duendy """HOW--from se-called consciousess-less neurons, synapses, molecules, atoms etc does subjective consciousness happen.....? HOW?"""
Who are you to say that neurons are "consciousness-less"??
And who are you to say that the roughly 10 trillion neurons in the nervous system, all firing, interacting with each other, chemically and electrically, wouldn't be magnificient enough to constitute what we call "conciousness"??
Where else do you propose conciousness is, is it some invisible spirit nobody can see?
Is it in the heart? Or the rectum?
pffft.
me)))))))))not ME, you rude silly boy. materialistic science says it.
What is being explored is that neurons, atoms, etc are 'tinngling with consciousness'. That matterLenergy is sentient....So in your drama of explaining me wrong, your agreeing with me...haha
If someone beat someone to death, I believe conciousness would cease to exist.
Take that Terry Schiavo case. She was brain dead, but her family wanted to keep her "alive", and they did so for 15 years. Thank goodness that woman has now been given her peace.
They were interfering when they put the feeding tube IN, not when they took it out!
