Here is an argument for the general perception of Light of any Wavelength. This argument is based on an engineering analysis approach where we trace t...
We Do Not See Objects We Detect Objects The Big Bang happens and a new Universe is created. This Universe consists of Matter, Energy, and Space. After...
My experience of a Red snooker ball, or any Red object, in a Dream is that it is just as Red as my experience of Red in awake Consciousness. You might...
If you are talking about Conscious Volition then the sequence would be from Conscious Mind to Physical Mind (Brain). We have no idea how a Conscious d...
Lets consider the Conscious experience of the color Red again. The chain of events is from Physical Red Light hitting the Retina to downstream Neural ...
When we talk about the Bell we are talking about the Conscious experience of Sound. To make the Sound analogous to the Red we should talk about a pure...
I use the redundant Redness of the Red to make people stop and think about the sensation or experience of the Red itself for a moment. What is that Re...
For me the Redness of the Red is just as Red in 2 and 3. With 1 the sensation of Redness is more vague but the Redness is there nevertheless. It's imp...
Since the Red we experience with all 3 of these things is the same or at least similar, it is completely sensible to think that there has to be someth...
To prove that Mental Imagery and Dreams exist would be to solve the problem of Consciousness itself. You are asking for the Answer before you even sta...
There are no Fermions or Bosons involved with the scene you might See while dreaming. In this case the scene you See is not correlated with any Fermio...
When you say why should we worry I guess you are saying that you just don't care about the problem of the Conscious perception of Red. That's ok for y...
Since nobody knows what the Redness is, it could be as you say or as I say. But it seems to me that because Science has not been able to figure out wh...
But I am saying that the Red is not something that we can categorize as Matter, Energy, or Space. It is something different. It is a Conscious thing. ...
I'm not quite sure what is simpler when it comes to Sensory inputs but I suppose a Bell and a Flashing Light would be more complicated and would resul...
All you have to do is rub your eyes and you can see Lights. So we know that even that very external mechanical stimulation of the Visual system can cr...
I think it was the last sentence that got me off on the track I went on. It seemed like you were saying that the snooker ball actually had the Redness...
The snooker ball does not have Redness as a Property. The snooker ball reflects Light at a Wavelength of 680 nm. But the Red Light has no Redness Prop...
The Hard Problem is a Philosophical not a Scientific proposition. I agree we can only use the tools that are available at this moment in history. If C...
I suppose I am a Dualist and an Indirect Realist. But I don't like to put myself in one of these boxes because there is usually other baggage that com...
We speculate that the Conscious Mind is connected to the Physical Mind (the Brain) in some way. If the inner Self is connected to the Thalamus then th...
I think 1 can imply the sense that the Visual Image of the snooker ball is Out There in the external world and you are really Seeing it as it is. But ...
No doubt that Neural Activity seems to happen when a Red Experience happens, but how can any kind of Neural Activity result in that Experience? Memory...
Yes. What is Red? Where is Red? When we know Red and find Red we will have solved the Hard Problem of Consciousness, not just for Red but for all Cons...
I didn't raise any language issue. A bunch of posts back somebody made the claim that if we could just "Get the Language Right" then the Hard Problem ...
I think that for some people 2 opens up the possibility that the Red is out there in the Physical World. Whereas 1 emphasizes the fact that the Red it...
If the Conscious Red experience is a thing that exists in Physical Space then what is it? Is it made out of Matter, Energy, or is it some aspect of Ph...
You say things like this : I think when you say the Robot Sees Red you mean that the Robot only Detects Red. It does not have a Conscious experience o...
Do you seriously think a Robot has a Conscious Red experience? I think you must know that a Robot is just a Computer that is processing numbers. The H...
All this may be true. But the question remains: How do we See Red? A Memory of Red is just chemical modifications among the Neurons associated with th...
I think I understand now. You are saying that there is no such thing as the Conscious Red experience. Do you not See the color Red? If you do then it ...
I agree with you about language up to a point. I try not to talk about Consciousness in general but instead I like to use language that talks about pa...
My first question would be: What Energy Flow are you referring to? A normal Energy of Science or are you speculating on a new Energy not known to Scie...
Unfortunate that you can not appreciate the question: What is Red? To me it is a pivotal question. It is not the only question but you have to start s...
If you are saying that Consciousness is something outside of known Scientific knowledge, then I agree. Seems like there is a relationship between Neur...
I don't get your point here. Microsoft Word didn't create a Laptop. Good video. Gave me new insight into Universal Computing. I thought it was about C...
The fact that the Human Mind created the Laptop would indicate that the Human Mind is greater than the Laptop. First of all a Brain is nothing like a ...
But how can something like the experience of Red come from Memory Access? Memory Access is Neural Activity and other chemical changes in the Neurons. ...
Then you will agree that Physical Red Light does not in fact have a Property of Redness. It is the Conscious Light in the Mind that has Redness as a P...
Don't think about Objects think about the Red itself apart from any Object. Think about the Red experience. Objects are not Red. Objects can reflect R...
If Red is a Physical World thing then what is it made out of? Is it made out of Energy? Is it made out of Matter? Is it some aspect of Space? Science ...
