You continue to evade the proposition posed to you, this is getting tiresome.

You are bound to stay confused whilst you continue to use outdated concepts such as mind. Mind is a state of consciousness. Consciousness is fundament...

Yet you take instruction from them!

No, experience is equivalent to consciousness. You have a conscious experience. Experience = Thought + Emotion Consciousness = Thought + Emotion When ...

These are expressions of consciousness

How can you separate experience and consciousness?

I'm sorry you find it spooky. I don't find it spooky at all. I believe humanity is part of the flora and fauna of the planet, is a complex biological ...

This was a hypothetical suggestion contingent upon accepting that consciousness arises from entanglement, integration and unification. You will accept...

Not conscious in the way humans are - but note humanity is conscious in different ways - on a spectrum. Animals are also conscious, but to a lesser ex...

IIT theory and GW theory are new theories of consciousness. They posit that consciousness is a state of unified information.From an idealist's perspec...

If consciousness is entangled, integrated and unified information, then it has a spectrum: 2 bits of info.......................to.......................

By definition consciousness is a state of integrated information as it is not possible to have a state of consciousness without integrated and entangl...

Thank you for pointing this out. It seems I am still somewhat stuck in oldspeak! I should have written: " Consciousness is a cognitive state of entang...

From an idealists perspective, we do not really interact with a material world so much as the information about a material world – where consciousness...

What defines "thinking"? - consciousness IMO: Consciousness is a state of entangled, integrated and unified information. Thinking is a state of entang...

A physical prison, because then you are imprisoned both mentally and physically.

Midazolam serves this purpose and is commonly used in conjunction with anaesthesia.

I don't think your emotional state can disappear regardless of the philosophy you follow, for the reasons we agree on, but it can be improved by it. E...

This sheds light on Einstein's " all time acts on all other time all of the time ". Thanks Time is an illusion. It is a man made dimension to locate a...

In the absolute sense yes, but there may be trivial actions where mental states don't count for much. However for the important decisions, where purpo...

Sorry to complicate things, but IMO any mental state has an associated emotional state ( qualia ). This emotional state provides the impetus for actio...

I'll second that:clap:

Consciousness entangles, Integrates and unifies information. It is the only mental faculty that dose so. When it comes to creativity – it is conscious...

Thanks Xtrix, thats very kind and generous. I arrived at this via a definition of art. Philosophy and art share the same problem in that the output is...

I can respect that you do, and that is the general understanding. But generally we do not understand consciousness, so I question the understanding. G...

My own understanding of consciousness is, of course, still evolving and highly speculative. Have you considered creatures that do not have brains?

I feel the brain is important, perhaps central. But there is enormous cellular complexity that has to be accounted for. What controls epigenetics? We ...

When superposition is collapsed it becomes matter. You seem not to understand very much, yet you make bold statements. This is an expression of your c...

Consciousness is an evolving concept. I may get a little ahead of myself but I find your views a little dated. I tend to agree with IIT theory and GW ...

That the Ducks are in a row is something you attribute to them. Before there were people there were no rows, nor 1 2 3, nor Ducks! Are these concepts ...

Spot on. To be more precise it is a mind activity. An activity of expressing your mind. The output of philosophical thought is information about the m...

I do not think we disagree on that much. I used to understand things as you do - almost word for word. I see things through a slightly different parad...

What is the mind activity that leads you to create art? Is it not your consciousness? — Pop The philosophy that aligns with my definition is a combina...

That you feel the need to create something - what dose that express? What is the mind activity that leads you to create art? Is it not your consciousn...

Not define and control, but describe and understand. The status quo is what is fucking the world. It needs to be challenged - I'm doing what I can to ...

Perhaps a thread where each member selects a favourite post ( not their own )?

I was just thinking about a thread on beauty / aesthetics - can we ground it in anything concrete? - I suspect not

Ha Ha , my bad. Thanks for the link anyway - I think its a clever format so will look into it anyway. I suppose you would have to approach each person...

I've had a look at your website and i like it. The 1000 word format sounds good. Ill submit something in the near future. I originally tried to steer ...

Consciousness seems to be immaterial? I have heard quantum phenomena described as immaterial.

I love your definition of philosophy Statillus. It and the above quote highlight how truth is not enough. Truth must be accompanied by a pleasant emot...

No, but expressing our consciousness seems to be something we fundamentally do. Either by philosophizing or raging, or however else. -This would be in...

Philosophy is a reflection of our consciousness. It reveals how we construe reality.

Thanks Outlander, and welcome to the forum - expressing their consciousness Welcome to the forum. I agree that art can be all the things you suggest i...

Yogic logic / Buddhism are theories of consciousness - there are many flavours however, so you have to do your own legwork. Panpsychism is the modern ...

Yes, pointing that out makes a huge difference.

This is not very enlightened talk - I'm surprised to hear it from such an enlightened mathematical artist. If you understand the underlying philosophy...

Yes, I like that :rofl: well said - and i agree - as we get older we are better able to integrate and unify ideas, and deal with situations, and that ...
