Thanks again, I'll let you know how I find it.

No problems, my interpretation of it is atypical anyway :smile: Thanks for the interest.

As I've previously stated, in Panpsychism, consciousness ( self organization ) is a property everything possesses. Including cells. I think it is enti...

I'm afraid they are, unless you can self organize unconsciously. That is right. The role of consciousness is primarily to self organize. I am explorin...

In Panpsychism, consciousness ( self organization ) is a property everything possesses. The universe is in a process of self organization, and so all ...

Thanks for that - I wasn't aware, I'll check it out.

I find this illogical - you are placing the cart before the horse. I have provided you with an alternative explanation, which you agree is logical, so...

Biology agrees with self organization.

I think, ultimately a philosopher has to answer how inanimate matter becomes animate, and there is no solution from the paradigm that you pose. Not ev...

I'm not familiar with those. I read Nietzsche at 14, and haven't found the need to read him again. I'm mostly interested in eastern philosophy.

In the context of the times, I think it was a step forward, though ultimately it was the wrong step. In the east they landed on consciousness, and I t...

I think its a matter of interpretation. I believe he could have gone further, and landed on consciousness, but then he would have challenged the soul ...

I think its fairly obvious that all is ineffable without consciousness, beyond this I'm not really sure what you are asking?

It would be impossible to reach such a conclusion without consciousness, hence we start with consciousness.

I have not disagreed with this. I have simply stated that B will continue to vary with A. B is not a fixed quantity, it varies with A.

Are you arguing that being is a fixed quantity? Being evolves with consciousness, in my view. It has changed throughout history, and will continue to ...

It implies that being is a function of consciousness. Consciousness must decide what consciousness is, and being is a function of that. Being is not a...

It suggests that consciousness is the fundamental element of being from which everything else must be interpreted. I think you dismiss this too easily...

I appreciate the paradigm you are coming from, but to what extent can something exist independent of a viewer / interpreter? And that the world develo...

I wouldn't say mere cells. My understanding borrows heavily from eastern philosophy, but there is nothing mystical about it. I think it is entirely lo...

That is not quite how I see it. Consciousness or self organization is the infinite element. It can assume many different identities, but that any of t...

Not quite. Idealism would prevail. As @"Olivier5" states , integration requires something to be integrated. I have started a thread on this and would ...

It seems to me, consciousness assumes an identity, and the ego is a personal measure of how well it is succeeding in maintaining this identity. If we ...

That is true, but the world is our interpretation of this information, rather than an accurate integration of the facts of the world as they might exi...

I think we exist as consciousness, and the world is a product of this, but I will start a new thread so as not to derail this one.

It lands on, I am consciousness, and from there it can not go any further.

I don't quite understand you. A feeling is sensed - always. In my theory, consciousness is self organisation, and all of life possesses self organisat...

Nothing is impossible in mind, but in the real world we make one action at a time, so it seems a decision was made / complexity and potential reduced....

Yes, our different terminology is an impediment. I would not call it unconsolidated information. I would call it integrated information or information...

You would then need to argue against the Planck length of time. If you accept the Planck length of time, then it is not a matter of whether frame rate...

Hi, we may be setting a record for size of posts, so instead of addressing all of your points separately Ill try and cut to the chase, but firstly to ...

I think it is absolutely logical. You can not have consciousness without experience. You can not have experience without emotion. You can not have emo...

Qualia articulates life, consciousness, experience, emotion, feeling, and a pain / pleasure spectrum. It connects them meaningfully. If you do not lik...

Are you saying this dose not apply to you? Edit. It would not apply to a philosophical zombie. :smile:

The below is a qualia articulation that I believe would satisfy the burden of proof sought. None of these elements can exist separate to the others. W...

They do not trust in their own feelings, and so they put their trust in the feelings of others. As far as I can see, there are no thoughts without fee...

Yes, I would agree with you. The entire biological system is undergoing a process of self organization, in my view.

I hope you don't mind me butting in, but mind and body are one. There is no separation - one cannot exist without the other. If you accept that consci...

:up: Those who identify with something anthropocentric surely must die. But those who identify with the universe cannot possibly die! How can they? I ...

Thanks for the excellent summary. Where do we start? Dennett accepts we have feelings, dose he explain why we have feelings? Dose he accept that every...

:up: It was put very well by somebody on another thread, but I can not remember who. It went something like; every experience creates a note, in seque...

You know Albert, but not through experience? :chin:

0 Because we are really talking about the qualia of consciousness, which in your case is the experience of Albert. I agree with you that it would be a...

Do you mean beings living within us? I think our cells are a sort of being that collectively create us. Is this insight part of a school of thought, o...

What I describe is a general formula which accounts for all instances of consciousness derived from external sensory information. The choice of words,...

When I say DNA, I really mean epigenetics, or cellular consciousness. DNA seems to be the custodian of this. You see the biosphere as the main organis...

Yes, this is how I see it. Dopamine, melatonin, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters have been isolated in plants. There is no evidence, that I am a...

Yes, I agree, emotions are what really matters. The Philosophical Zombie argument tells us that without emotions, there would be no consciousness, and...

What creates affect? "where you stand’ (as an interoception) ". Interoception, in its many guises, that you are aware of, reduces to feelings, and fee...

This would be a dualism, whereas I am a monist. Once the wave passes, so dose the pattern that formed it, I believe. What is controlling what / who? W...
