I have been doing battle with the Materialist/Physicalists for a couple of years now. My arguments are not about Religious Experiences but rather abou...

On further reflection I would say that my Criteria is as General as it gets. What could be better than peer reviewed World acceptance?

I think my criteria is a supremely good one for the specific problem at hand.

Ok good. Ok. Ok. I still don't get to a God concept just because we don't know everything yet. Now you are just apologizing for what is obviously an a...

Since Consciousness is such a completely unexplained Phenomenon, I would say that all attempts at an Explanation are on the table. When an Explanation...

Thank You for the link. I have been busy and just started reading your paper. You come to an important conclusion early in the paper that I m not quit...

Ok, but I don't understand why the Explanatory Gap is a Red Herring (from your previous post). If there is no Explanatory Gap then I assume you believ...

Do you have a link to your Paper or is your Paper the original post for this thread?

Since we cannot even begin to understand how to approach the study of Consciousness there is no way we can make a list of all the possible Explanation...

That's how bad our understanding of Consciousness is. We can't even conceive that there could be a Scientific explanation for it. But I think there pr...

I don't think there is any experimental test for this. I'm missing your point here because I said that Science will need to have the Explanation for t...

I think you are saying that there is only an Explanatory Gap if the Intentional Reality is found to be in the Neurons. But if it is found to be in the...

So I'm expecting that you are going to show how the Hard Problem goes away. Ill read on. I think you are missing an important aspect of Consciousness ...

The Hard Problem would be solved if there really was a Scientific explanation for Color. Science has known for a hundred years that when we experience...

You will never truly comprehend the Tesseract until you can comprehend some more simple concepts. First you must comprehend that a three dimensional c...

Time is incorrectly considered to be the 4th dimension. Space-Time is considered to be a particular kind of 4 dimensional Manifold. Time was never con...

The Consciousness that is connected to a 4D Brain would have more capability than a Consciousness connected to a 3D Brain. But I don't think that the ...

Why Humans Will Never Understand Four Dimensional Space I have always more or less been on a quest to understand the Universe. I decided to start with...

I really don't understand what you are talking about. Show me how I can actually move in the extra pair of directions that 4D would have. There are on...

You are wrong about Space. Our Space is 3D. There is no presupposing it is 4D. Think about the actual Space you live in. You can go Up/Down, Left/Righ...

Real Physicists and Mathematicians don't try to say that Time is a Spatial dimension. This has been done by People trying to sell books. In the real w...

The Energy that we are talking about is Electromagnetic Energy, not Kinetic and not Potential. Electromagnetic Energy is a real Phenomenon in the Phys...

I specifically said that the Cosmologists make Speculations. Nobody is taking what they say as some kind of Gospel. But you have to start with some ki...

It's not just a language game. Cosmologists have speculated that based on the Physics before the Big Bang that Space could have been 4D or other dimen...

The usual representation of the Tesseract is a self eating monstrosity, folding in on itself as it rotates. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesserac...

To extend into a 4th dimension you should use the same logic that gets you from the 2nd dimension to the 3rd dimension. You will have to find a direct...

I agree. They should have let Time be the 0th dimension.

Yes cool picture. There will be another pair of directions, but I'm not sure what requirement you are putting on these directions by saying eccentric ...

First of all the Universe is 3D. If the Universe was 4D you would not just unexpectedly slip out of our Slice and into another Slice on special occasi...

I agree. We would need a 4D Brain and Retina. The Retina would be Flat like ours but would have 3 dimensions of Flatness. The problem with understandi...

But a Bats Radar sense can be perfectly understood by the 3D Brain. We may not know exactly what a Bat Sees in its Mind but we do understand. The 4th ...

When I say Energy I am referring to Electromagnetic Energy, which is not just a Mathematical Tool but is an actual thing. Energy is what Matter is mad...

The Arguments, Logic, and Terminology that lead to this Conclusion will be found on the website at http://TheInterMind.com. The following is taken fro...

Very Good, You get it. Thank You for the great post!

Ok, I give up. What is your theory of Explanations? Lets just use your theory and answer the question: How does Neural Activity produce Conscious Acti...

If the Scientific explanation, for something like the experience of the Color Red, consists of an analysis that ends with particular Neurons Firing th...

I can't get past the assumption where you say, that when you are not Consciously driving, that this means you are Directly Perceiving. Could you elabo...

I don't have a theory of Explanations. Where did you get an idea like that? Ok then what did I say that seems like a theory of Explanations. All I eve...

It's a Semantic game and it's a Diversion from the issue which was: How can Neural Activity produce Conscious Activity? We need an Explanation for tha...

So you are playing some kind of Semantic game with this. There exist Explanations for Neural Activity. There are no Explanations for what Property in ...

If Neural Activity seemed like Conscious Activity, in any sense of the word "Seemed", then we would have a starting point at least. But Neural Activit...

See http://TheInterMind.com for more on the terminology of the following: Even if Reality is a Simulation we obviously still have Conscious Experience...

That's funny. Might not be as consistent as I would like but the Capitalizations are not Random.

I don't want make any generalizations. But for this specific case the disparate nature of the Phenomenon of Neural Activity and the Phenomenon Conscio...

it's not about assuming a difference. It's when the Physicalists say "no further Explanation is needed" that I have a problem. They can't just say the...

I want to know How any kind of Neural Activity can result in the experience of the Redness of Red, for example, in the Conscious Mind. Mapping the Bra...

I've seen that affect before. Good luck with your recovery.

Thank You for the link but that kind of thing is all about the Neural Correlates of Color perception and not about the actual experience of Color in t...

Sorry, but this topic does expect a certain minimum of prior knowledge of the issues of Consciousness. If you are just playing word games then I can't...

Science has made great progress with understanding the Neural Correlates of Consciousness. This is the Easy Problem of Consciousness. But Science has ...
