Humans (all life forms, really) achieve homeostasis through acts that accrue the resour...
