Date: July 13th, 2024 5:14 PM Author: Dark Gas Station This is merely an emergent *function* of consciousness after it has formed which is not what OP was getting at. A good point though. And that’s definitely one thing that consciousness, that great hallucination maker does. Consciousness, at least human consciousness, really works against clear thinking sometimes and obscures answers, leaves us in the tarpit of human subjectivity when the answer to certain problems we really need to answer may require us first to try to think like AI, or aliens, or lions!
As an aside, this is one reason art is so important. While art may or may not teach us to think like aliens or AI or lions(!) it may at a minimum teach a certain plasticity or expansion of awareness, at least for a little while. Like squats for our sense of selfhood. |

Date: July 12th, 2024 5:49 PM Author: vibrant amber spot masturbator Op here. Great discussion ITT.

Date: July 13th, 2024 4:21 PM Author: Dark Gas Station The long and short of it is that it is an emergent property when there is a certain amount of data processing taking place in a system. The data processing should include proprioception, food drive, some kind of memory, and a few other things like sensitivity to pain and avoidance. Sense of “beauty”?
Generally speaking consciousness happens to have qualities that are beneficial to the survival of the creature. It is susceptible to being hijacked by parasites like religion.
Dumbs here won’t like this post because if you don’t say it’s “magical” or “from God” like a medieval cleric they aren’t having any of it. In fact, you can get a data point on a poaster’s iq here if they can’t get past the dualism hallucination which has been put to bed for years and years now by mature thinkers on this point. Hth. |
