EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something to add.
That consciousness arises from matter as some emergent phenomenon. Integrated information theory, micro-tubules, or whatever: no.
I believe consciousness is fundamental.
How do you mean fundamental?
They probably mean that consciousness does not arrive from matter - that there is some other thing that causes consciousness, like another fundamental particle or whatever.
Essentially they are arguing for the existence of the “soul” or “spirit” in some fashion or another. Definitely unscientific as we have no evidence of such a thing.
The problem with consciousness is that everyone has different idea what is is.
That’s the fundamental problem with everything, though.
I disagree with you, but that’s because your comment means something entirely different to me.
And I, in turn, accept your apology.

That’s not scientifically proven though, just an idea.
i agree, but i dont think any scientist seriously believes they have the answer to this debate. (i may be wrong)
