I was thinking in that way in the beginning, but it seems not much meaningful to say function of the brain when you cannot explain in detail on how th...

The content of consciousness is not consciousness itself, is it? The content is the input data of your experience via perception, sensation and imagin...
February 16, 2026 at 23:54
You seem to be talking about the content of consciousness, not consciousness itself. Even my own consciousness content would be different from this mo...
February 16, 2026 at 23:47
OK, let us suppose that they are different. How does the content of brain difference affect on what aspect of human consciousness?
February 16, 2026 at 22:07
I am not sure on that claim. It is something we don't have definite answer. Without actual detailed examination, investigation and comparison, we can ...
February 16, 2026 at 22:03
What is the ground for it being fundamental? IOW, how is it fundamental?
February 16, 2026 at 15:20
If consciousness is not physical, then it is either mental existence of the Cartesian nature or it doesn't exist. Does consciousness exist as soul or ...

Don't you have to prove that God is real prior to further points? Your are introducing a dubious premise which has no proof or foundation here. Until ...
February 16, 2026 at 12:11
That was my point all along too. We have agreement here. :fire: :sparkle:
February 15, 2026 at 23:47
If consciousness emerged from brain, then why all consciousness differ from other consciousness? Does it mean that our brain structure is all differen...
February 15, 2026 at 11:10
Very thorough and detailed explanation indeed. :up: :pray: Thank you. Yes, it seems definitely a cause and effect relation exists in the process. Howe...

So, you are saying the triangle is not a separate existence from the lines. Is this correct? Does it mean the triangle is the lines, and triangle exis...

Does liquidity emerge from the properties of particles? Could you explain how it happens in detail?
February 13, 2026 at 16:14
I am not your work boss. I wasn't saying to you not to use negative words in your posting. My point was, say whatever you want, but if you did, don't ...
February 13, 2026 at 16:07
The triangle was made up with the lines. It didn't emerge from the lines.
February 13, 2026 at 16:01
I was trying to give some ideas on emergence. It wasn't an answer for your questions to TC.
February 13, 2026 at 15:59
Another reasoning on emergence. If X emerged from Y, then X must exist separate from Y. If X exists in Y after emergence, then X is equal to or part o...
February 13, 2026 at 14:38
Correct. They usually don't use "the" in sentences either. They will say "the frog", only when asked "which frog?".
February 13, 2026 at 13:06
Yes, maybe it may have. It could be further point of discussion for clarification? Some nights in my dreams, I see places and houses I have never been...
February 13, 2026 at 13:01
Japanese and Korean language say in the order of "Frog to me pass over." They have different order of saying words in sentences, i.e. the different ru...
February 13, 2026 at 12:59
If X emerged from Y, then X cannot be before Y in time. If consciousness emerged from body, then consciousness cannot know anything before existence o...

I am not sure if rules are being made on everything. Some are made, but some are inherent. And not every rules are social agreements. There are privat...
February 13, 2026 at 11:56
Totally unnecessary words in philosophical discussions. You are just letting everyone know you lost control of your emotion. I would rather discuss an...
February 13, 2026 at 00:54
I said in my previous post that your examples don't seem to have credibility for the concrete evidence of evolution is true. Please read it again. If ...

Not sure about the universe - how large it is and how it began. One thing seems to be clear is that concepts are made by man. Western chess has its ru...

There seem many things operating under the rule of random selection or random events. Consider the lottery jackpot numbers drawn from 50 numbers plus ...
February 12, 2026 at 14:59
Can you not make up your own rules for own private language, confirm and agree with the other member who uses the private language too? Yes, it is a p...
February 12, 2026 at 14:53
The rule of random determination? Can't randomness be considered as a rule?
February 12, 2026 at 12:36
But when they are learning language, are they not also learning the rules i.e. how to use the words? When child learns words, it will be by experience...
February 12, 2026 at 12:33
Fair enough on your point. But it seems that no rule is necessary for why concepts have rules and logic in them. We could only say some concepts are a...
February 12, 2026 at 09:46
Your examples don't prove human evolution conclusively. Not sure where you shoveled across the examples from, but those are just features which could ...
February 12, 2026 at 09:39
I was only pointing out your ability of understanding English and bad spelling at times, which seems to be the cause for your misunderstanding, becaus...
February 12, 2026 at 00:37
It wasn't about me, but it was about clarifying your misunderstandings. Your posts contain spelling mistakes on the basic simple English words too, wh...
February 11, 2026 at 20:51
Concept doesn't do anything. Humans do things - use concepts in thoughts and statements. Stone is heavier than water. - The concept of stone has the i...
February 11, 2026 at 17:06
A concept is not just a word, but it has meanings. When the meaning is stated, it presents the formal rules and logical structure of the concept.
February 11, 2026 at 17:03
Concepts are logical structure and have formal rules. A human is not a cup. Consciousness is not unconsciousness. A fool is not wise. Socrates is mort...
February 11, 2026 at 16:43
The suggestions were purely to give some ideas if evolution worked, what could be the case. It is not saying that we need to fly around cities. But if...
February 11, 2026 at 10:32
Without any logical argument, just your blurting out "Fail" and "Nonsense" to the others' point sounded abrupt and pretentious too. It appears that yo...
February 11, 2026 at 10:13
Yes, I said no one is denying that. But they are not consciousness. It does. But it needs good education and philosophical training for maximum perfor...
February 10, 2026 at 17:21
More or less the same thing, but more accurate word is "explaining". It really doesn't say much. No one is denying brain is connected to consciousness...
February 10, 2026 at 17:10
Science tries to explain how information is processed in what path of the neurons conjunction to which part of brain, when they claim to be explaining...
February 10, 2026 at 16:30
I am not sure, if it is meaningful for the division. Because as I said, consciousness is a word describing a biological being behaving in certain way....
February 10, 2026 at 11:58
Fair enough solar. I haven't read any of your posts before, but maybe you have written something on the topic? Not sure. But if you do follow the OP, ...
February 10, 2026 at 11:29
I feel that you didn't need to be so vulgar and abrupt in your comment on what is after all a philosophical topic discussion. Let's be honest. The OP ...

Amoebas can be aware of the type of water and depth of water they are in, can adapt for different temperatures of the water, and can solve problems in...

And one more thing. I have no access to your subatomic structure for your consciousness. I doubt if anyone else does. The only way I can access your c...
February 09, 2026 at 12:43
I have absolutely no idea what is in your mind, apart from a telltale sign of your unwillingness for further discussions on this topic. Happy days. :s...

Science is based on observation and experiments for their laws and theories. When science is working and claiming their own metaphysical views on the ...

It is up to you how you read and understand others opinions and interpretations on the point. No one can dictate how you feel and understand it. That ...

There is no problem in revisiting already discussed topic in the past, if new truths could come out from it. After all, many folks are still discussin...
