You must be having a very long lunch.... ?

@Cutiebeauty Yup Have a nice day

I agree. It has been measured as electro-chemical signatures. I know this is too clinical for many. But the exact workings and make up of the brain is still being discovered. Its like defining love as nothing more than chemical reactions, thouroughly unsatisfying and boring, I know.

Here's hoping you are on that bed soon so you can reveal your secret...

@Cutiebeauty and you know you will be the one don't you? And don't be sad when I go. I am going to a better ... I mean a hole in the ground where I will rot and get eaten by worms, and where maggots and flies will lay their eggs. But you can't destroy energy and since we have electrical energy in our brain, if you feel some static electricity in your hair that will be me.

Oh damn.... Sorry lol

@Cutiebeauty
Haha
I’m exaggerating a bit
It’s a great topic and a lot of fun

Here’s my first question for you.
There are typically 3 responses to this.
Where do you feel the counsciousness exists?

Also could you please define what consciousness means to you?

@darthfaja consciousness resides where memory is, I guess... And my definition of consciousness is... Awareness of our environment, internal and eternal...

@Cutiebeauty
Usually people say their brain, heart, or entire body. So that’s a normal reply.
Self awareness is a good place to start.

Would you refer to your counsciousness sort of like your soul? (Let’s avoid the religious implications to my statement for times sake because that’s a different can of worms)

Also if it’s your brain is that where you exist?
If I removed your brain and put it in someone else’s body would you consider they would be you?
(Assume that’s possible)

@Cutiebeauty and I will answer your question. We just need to go for a conversation walk first.

@darthfaja yes... The brain is who we are... All of us is the the brain. ... Transfer my brain , you transfer me... No need to discuss a soul... The soul to me is the mind...

@Cutiebeauty good
Ok then are we in agreement that the brain is or contains your counsciousness?

Which is it to you?
Is your brain your counsciousness or does it just contain your counsciousness?

What would happen if you have a head injury or an infection that changed who you are?
Are you a new person or are you trapped inside?

What about drugs that alter counsciousness? Is that real or is it invented.

If it’s invented isn’t that our reality for that space of time?

How do we know that the color red we see is the same color someone else sees? What if there red was our green? This has to do with perception. How do each of us perceive and relate to our surroundings.

Start there I’ll respond more when I read your answers. You don’t have to answer all of that it’s more just to think about.

I’ll wrap it up soon

@Cutiebeauty and just so you know
I’m in agreement with you on everything thus far except I have a slightly different view of counsciousness.

@darthfaja I think the brain is the consciousness and also contains the consciousness... It's a solid mass... And if the brain is altered in any way... Through sickness or drugs or injury, the person... The consciousness must change... Perception is a whole different topic haha

@Cutiebeauty
Great!!
Ok....
Cogito, ergo sum. (I think therefor I am.)
we cannot doubt of our existence while we doubt....
dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum (I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am).

So basically wether or not we exist as we perceive we exist or as something else... even if we are just in someone elses’ Imagination it doesn’t matter

We exist somewhere
Since we are thinking we exist
We couldn’t doubt our existence otherwise
Since we doubt, we think
If we think we exist..... somewhere

Now if you want a specific measurement there are many scientists, neurologists, philosophers working to actually measure counsciousness. There are a bunch of different hypothesis on how to do this. One goal is to help make end of life decisions for a vegetative state and pulling the plug do to speak.

It’s still a large Philosophical debate on what the consciousness is.

I feel counsciousness is a state of awareness. This awareness is the awareness that our time is limited, that we will someday no longer exist.
I believe that this awareness is why we have always looked above for answers in ‘gods’
Because we are afraid

Ummmm... So in other words, no comment or you don't know? OK..

Of course.. I want thoughtful responses...

Thank you... I'm here to learn from those smarter than me..

@Cutiebeauty because those are the only ones you can learn from? LOL

@Cutiebeauty
No one is smarter
Everyone has their niche

@mooredolezal no.. But it's one way...

@darthfaja yes but some people have very small niches.

@mooredolezal no need for you to admit that... You're trying... That's the important thing...

@Cutiebeauty hey I'm highly specialized, but very good at what I do. What can I say?

@mooredolezal that's good... Confidence is very helpful... You'll learn much here with confidence...

First time hearing the term panpsychism ..
Thought id get some perspectives on it...
