@secondordermind: you can map every neuron in the brain and still not find the actual feeling of being alive. that is the hard problem of consciousness. #consciousness #philosophy #davidchalmers #qualia #neuroscience
I really like the theory of panpsychism, that proposes that instead of consciousness being a property emerging from complex systems, such as the brain, it's a universal property, a fundamental feature of all physical matter, and the brain merely acts as a filter.

"Qualia" is a conceptual dead end.

Your joking aren’t you. We can map neurochemistry to feeling. We think in chemistry and detect via vibration ( tone ).

Buddhism describes it best. Consciousness is simply a quality inherent to the universe, in the same way that space is and there are many similarities between them. The question of which color is your favorite and why, has to do with conditioning and maybe even genetics or chemicals in the brain. Consciousness is not a thing itself but its the result of the coming together of actual, measurable energies and arises when the right conditions for it are met, and passes again when they aren’t met anymore. As for the question if we can measure it i like to think of a complicated device. The device is there to do a certain task and we can measure at which part of it the energy is moving through in that moment similar to how we can measure what part of the brain is active when we are having a certain subjective experience but we can never measure the device as a separate thing to its other activities, we are the ones that identified it as a device, because we want to use it for something, and can say the device is working as intended or its not working if no energy is moving through it anymore. So in the same way a device is not measurable as a whole separate thing but just arises as a working system that can complete its task once the right conditions are met, consciousness just arises when the conditions are met to do the task that its supposed to do which is help the body grow and stay alive for example.

Mayyybeeeee... There is no consciousness and THIS is just a concept of oneself

we know the brain produces consciousness but we don't know how. we know the universe exists, but we don't know how. Not knowing how, doesn't change what we do know.

it turns out when we have conscious experience our neural signal loops inside brain and that's it

Master Rico :
those qualia are the stuff of consciousness, consciousness is not generated in the brain, the brain and body are receiver and vehicle for the consciousness signal to experience the phsycal reality in spacetime, consciousness itself exists beyond the limits of what humanity currently understands reality to be, matter didn't give rise to consciousness, consciousness exists beyond spacetime and generates matter through the manipulation of energy.

The energy pattern creates consciousness... this energy pattern is unique, it is connected to the family tree and their lifestyle, from food, light, water, feelings, temperature, plus timelines... there are more aspects, this is just one example... so, if a person dies,... the universe is able to create the same consciousness again in a new body, which could be on planet Earth or in another planet that supports life , depends on the timeline and the condition

seems we are so far away from full mapping a human brain that. maybe we have to do that before we can try to tackle the hard problem?
