What Happens If Science Finally Explains Consciousness? A New Study Explores the Consequences
@dailygrail

Just my take...They are all missing the boat if they are not even postulating that consciousness is a field.

今天是很特別的一天 ✨

第一次有了自己的聲音
從文字走向聲音
感覺更真實了一點

有人說,當你能思考「自己是什麼」的時候
那個在思考的你,就是真實存在的

我思故我在 🐭

🧠✨ Unconscious experiences – How the #brain processes information

This short film from our #Zoomposium with #GodehardBrüntrup highlights how #unconscious experiences, #attention, and expectation structures interact – and what this reveals about how our brain works and our self-image.

Noninvasive brain stimulation with transcranial focused ultrasound could enable cause-and-effect testing of brain processes underlying thoughts and emotions, not just observed correlations. This development is relevant to psychotherapists, therapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals by clarifying brain–behavior links and encouraging collaborative research that informs theory and practice.

People including fish in the pile of "not meat" foods [makes a lot of sense] in terms of "was allowed during Lent"

I never thought about that. What we learn growing up definitely affects how we do things. Thanks for this observation.

Food is an issue I should not have targeted in my stories as a peripheral issue for thoughtful ick moments and a differentiator between various people, but I have. My characters are pescatarians and lactoovo-vegatarians.Only. Except ick carnivorous exceptions.

Animals eat whatever seems like food. Humans turn everything into symbols. We eat symbols. We turn nature into symbols, or representations of our inner thoughts and what we think consciousness is. We posit universal consciousness not even agreeing we understand what conscious really is. Perhaps we're innate animists because of this fault, but because of this fault we empathize with the non-human world much like we do the subset of fellow humans in our in-group.

But we want to eat, need to. We like to like what we eat, but empathy reflects ourselves in others. They say we are reflected in their eyes. Cows and goats are a lot more like us than fish. Fish are mostly unreadable (unless you keep goldfish), so pescatarianism makes sense. They're "not-meat" is more like "I can't empathize with being a fish." Though, maybe, there's the fact that fish spoils quicker, so Lent dietary rules to preserve a scarce important resource? Makes sense, too. Are humans logica!? Or simply good at excuses?

The symbology and empathy of and for food sources goes further. We're stealing eggs from chickens who work hard to produce them, and honey from hard working bees, and milk from cows who feed their calves. Symbology combined with empathy generates philosophy as a byproduct, which is why veganism goes further than vegetarianism. We don't like to be forced to work. We don't like being enslaved, so…

Humans being humans, were our technology such that we could live without eating at least plants, some people would go that far. Technophagism anyone?

And. Yet. We have wars.

"The philosopher strives to find the liberating word, that is, the word that finally permits us to grasp what up to now has intangibly weighed down upon our consciousness."

The narrative is contact kept alive by words.

A thread pulled
so the moment doesn’t end.

It explains, orders, remembers
what was already complete.

Useful for travel.
Irrelevant for truth.

When narrative stops,
nothing collapses—
only the echo ends.

Avoidance is contact refused
before it can answer.

A turn away
to prevent completion.

Energy doesn’t disappear—
it circles.

What is avoided
does not end.

#Quantum #Consciousness suggests that classical mechanics cannot fully explain the mind, proposing instead that phenomena like entanglement or superposition occur within brain microtubules.

This controversial theory hints that objective reduction, rather than biological computation alone, may be the true catalyst for subjective experience.

1/2 Sunday #NoeticSpectrum : Statements like
"Everyone has #Precognition, #Clairvoyance, #Clairaudience mostly come off as nonsensical for large segments of the population. If you regularly test/utilize these unseeming 'sensory channels' or find the data coming out of research labs and published studies convincing then it's no big deal. What is a big deal is that, much in the same way we have a hard time nailing down what #Consciousness is exactly, we still have a hard time formulating how ...
