But isn't the mind the panpsychists talking about totally different type from the human mind? Wouldn't it be more like the "Soul" rather than human co...

Truly can mean truthfully and rightly too. Truth is an English word for truth. :D Anyway, "aletheia" is a Greek word for "truth", but it comes from th...

What is your evidence for the claim? No I don't accept it. I still believe that everyone (with common sense) knows / agrees that consciousness emerges...

I think that's what @"pez" meant for "connected" - consciousness emerges from physical brain. He didn't mean that it is connected physically with a ch...
March 09, 2024 at 17:13
What I meant was that everyone knows that brain is where mind and conscious generates and emerges. If I said "connected", that would be the relationsh...
March 09, 2024 at 16:29
I thought that was what you were saying. I never said that brain is connected to consciousness physically. It is first time I am reading it from your ...
March 09, 2024 at 16:26
"The bran is connected to consciousness." sounds even more vague. What do you mean by the brain is connected to consciousness? What is it connected wi...
March 09, 2024 at 15:50
Yes, that was my point against . This still sounds like a materialistic methodology. I thought Kant doesn't make explicit comment on the mind, self or...
March 09, 2024 at 15:25
The closest ancient Greek word for truth is "aletheia", which can be analysed etymologically a (negation) + lethe (concealment, forgetfulness, escape)...

No problems mate. I do respect your honest acceptance on the situation instead of keep going on with the wrong points and spiralling and falling into ...

Of course the physical brain itself won't be able to function without all the bodily parts and organs properly connected via the neural network. If yo...
March 09, 2024 at 10:22
That is the hard problem of mind-body issue. No one seems to know. The biologists and neurologists were suppose to find about it. Mind is located in t...
March 09, 2024 at 10:18
I recall reading somewhere, that in Platonic era of ancient Greece, there was no Greek word for "truth". Is this correct?
March 09, 2024 at 10:08
I recall Seth saying briefly in his presentation that human consciousness cannot be replicated in any form of AI or machine intelligence due to the fa...

It has been said in the ordinary language manner to indicate the most sensible educated modern folks. The modern dualists might believe mind and body ...

The medium was secondary consideration. The main consideration was human consciousness being property or character of lived life backed up by experien...
March 08, 2024 at 23:39
I was shocked to read the post by claiming that there are still many folks who believe minds are not generated from physical brains. If mind is not in...

My previous post here should cover answering your question. If you could read it again, and find any problems, please let me know. Thanks.

Sure, I am not into the exact statistic data how many percentage of folks in the world or TPF believe in the fact that mind generates from physical br...

Beliefs are bound to change through time and other factors. It can be every, most or a lot whatever ... :D Anyhow that goes to show that humans don't ...
March 08, 2024 at 11:01
In ancient times, they believed mind is in your heart, and your breath is your soul, suppose.
March 08, 2024 at 10:55
The most intriguing problem with consciousness is that everyone knows the mind emerges from the physical brain, but no one seems to know how the physi...

Human consciousness has been formed via life long lived experience. It has the biological foundation of course, but also educational, societal and evo...

Are there anything more than matter and motion in the universe?
March 07, 2024 at 08:43
Is Modern Greek a lot different from Ancient Greek? It would be advantageous to know Ancient Greek for reading philosophy.
March 07, 2024 at 08:33
Agreed. Human consciousness applies math to all the objects in the universe, but some folks think that math is embedded in the universe.
March 07, 2024 at 08:27
According to Hume, idea of self doesn't exist. What did Berkeley say about SELF? But the real question here was, how do you know the existence of the ...
March 07, 2024 at 08:24
Berkeley said "to exist is to be perceived." No perception means no existence at all.
March 06, 2024 at 17:22
What does it look like? Have you seen it personally in real life or even in your dreams?
March 06, 2024 at 16:48
What could that being possibly be?
March 06, 2024 at 16:33
If there were no humans on the earth, then you will see no math on the earth or anywhere in the universe.

Yes, the Youtube videos were interesting in that the presenters were all heretic types contrasting from the traditional science perspective in their p...

Why do you need information about the physiological state of the subject? Unless you are a medical doctor or neurologist, it seems to be a remote area...
March 05, 2024 at 17:20
Agreed. Good point. The mystery of life still remains, so does mind as a property of life. Fair enough. I found Sheldrake's points interesting too, al...

Your point sounds like mind is subjective in nature as well as objective in its capabilities, which I agree. But do you agree that mind can see things...

How would AI consciousness be different from that of human consciousness?
March 02, 2024 at 23:32
If brains aren't conscious, then what is consciousness? What do you mean by the being? Is AI a being? Is the world a being? Is God a being?
March 02, 2024 at 23:30
Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception also seem to addressing the physical body as the foundation of consciousness, which Seth seems to be agree...
