That is interesting, please elaborate.

If you believe DNA is biased to be, then this would be the fingerprint to refute Barrett's argument. A bias is emotional information. If DNA is biased...

I think the strongest insight of my theory is that emotions orient us in our personally constructed reality relative to the information surrounding us...

She states that emotions are created in the brain. This would be incompatible with Denton's view and your statement : " I’m certainly not denying its ...

It is hard to disagree with this. But some people believe there is an even greater pleasure. The first 5mins of the below video would explain. https:/...

I have never liked the term affect. It is ambiguous in common usage and it is conflated, it seems, in scientific usage with different interpretations ...

Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for your engagement, valuable suggestions, the pointing out of flaws, and alternative perspective. Whilst I don't ...

What you are describing is a mental algorithm. I have gone as far as to say consciousness works something like this. It is a great way for biological ...

A lot of that high school stuff is now very dated. When an organ is transplanted, the nerve supply can not be rejoined, but the organ nevertheless is ...

Excellent topic. Theoretically their consciousness should be composed of DNA, experience, and point in space, so you wouldn't think there would be muc...

Yes, and consciousness unlike simpler topics , like free will, is complicated and multifactorial. You and me, are like trees, we agree largely on the ...

Hi. I think , the truth initially exists as information that is interpreted and then put into words. The question is whether DNA is biased? I suppose ...

Hi. I'm arguing that the combination of pleasure and pain may be a pleasure to some, and not to others. And then there is the stoic thing where you ha...

@"Possibility" Good topic, You are saying that if a fundamental truth exists, it must be objective. lets test this. RNA and DNA is the fundamental inf...

That is a good one. I think If one seeks to avoid the experience then it is more painful then pleasurable, and visa versa. If they are equal then it i...

I think you need to define consciousness, as we all posses a different conception. I have defined it as a process of self organization. I think, unles...

I think you mostly object to my reductionist approach. You interpret what I am saying literally and definitively. But I characterize the theory as a s...

Neither do I, and I intend to expand the theory in that direction in the future sometime.

Hi, well you must be the first to have read it fully. :smile: My web sit stats say the average stay is 3 mins. Yes, I think because we all have differ...

Hooray! I think we agree! It seems to me that this is what I'm characterizing in the OP instance of consciousness. In my estimation, and yours, consci...

No, that's ok, I'm glad you explained it. My problem is, as I do not think as you, I can not not always evaluate what you are saying, but I'm glad to ...

We can not know this for sure with other humans either. I doubt vey much that it would be exactly the same pain that I, or you, would feel, but it is ...

As I understand it, it is a philosophy, introduced first by either Adiyogi, or Buddha ( dates are unreliable ), then branched off into religions - Hin...

It would be difficult to apply Popper's standard to philosophy. How do you feel about panpsychism. A panpsychist world would be similar to a Buddhist ...

:up:

Please elaborate, with solutions.

The rise of the middle class was also a big factor, I believe. Welcome to the forum.

The video below shows a microorganism being poked with a hair. It reacts initially by contracting. After some time of this it decides to move elsewher...

We all have different conceptions as to what consciousness is. I have defined it as a system of self organization. But yes microorganisms do react to ...

That ideas adapt to fit their environment - good one :smile:

The raven evolved as a result of a biological process of self organization ( a consciousness ). Whilst the desk evolved as a result of human conscious...

:up:

Maybe and / or. Of benefit to them, and not harm them. I think we are fundamentally wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure. Although we often incur pai...

Yes I agree, I'm a total novice at this, but I think I can find a better way to do it. I'm glad you replied, I value your input as one of the deepest ...

I am consciousness, I believe, is the form of what you are looking for. Nothing seems to be permanent, not the cells of the body, certainly not consci...

Yes I would agree. Self interest is key, and you can look at it conversely - who would agree with something that is of no benefit to them, or that cau...

Your heat pump performs many of the functions that sentient creatures perform. What it lacks is feeling. This makes it indifferent to whether it perfo...

My understanding of consciousness follows a similar line of reasoning. It is generally thought that the how of consciousness is the easy problem to so...

I was referring to the issue at hand. Of course my theory exists within a larger theory. As a philosopher you would like to see it in this context, un...

In this instance, the human mind that you are thinking about is a concept itself. You are reflecting on a concept, in my opinion, it just so happens t...

Yes, I will have to rephrase this. I was really referring to a low energy state - the boundary of life and death. Classical mechanics has no such theo...

Yep, this is how I understand it: Zero point energy is the divide. Living matter resists zero point energy with consciousness, whilst non living matte...

Hi, thanks for your valuable input. Consider this: Inanimate matter falls to zero point energy, whilst life resists zero point energy. In death we fal...

This is not solipsism, it is idealism, so long as you understand that others exist and there is a physical world, which everybody interprets slightly ...

We still have an emotion - it is just a neutral one. Now if 2+ 2 = 4 , was pleasurable - that would be the life! :smile: "Nature has placed mankind un...

Thanks for getting back to me. Are you using WIX? If so we are probably using the same template. :smile: I realized very early on, that a theory of co...
