No one has a clue what consciousness is !!! Consciousness is affected by many blood 🩸 chemicals and hypnosis and sleep and it is very weak labile. Glucose high low can alter awareness and alter consciousness! Alzheimer’s have disturbed consciousness. But still qualia is a mystery

I think science+art will solve consciousness but not one without the other. Science lacks an understanding of consciousness, art lacks the tools of the scientific method, but together they could explain how consciousness gets transmitted from one being to another.

Err, this didn't debunk the mystery of consciousness and reality at all. I look at this comment from the perspective of something I heard some time ago and believe: "In the world we live in today, philosophy doesn't exist". I interpret that as meaning: Scientifically, if it requires philosophy to explain it, fundamentally it's something that's made up. Given the comment was that "consciousness" will always rely on philosophy for its explanation, I think the value of the comment is reflected in that claim i.e. it is claimed consciousness will always reqire something, that is scientifically redundant in today's terms, to explain it so, what then is the value of the comment?

@@SystemUpdate310 I wonder if that has to do with the materialistic way modern science has taken, and also I get the impression "science" - or more those involved in some of what is called "science" - thinks only "science" can answer any questions. (Don't like the term "religion" for that is organised spirituality - but "religion is only make believe, philosophy is just.... well what is it? so left is for "science" to really come up with the answers) Once they open up the the reality that existence have two parts - spirit AND matter (which are in a way one) they will get somewhere regarding the nature of consciousness.

we can explain conscious awareness in its most simple form has electrical activity in the brain that is aware of its own electrical potential. Consciousness is always in the forefront of the creative process therefore each individual is able to look back in time in all directions from ‘the moment of now’ in the center of their reference frame at the beauty of the stars. This personalization of space and time gives us the concept of ‘mind’ with each one of us having our own unique personal view of the Universe with an uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π probabilistic future. The flow of Time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π as a process of continuous energy exchange and our consciousness as a continuous stream of unbroken ever-changing flow of ideas, feelings dreams hopes perceptions and emotions are interlinked.

@6.17-30 is incoherent. 'If you look for the self, there's nothing to be found.' But there is the "YOU" that's looking, right? That the "you" can't see itself is mired in so many ways. The eye searching for itself in the experience of seeing can't see itself does not prove that the eye doesn't exist.

What consciousness is aware “of” changes. I can be aware of sleep, waking, intoxication, pleasure, pain ... but that which is aware of these things never changes. Science can study mind but not consciousness partly because consciousness itself is never affected by anything. We can only observe if it is there or not. What kind of science is limited to one single observation?

@@thomashartl8073 "Consciousness: [noun] the quality or state of being aware." "Aware: [verb] having knowledge, understanding, realization or perception." So there is "awareness/consciousness"... and "what" it is aware of. This is like a mirror and the things reflected in the mirror. The mirror never changes. What is reflected in the mirror is constantly changing. Science can study all of the changing appearances awareness beholds. But, like the mirror, awareness is never changed by what appears to it... that is to say, "what it knows." Like a mirror, awareness simply reflects whatever is there accurately.

@@calmmusicbackdrop8122 I like the analogy of consciousness with a mirror. But I don't think that this mirror is unchanging. Every higher creature develops such a mirror, which allows more or less self-observation. The alternative would be a mirror outside of the physically accessible world and our mind has to establish an 'esoteric' connection with it. In this case, the connection changes over the time. But I see no evidence for this.

I take issue with the point where he said humans ascribing themselves as intelligent is an androcentric bias, because, well, we invented the very idea of intelligence, and we invented it to describe ourselves, so I would say yes, we are intelligent, in the way in which we have created and defined that idea as a thing at all. There may be, as of yet undiscovered, some other entities which are more intelligent than us, in the ways which we define intelligence, like possessing super advanced math and science skills, or whatever, but that fact of their being more intelligent than us will be in every way based on the yardstick which is us. Personally, I believe in God, and so I would posit God as the supreme intelligence, all knowing, omniscient, etc., but for the purpose of we think about intelligence as relative to our capacity to survive, manipulate our environment, and handle abstract thinking. etc., the category of God relative to thinking about what intelligence is, isn't very useful, I don't suppose. You know what I mean Vern? However, as a matter of consciousness, and understanding what that is, I do think, at least philosophically speaking, that one of the ways in which we are made in the image of God is expressed in that power of perception and self-awareness, and capacity for understanding, and that our senses, which function within the material world, are like poetic analogues for aspects of how God perceives, knows, and understands, though in a highly attenuated manner. One of the other ways in which we are in God's image is in that we are alive, and God, being the ground of all being, is, in his own nature, more truly and fully what the very idea of alive really means.

And even if science finds a physical process that explains it all ( Aquinas did say that matter matters, and even God got incarnate) the choosing of a given response or idea over a billion possible others is still the key to this whole thing of consciousness, as well as conscience by the way.

To bare the fruits of wisdom one must always be objectively seeking truth; continually taking into consideration any and all doubts against ones current breadth of knowledge. Thus, the foundation that gives rise to true wisdom is by admission of knowing that you know nothing. Science can provide us a pathway out of 7000 years of guidance coming from superstition. Science allows us not to determine what is right and what is wrong,or what is fact and what is fiction. Science allows us to determine the usefulness of information. And if new information comes to light that objectively is more useful than the last, then we can immediately make use of new information as we objectively gain a better understanding of our existence. This can only be accomplished when we are objectively seeking truth which again requires us to Always be casting doubt on the things that we know and hold to be true. The beautiful prospect that I see in science is that it allows us to always be changing our minds which is quite possibly that that is the one of the best attributes of what is is to be human, And part of what allowed us to gain a revolutionary advantage over our biological competitors.

Can science explain Consciousness? No. Try asking the question, can Consciousness be experienced directly, "In-Itself". Yes. Access "Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir" and listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks. This is the foremost Shiva mantra from the Rig Veda that will enable you to know what Consciousness "Really" is. (hint: IT transcends the mind).

I’m gonna guess and say that it may be a case of: it’s a sort of illusion or hallucination generated by being alive, the things experienced are real, but there is no experiencer. My personal thoughts, I think consciousness is a computation generated by the body and which allows for a sense of self and the world. This computation physically stops upon death, but I would imagine that quantum mechanically and mathematically, that computation would be transferred into some form of energy and dissipates back into the fabric of reality.

Carl Jung was way ahead of the current thinking on consciousness. Science will never be able to explain something that science is a subset of. Mythology and spirituality are the closest you will ever get to ''explaining'' consciousness. Reductionist, linear, positivist concepts inherent in science make it incomplete, though it can explain certain aspects of reality.

Philosophy that causes the consciousness is being perceived as illusion because philosophy is in classic circularism when it talks about consciousness. The philosopical proposition is created in conscious mind then it uses the same consciousness to prove anything is the truth at all.
