Anthropoid Consciousness Origins?

[iNow]

Nobody listened.

 

You confuse me bro. I can see no reason why you wouldn't want information which is grounded in reality instead of information which is grounded nowhere, but whatever.

 

 

Ideas are good. Imagination is good. Stating something which is counter to existing knowledge, cannot be proven, and which makes little sense is not.

Let me explain.

 

I read Pioneer’s comments as being purely ideas that may, or may not, hold merit.

 

Also, if I’m interpreted as encouraging unfounded ideas and the pseudo-knowledgeable, instead of what I was doing, that is, simply reacting to theatrics such as, “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP ALREADY”. Then what can I say? Maybe there is forum rule like, no theatrics allowed?

 

I do want info grounded in reality. But I also would like to hear intuitive assumptions and ideas. It might be just my incorrect interpretation of Lucaspa’s comments. That is, suggesting that I only want a hypothesize or speculation. When what I wanted are assumptions, hypothesizes, ideas and solid science. I interpret Lucaspa’s point as being that this thread may not be the correct place for assumptions, and I fully agree. That is why I suggest this thread may be better located in pseudoscience.

 

Perhaps another thread on consciousness needs to be started in this forum, with only questions, hypothesis’s and proven scientific data? I must also apologise for going down the assumptions path in this forum, as I wasn’t clear on the rules.

 

Cheers.

Hey, have you got a reasonably good link to what pansychism is supposed to mean? I'd be interested if it involves matter/energy holding 'conscious' properties, in an 'unconscious' way.

Abstract:

The generation problem is to explain how material configurations or processes can produce conscious experience. David Chalmers urges that this is what makes the problem of consciousness really difficult. He proposes to side-step the generation problem by proposing that consciousness is an absolutely fundamental feature of the world. I am inclined to agree that the generation problem is real and believe that taking consciousness to be fundamental is promising. But I take issue with Chalmers about what it is to be a fundamental feature of the world. In fact, I argue that taking the idea seriously ought to lead to some form of panpsychism. Powerful objections have been advanced against panpsychism, but I attempt to outline a form of the doctrine which can evade them. In the end, I suspect that we will face a choice between panpsychism and rethinking the legitimacy of the generation problem itself.
